Chapter 1
Kenda Pierce needed to get out. Yesterday had been the anniversary of her best friend's death. Taryn's final instructions had been for Kenda to live her life and to not waste one precious moment wishing and waiting as she, Taryn had done. Kenda called all of her girls to go out for drinks and dancing, but when all of them turned her down; she put on her best freak'em dress and her highest stilettos and hit The 31 Club, the hottest club in Buffalo.
There was well over a few hundred people, but Kenda felt eyes on her. She moved around the club and eventually found a seat at the bar that allowed her to see all the action and participate if she felt like it.
"Kenda, what will it be?" Jack Sortino, the owner of The 31 Club had done business with Kenda's real estate firm, so they were friendly.
"You can give me a nice glass of Carolina Red," Kenda stated with a smile. Kenda looked around while she waited for her wine. Again, she felt eyes on her. Jack returned with her wine and she thanked him with a wink and a smile.
"Don't make promises you can't keep young lady. I may be old, but there is plenty of steam left in this engine." Jack winked back at Kenda and went about serving the rest of the customers around the large bar.
