Excerpt:
January, Northwest Florida
Arena Season Week 1
Row 1...seats 12 and 13A...at the sideline barrier and smack center on the 25-yard line.
The season opener tickets were every arena football lover's dream, which is why Lindy Hamilton's fanny warmed the coveted seat instead of that one-minute wonder of an ex-boyfriend of hers.
Not that she was still bitter about finding him cavorting buck-naked with a bimbo who had no neck and hairy thumbs. No, she'd gotten over what's-his-name eons ago and had kept the pricey season tickets for her own use, especially since she was the one who'd eaten frost out of the freezer for a month to afford his surprise birthday gift.
He was surprised all right, right up until the moment she thwacked him up side the head with his prized stuffed trout and then peeled out of his driveway and out of his life.
Okay, she also kept the tickets so the cheapskate and his bimbo du jour would have to rot up in the civic center's nosebleed section because all the better seats were sold out. So happy birthday to Lindy instead...but she wasn't bitter.
She was getting even.
