Chapter 36

            Ten minutes after chatting with Bruce, Catherine, and Derek, Beverly went to the ladies room. When she came out, Keith was chatting to two women who looked to be in their late twenties. She decided not to interrupt. Beverly had made it clear to Keith when she had invited him along that he wasn’t going to get any poonani from her tonight. So, she was okay with him chatting up a few ladies who were going to give him some in the future.

            She started looking for a waiter to get another glass of champagne. She wasn’t driving tonight.

            A waiter approached her, but he wasn’t carrying a tray of drinks. “Ms. Balsom?”

            “Yes,” she answered.
