Little Toy Bikers and a Woman on the Run

Chapter 146 Foiled

Louise sat in the salon chair, her hair in foil packets that were supposed to give her hair beautiful golden highlights.

"I don't know why you want to spend so much money on getting highlights. I could have done them for you," Casey said.

Louise studied Casey's brown hair with gold and orange highlights and wisely made no comment on the job Casey had done giving herself highlights.

"I'm excited about going to Florida," Louise said. "I've never gone anywhere on vacation before. Maybe my dad's new wife is a good influence."

"When my parents got divorced, my dad divorced me too. Never saw him again," Casey said.

"I don't know how fathers can do that."

"My father's a drunk," Casey said bitterly. "Maybe that helps."

"My mom is taking me to the airport and my father is going to pick me up in Orlando. I just have to change planes once. I'm a little nervous about that. What if my plane is late and the other one has taken off?"

"You get the airline to figure something out for you. You're smart. You won't have any problems. Maybe you'll get a seat next to some hot guy and you'll fall madly in love with each other."

"That's why I need the expensive highlights," Louise said with a smile. She, along with probably every other single woman in the world, had the same fantasy of finding true love on a plane.

"A new guy came into the store yesterday. Tall, dark hair and gray eyes. Hot. Not Jax Teller hot, but definitely drool worthy."

"Must have been lost."

"That's what I thought," Casey said giggling. "He is staying in Charming. He has something to do with the hospital."

"A doctor?"

"I don't know. Steve came in before I could finish questioning him."

"Hopefully that won't be the last time he comes into the store."

"You know that while you are in Orlando doing all kinds of Disney things, you'll be missing the social event of the year."

"There's a social event of the year in Charming?"

"Fun Town. You are going to miss Fun Town."

"Fun Town. Yeah, that's a tragedy."

"See, you go to Orlando and experience Disney and you will get all snobby and be too good to go to Fun Town."

"How could I ever be too good to go to Fun Town—the social event of the year?"

"Promise you'll go to Fun Town with me next year," Casey demanded.

"I promise to go to Fun Town with you unless I'm on my honeymoon with the hot guy I'm going to meet on the plane or you're on your honeymoon with the mystery hospital guy."

"Deal," Casey said.

An hour later, Louise left the hair salon with beautiful blonde highlights.
