Next door Quote by J.T. Ellison
““Jerry went to do their bidding and the women turned away from the bar, sighting on any available man in the premises. Jane looked over her shoulder; there were only two other patrons in the bar, one a lonely-looking older man who’d been staring into a glass of beer for the better part of an hour and a handsome, military type with a wedding band. Jane smiled. He seemed like a sweet kid. She figured his friends were all next door, and he was just being true to his bride. An anemic surplus for the bridezillas to choose from. Maybe that would assure that they’d leave sooner rather than later. But””
