Today's Friday Freebit is from Deadbeat Dads
Once Katie and Josh were settled, I picked up the phone, took
a deep breath, and dialed. “Babette, this is Mrs. Morris, I just….”
“I think you’re mistaken, I’m Mrs. Morris.” Babette’s whiny
voice came over the line.
I took another breath. Point made. “Right, this is Erica. I
just heard the news and wondered if there’s anything I can do.”
“Actually there is. You can leave me alone. And don’t think
you’re going to horn in on Johnny’s insurance policy either.”
I held the receiver away from my ear. That little bitch hung
up on me, slammed down the phone. I called to offer help, and the only thing Babette
could think of was Johnny’s insurance policy. Well let her have it. Johnny only
carried a minimal amount. She’d be lucky to bury him with it.
The next call I made was to Becky. “Hey Beck, you’re not
going to believe this. I just called Babette.”
After relaying the conversation to my friend, I was surprised at her
reaction.

Was that six paragraphs? You left me wanting more. Thanks for being on Friday Freebits. I look forward to my visits here. :)
First paragraph really raised my ire. I'm guessing first wife to second wife? I want to know what follows.
Oh, oh, sensing trouble ahead. What a nasty bitch. Definitely want to know what happens next.
