She was surprised to find she didn’t actually recognize the woman helping her up. “Pretty sure people’ll talk no matter what, ma’am,” Maisie shrugged.  “The rumor mill ‘round here moves faster than a prairie fire with a tailwind.”  She’d been the subject of it a few times and found she didn’t like her name in everybody's’ mouths all the time.  “Thank you Miss…?” 

“Hmm, but isn’t that what keeps everythin’ interestin’? We’ve all got to find ourselves ways to keep entertained in a town this small,” Bonnie laughs, trying to keep the annoyance out of her voice at the end of the phrase. What she wouldn’t give to go to one good party around here that wasn’t themed around some sort of produce. “Bukater,” she answers, a more genuine and proud smile gracing her feature. “But it would be just as easy to say Abernathy. It’ll save you from the mix ups later this year.”

Nora nodded her head slowly as she got lost in the long, blonde locks of the other woman’s hair. After blinking herself out of the temporary haze, she smiled at her and took a sip of her water. “Yeah… i know.”

“Now, I ain’t no expert,” Bonnie prefaces, looking the younger girl up and down. “But you’d look really cute with a B cup. Fun, perky. I’d say maybe even a small C, but I feel like that’d be pushin’ it. You wanna look natural, like God gave you the gifts himself.”

[noramcdowell]

“Realistically speaking.. do you think it’s too late to take a loan out for some enhancements and become the next Dollie Parton?”

“I can’t say I’ve not considered the same thing for myself,” Bonnie said, eyeing the woman up and down. “But if I were you, I’d keep an eye on keeping the proportions even. Get too top heavy and it’ll throw your whole balance off, hun. Not to mention the back issues.”

[lyladonahue-deactivated20200620]

“Lord knows I am not in the mood for this,” she groaned, pinching the bridge of her nose to relieve the tension headache that had been pounding with fury the entire day. “Just tell me what you have to tell me and let’s get this over with.”

@frostfordstart​

[bonniebukater]

“Honey, you look like you could use a drink,” Bonnie said, looking Lyla up and down and letting out a heavy sigh. “I wanted t’ask ya how you would feel about bein’ one of my bridesmaids. Or, rather, tell you that you’re gonna be one.”

[emmettkimball]

“You know I haven’t been tubin’ on that river for ages. C’mon, let’s get the crew gathered up, strap some of those tubes together, grabs a few coolers and spend a Saturday gettin’ lost.”

@frostfordstart​

[bonniebukater]

“Honey, it’ll be a cold day in hell before you catch me tubin’. D’you have any idea what kind of bacteria lurks in water down by that river? One minute you’re havin’ a great ol’ time and then the next you’re in the hospital with a rare fungal rash.”

Stepping out of the auto shop after being done for the day, Landon put his skateboard down on the ground for a moment before getting on. Popping his AirPods on he scrolled through his phone to select a song and with that he was off. Making his way through Main Street his attention was drawn to Custards immediately thinking of the invite he turned down from his friend that he hoped was having the time of her life at the beach. “Oh shit!” he shouted when he turned his attention back to the sidewalk realizing he almost crashed into someone, immediately stumbling off the board. “Are you alright? I— I’m sorry I should’ve been paying attention… The music was distracting too,” he added as he took the pods off.

[bonniebukater]

Bonnie let out a screech as the skateboard and the hellion on it swiped close enough to her to make her life effectively flash before her eyes, clutching her wedding magazines and her planning binder closer to her chest as she looked at the younger man like she was ready to set fire to him. “What’s the matter with you, are you blind?!” she shouted at him, huffing as she checks over her dress. “I just got my nails done, and it’s not my intention for their debut to be at an open casket!”

Open - can be anywhere.

“Why are people just mean?”

[bonniebukater]

“Why you lettin’ people get t’you like that, sugar? My momma always taught me that the worst thing you can give someone is a second thought.”

[maisieduchanne]

“Sleeping? Pfft. Nah.  I was just, uh, distracted?”  Maisie lied.  She didn’t mean to doze off, but she was a little lacking in the sleep department with her whole situation with her parents.  “Gimme a hand up?”

@frostfordstart​

[bonniebukater]

Bonnie let out a heavy sigh and offered her hand to the girl to help her up. “You might wanna save the sleeping to your own private quarters, honey, people’ll start talkin’ if you aren’t careful.” In full honesty, she’d probably be one of those people.

“Your mom says that? I mean I think my mother just spends her days trying to figure out how to spend more of my father’s money than she did the day before,” she shrugs, talking honestly. The less said about her family, the better.

“I mean that’s a fair assessment. You’ve got to go out of town if you want any kind of culture.” Viv takes another sip from her glass, shrugging. “I work too much to have time to be bored, honestly. Probably more than Knox does, but don’t mention that to him.”

“Yeah, my momma says a lotta things. And even then, she has no problem swipin’ daddy’s credit card whenever she gets the chance. Sounds like your momma and mine will have a real hoot together when the events for the wedding really start t’kick in.”

“We’ll have to work on bringin’ some culture around here,” Bonnie muses; she has lots of plans for Frostford, ways she and Knox can simply make the place better. 

“That’s good for you Viv -- can I call you Viv? I’m gonna have to take a page from outta your book and get busy. Though I don’t know how I could possibly get more busy between wedding plannin’ and DAR meetings.”

“Well, what can I say? I love this town, and it loves me,” Brooke spoke, a bright, charming smile on her face.

She wasn’t really sure what the hell this girl’s problem was, coming into her town with backhanded comments. This was her town, and she wasn’t about to let some holier-than-thou princess think she was more important than she actually was.

But she finally put it together, when she spoke again. Of course. Knox’s latest fiancee, this one looking just about as crazy as he was.

Brooke didn’t know if the flashing of an engagement ring was supposed to ellicit some kind of envious response, but it definitely was not working. Why? Because she’d accepted a very similar looking ring from a man she had no intentions of ever marrying.

A chuckle escaped her lips, “Oh, so you’re Knox’s newest fiancee? Congratulations. I have a feeling that you’ll fit right in with that family of his.”

“Oh, I’m sure it does, honey,” she smiles, through it’s mostly through her teeth and doesn’t quite meet her eyes. 

This town probably loves anything wrapped in bacon and deep fried in grease, too. That doesn’t make it good. 

“Well, I plan on bein’ his last fiance,” Bonnie says coolly,  absently twirling a strand of perfectly blown-out hair between her fingers. 

“And I’m really lookin’ forward to gettin’ to know his whole little family. It’s the whole reason I’m here, really. Besides the wedding planning.”

“Unsavory? No, no, you got it all wrong. It’s beer. Well, technically ale, if you wanna get specific. Made in the finest state in the country, Colorado. Nothin’ like it, I’ll tell you. I’m not really picky about liquor, but I love a good Fat Tire. You gotta try it sometime. Bootlegger’s has it on tap.”

“Ain’t that a bold thing to say while you’re standin’ in the great state of Alabama,” Bonnie smiles, letting out a laugh and waving her hand. “I don’t do beer, honey, it makes me bloat. I’m a white whine kinda gal, all the way.”

“Mighty interesting event you got here, Bonnie,” Dakota said, turning his head to look at her, “I had no idea DAR was interested in becomin’ a bunch of cupids overnight. Y’all trying to run Tinder and them out of business or something?”

[bonniebukater]

“Well, now, I can’t take all the credit,” Bonnie says modestly with a wave of her hand. False. She would like nothing better than to take all of the credit. 

“Besides, isn’t a good old fashioned basket auction the original Tinder, anyway? And it’s all for a good cause.”

@persimmonkennedy​

“Okay, honey, so I’ve had a nice chat with your momma and I’ve decided to make you the center of my attention. It’s your lucky night. Now, tell me which fella you’ve had your eye on and I’ll have you engaged by the end of the year.”

[dcttiesue]

There was really no reason for Dottie Sue to stick around for the mixer after her date, however, she was itching to see if there were any basket dates who had returned together for drinks, as well as eyeing up all the people who considered themselves single - at least for the night. Throwing caution to the wind, Dottie Sue hopped up on the nearest stool, all too eager to read the ice-breaker question to whoever was sitting on the opposite side. “If you were to get a tattoo, or another, what would it say and what would the graphic be?” @frostfordstart​

[bonniebukater]

“Oh, honey, I’d never get a tattoo, it’d be like puttin’ a bumper sticker on a Bentley. And a dependin’ on where you get it, your skin could start saggin’ and you’d like like a mess the older you got. Plus, I can’t stand the sight of needles,” she adds, pressing her lips together primly. “Didn’t you have a date tonight? How did it go for you?”

“This is just plain sad,” Bonnie comments to Lyla over the top of her drink, shaking her head slightly as she takes a sip. She had to, generally, pace herself -- seeing and she and Lyla were on chaperone duty.

“People are either standing against a wall acting like they’ll shrivel up if someone so much as looks at ‘em or they’re practically humping each other’s legs. I’ve had to escort two pairs out already. Lord above.”

“Only about things we actually care about,” Lexa said in a sugary sweet tone that would have led you to think she’d just said something awfully nice if you weren’t really listening to the words she said. Lexa looked at the ring and her facial features never faltered, Her poker face was the best around. “Well good for you sugar, its nice to see some man had decided to keep ya. Mighty kind of him.” The smile on her face spread even more. “Oh my goodness Bonnie Bukater you are just sweet as sugar, that was such a nice thing of you to say. I mean how do you mess with a look that’s Grace Kelly timeless.” 

“Well, no use settlin’ for anythin’ but the best, huh?” Bonnie smiles, eyes wide and inspecting and seemingly only blinking once every minute. “I can’t tell you how good it is to know that you’ve found the one to spend your life with. And I saw your little shows, honey, and god bless it’ll happen for you someday, I just know it, and we’re all prayin’,” she says with seemed sincerity, reaching out to take Lexa’s hand and give it a squeeze. “Well, you might not want to set your sights on Lady Kelly was the pinnacle, Lexa. We all remember how she ended up, don’t we?”

kalcigh·:

“First, I think we should make sure none of the Sterling boys get dates. They don’t deserve it. So, throw out all their tickets and say literally no one was interested. Then, I think we need to set Owen and Lemon up. Mostly because I am interested in seeing some drama that isn’t my own. Oh! And if Ace has a basket, I call dibs. He will love me if it’s the last thing I do.” 

“Now, you’re gonna have to give me the lowdown on these Sterling boys. Every single one of them I’ve seen is a tall drink of water. And I know I’m engaged but, well, I’m not dead,” Bonnie lightly laughs, quirking her eyebrow at the last suggestion. “He’s that good lookin’ cop fella, isn’t he? Oh, sweetie, you shouldn’t get involved with that, isn’t he a little too old for you?”
