[wordwizards]

i have found that i enjoy writing about heather hanging out with her brothers-in-law (brother-in-laws?)

Transcript in case it doesn't load right:

“I hope you don’t mind the dog.” “I don’t, but don’t let him into the backyard. There’s wolfsbane.” Benny turns on his heel and heads for the front door. In the process, he narrowly misses Heather’s shocked expression, but she doesn’t let him get away with it. As she shuffles into the house behind him, she asks, “Wolfsbane? Is there a werewolf problem in Rhode Island?” Benny removes his hat and sunglasses. Wisps of brown curls stick up in the air, and he runs his fingers through his hair. “No,” he says, “we’ve warded them off pretty well.” He slips past Heather to shut the door behind her. Heather unclips Barney’s leash, and the dog meanders into the kitchen to lie down on the tiles. “Must need to cool down after the walk,” Benny says. “I’ll pour out a dish of water for the poor guy. Do you need anything? Alcohol will, obviously, be off-limits.” Heather’s not sure why he would need to specify that when it isn’t even nine in the morning, but she declines the offer. She doesn’t want to think about trying anything right now when she’s still not sure what upsets her stomach.
