“You okay?” Slone asked, helping me stand upright.
“Great,” I replied. “Just peachy.”
He didn’t say anything, but he did open the back door of his truck—a fancy bright red one that just screamed ‘fast’ to me—and waited for me to climb inside.
Which I did have to do.
I was five feet five inches and had to have looked silly as I clambered my way into the behemoth.
“This thing is huge,” I said as he gently closed the door.
“This thing is stock,” Briley answered my comment. “The wheels are a bit bigger. Thirty-three inches. But they’re not huge. Uncle T has one that is huge.”
Slone scoffed from the front seat.
I couldn’t see anything past his huge shoulders, so I guessed I was going to be looking at nothing the entire trip.
I hated not being able to see.
CHAPTER 2
Spank me. It’s the only way I learn.
-Caristonia to Slone
SLONE
“Do you think she’s scared of heights?” my daughter asked me.
I had no doubt the woman in front of me was afraid of heights. No, afraid would be too calm of a word. Terrified. Unaltered fear.
Even though she hadn’t said it, she definitely was showing signs of panic.
“You said this one didn’t have a drop!” she said accusingly to the woman beside her.
Hades. Hermes. Something.
It was an odd name that I definitely couldn’t nail down.
Then again, all the circus sisters had weird names.
Now the woman currently freaking out in front of me? I definitely knew her name.
Caristonia. Though everyone called her Tony.
“I did no such thing!” Hades/Hermes said.
“Hades, you lying cow,” Caristonia grumbled. “You damn well knew this was a drop one.”
Hades was snickering now.
The name was obviously fitting.
“I’m sorry.” She wiped her eyes. “But you should see your face right now.”
Caristonia flipped her off, then started marching back down the stairs.
“If you go down to the second level, there’s another water slide that is much smaller than this one,” Hades called to her. “They even let the babies ride it.”
