Alyssa Perie
Alyssa gripped onto the wine glass, listening to the classical musical of the restaurant and looking out to the cityscape. The smell of the dishes wafted through the air, and a bead of sweat trickled down her cheek. She gnawed on her lip, looking down and glancing at her watch every few minutes. She could feel the waitress’s eyes burning through her, full of fascination. A man slipped into the chair in front of her, she slammed the wine glass down onto the table, and she pointed to her watch and raised her eyebrow. “You’re late.” She said, venom clear in her tone.

She had gone for a walk after they ate some of MawMaw’s fried chicken and mashed potatoes, something she was famous for around these parts. Corduroy, or Cordie as everyone called her, was helping them gather some wood up, but they could tell she wanted to go exploring. So, MawMaw told her to take a walk down the path behind the cabin for a bit. She was walking along the edge of the path looking at the spring flowers starting to appear through the kudzu and thicket.
