章 10: Chapter 10: How to Prepare?

“Such a whirlwind of a week,” Laura sighed. “What will I wear? How will I do my hair and makeup? I need help.”

Laura was a low maintenance kind of woman. She was a natural beauty with a white lightning streak of silver like a planned stripe through her platinum blond hair. The only time she got all dressed up with hair, makeup, and such was when she was performing.

Laura knew that a trip to the department store was necessary; all she needed was some money and the products, hair salon, and spa would be within her grasp.

A light bulb came on for Laura. “But I do have money. Luke’s liquor fund.” Every month she had to set aside $400, $100 a week, for Luke’s liquor. Beer and wine might be nice for some, but Luke preferred the hard stuff: vodka, gin, whiskey, mixers, and menthol cigarettes. He made Laura go, get, and pay for all of his alcohol although she did not usually drink except on rare social occasions, where she stuck with wine or beer.
