“What’re you doing?” He’s leaned onto the bar, staring at the person beside them. At some point in the night, Ian found himself drinking. Talked into it, even, the motion supported by his own fucking employee. And now, here he is. A slurring mess of words with glassy eyes, talking to someone that appears to be defying the space/time continuum because there is definitely maybe two of them. “What’s in your mouth? Do you have something in your mouth?”
It felt as though Sidney hadn’t been on the other side of the bar for a while, since coming to town, it was like she’d been working most of the time. It kept her busy, but she was eager to explore the island and get to know its residents. Back home in New York, she had a vibrant social calendar, and considering her late husband preferred her in the home rather than the office, she didn’t have to work. Even though, for all those years, she was itching to break free from the confines of her Manhattan brownstone.
Hitting the town for the first time in two months, it was quite the thrill. The blonde was more than a few drinks in, and to anyone who wasn’t already plastered, it was blatantly obvious. She was in her own little world until she took notice of the person next to her. “What? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” She replied, shaking her head, too inebriated to actually know what was going on, and by the looks of it, the stranger was the same. “I have nothing in my mouth. Except my tongue... and teeth... and everything else. What’s in your mouth?”

sidney graham lived a privileged life. growing up in greenwich, connecticut, just over an hour away from new york city and named one of america’s richest cities, she was brought up with a silver spoon in her mouth, to say the least, and her father created a monster from the moment he began spoiling her. from then on, the young blonde had him wrapped around her little finger (and still does to this day).
from an early age, sidney had big aspirations. everybody who knew her knew she was going to do big things one day, and sid believed that too. she was a wonderful student, got top grades, was captain of the debate team and crowned prom queen. she was a shoo-in to get into her first choice college... until she met leo jenkins. they fell in love quickly, and it was the first time sidney was truly head over heels for someone. two years after graduation, they tied the knot. they had their whole lives ahead of them, but leo began showing signs of being a control freak. sidney wanted to go to law school (she delayed going to college fresh out of high school to travel), but he believed his wife’s duty was to stay home and cater to her man. it was these ancient stereotypes that got under sid’s skin, but she was willing to do anything for him.
they made a life together in new york city, leo was a journalist and had a secure position at one of the country’s biggest publications. meanwhile, sidney felt trapped. she tried to enjoy the life of a kept woman, but it wasn’t for her. still, she put up with it and it worked for at least six years. they had got into a routine, sidney had a group of female friends she brunched with multiple times a week, and different activities to keep herself busy, but deep down, she was resenting her husband more and more. it began to make her seethe. she would see all of the working women in city and envy them, that’s what she was supposed to do, but he kept her from it to appease to his outdated ideals. in all honesty, she began to hate him.
to make things worse, sid uncovered a three year affair leo had been having with a co-worker. she was younger, bubblier, more adventurous and pretty much the epitome of a midlife crisis. that’s what pushed sidney into a rage. how dare he? he stopped her from making something of herself, she cooked, cleaned, and gave that man everything he ever wanted, yet he still cheated?!?! she was beyond angry at that point. he really expected her to love him unconditionally, and that was something she couldn’t do. every nasty little trait she’d discovered about him over the years made he realise she truly didn’t know him the way she thought she did.
he had to be dealt with. he didn’t deserve anything good from her. she was going to teach him a lesson. it took over a year of rigorous planning and research, but sidney pulled off the perfect crime. she staged her husband’s death. it was a clean kill, and every piece of incriminating evidence was destroyed. his death was ruled an accident, and gave the blonde a chance to play the grieving widow for over a year before moving from nyc to an island off the coast of miami, under the guise of starting ‘fresh’.
she’s been in town for three months and took the first job that came her way, bartending at off the hook. it wasn’t ideal, but it was all she was qualified for. plus, her intoxicating charm was a bonus when it came to winning over customers and keep the coming back.
her sob story in town is that she’s a widow (technically true) who lost her darling husband in an accident and struggles with the loss. she plays the role perfectly, and thrives on the attention it brings her. she seems harmless to strangers, but once you get to know her, you’ll come to discover her wicked ways.
