Re: Annie + Open
Tasha barely knew Derek, but he seemed like a good guy -- did he count as a guy? -- and she was never one to turn down a party. Her contribution was a bottle of peach-flavored New Amsterdam vodka and a bottle of sweet iced tea, a winning combination in her book. The hunter paused mid-step when she spotted a beautiful woman she had never seen before near the food-and-drink table.
She sidled up, grabbed a plastic cup and plopped a few ice cubes in it, and began mixing her boozy iced tea concoction. "Hey, there," she said, brushing some of her braids over her shoulder and giving the stranger a crooked smile. "I'm Tasha." She held out one hand that was decorated with rings and tiny tattoos.
