It's my twenty-fourth birthday and I am celebrating it alone at the local bar, thanks to my sleazy, rotten son of a bitch ex-boyfriend, Jack, who decided to dump me on the day of our second anniversary.Thanks a lot, fucker.“I’m not kidding and you know it,” I say flatly as I delete random pictures of Jack and me from my phone. “Imagine the buzz after I get his interview up in the newspaper. He has never spoken about the accident, not since his conviction, did you know that?” I sigh as I delete my favorite picture of Jack taken at last year’s Fourth of July. Now I only have to scroll down and do the same with a couple hundred others.‘Slow Dance’ by Ana Popovic plays on the speakers and I feel like this is just my luck since it's the first song he and I ever danced to. Tammy shakes her head, her eyes lingering on the heavily tattooed man behind the bar.“Jacob Broussard is responsible for driving his best friend off the road and into smithereens, Gemma. News reports say he’s been cooped up inside his mansion for months on end. I doubt you’ll be able to even find out where he lives. And why do you need to go there and interview him yourself? Darren is drooling over this and you know it. It’s practically all I’ve heard him talk about these past few weeks.”I flip open my purse and count what money I have left. It’s not much, but it’ll have to do. It’s not every day I get to celebrate my shitty choice in men. Well, boys actually, if I’m being totally honest.“Darren wants to meet him because he somehow thinks he’s entitled to tell his story just because he’s a sports reporter and he’s obsessed with race car drivers. I’m sure that even if he managed to talk to him, he’d end up twisting the whole thing and making him out to be something completely different.”I watch her make a noncommittal grin and chug down the rest of her drink, gesturing to the bartender for another round.“Take it easy on those, okay? Last time we went out, you bailed on me without so much as a heads-up.”With complete disregard for what I just told her, she rolls her eyes and scratches her nose, looking around the crowded bar before she speaks again.“What makes you so sure he's going to tell you anything more than what he's already said to the Press before, Gem?”“Nothing,” I simply say. “I just know that I want to give him a fair chance. I want to meet this man in person, Tammy. See if he’s the cold-blooded killer everyone portrays him to be.”“Honey, flying out to New Orleans to talk to a convicted felon just for the sake of an interview, sounds way too risky. Even for you. What if the rumors hold true? I don’t want to see you get into any trouble.”“Please, spare me the lecture, okay? I’m a big girl, I can handle myself. I’ve read the dossier that the research department compiled on him. I know all his background information, where he’s from, his age, his political leanings. I’ve gone through all the court documents. I’m not going there blind. I know he’s angry, bitter, and stubborn as a mule. Did you know that he’s refused every doctor or physician's advice to get a prosthetic leg and make his life easier?”“No, I didn’t know that. Damn, he sure sounds like one headstrong, unbending son of a bitch, huh?”I pull out my phone and show
