Tamor turns around and rolls his eyes. "Hey, Boo. Why is Grinka such a bitch?"
A red light flashes at the top of the pyramid. Then a female voice with sultry tones emanates from the speaker. "I’m sorry, I don’t understand."
"Yeah, me neither." The fairy smirks and scratches his balls.
"Seriously?" I plant my hands on my hips. "You know I hate it when you call me that, and all I did was ask a simple question, so it’s completely unwarranted." Yes, I can always count on these two to piss me off enough to encourage the fireworks.
"Why don’t you ask Boo what she is?" Tamara gestures at the speaker.
Her suggestion puts the breaks on my desire to splatter Tamor into tiny fairy bits... For the moment. Talk to an electronic pyramid? Okay, why not. "Um, hey, Boo. What are you?"
This time the light flashes green. "I am Yam-Boom’s newest, top-of-the-line smart speaker. Over time, I adapt to the household’s specific needs, even adjusting my personality to those I speak with. Please, ask me anything. Just don’t expect me to know everything."
Man, Boo has attitude. Kind of creepy, though.
Tamara claps her tiny hands together. "Isn’t she cool?"
I’m not a huge fan of Yam-Boom. They employ fairies, who prevented me from publishing my novel. Speaking of fairies... "How exactly did you two buy something like this?" Neither have a job, and I no longer keep any spare cash lying around. Last time I did, the fairies stole my hidden stash and bought a tablet, which is now mine. My money, my tablet.
"Uh..." Tamor is never at a loss for words. What gives, now?
Tamara titters and flits up to me. "Remember, Herby? Our cousin who loves wine porn and works for Yam-Boom. Well, he hooked us up. Right, Tamor?"
Her brother’s head bobs, almost as rapidly as his wings.
Eh, I’m not so sure about that explanation. They’re acting shifty. Maybe I can explode the truth out of them.
Before I gear myself up to do just that, Syndago bursts through the front door. "Grinka! I got a job!"
What do you prescribe a depressed sea nymph? A handsome tree nymph, of course.
Grinka can’t stop dreaming of Bello, the hunky tree nymph she met a couple years ago. Unfortunately, sharing her bed with her drama llama teen nymph sister has put a damper on her love life.
Who’s she kidding? Her love life was nonexistent even before she took in her runaway sister. Well, aside from the incident with her goblin ex-boyfriend and his dwarven girlfriend – an event that continues to haunt her in the form of the stalker dwarf.
But Grinka’s not-so-giant giant best friend brings her the gift of Bello’s phone number. Can she summon the courage to call him for a date? And if so, what will her sister and the fairy brats do to ruin it for her this time?
