Outlandish?

It's beginning to look like a couple of women are going to be fighting over my little Zekie. Everything's about to explode with the murders and finale, and both Carli and Sheriff Eldora Parridge have a thing for you know who. One's got the badge but the other wants to get him the hell out of Dodge before the weight of the law crashes down on everyone...and she's got Roofies. If he won't leave on his own, she'll carry him off.

It's becoming more and more the reverse of most romance novels, where the heroine is swept away by a strong caring man who looks like...well, I'd say Fabio but I think a more current reference would be Chris Hemsworth in his Thor of the Golden Locks days. Nowadays, he's got short hair and just looks perky.

So I'm letting Zena doing the sweeping...

And flat out lying. She's not going to admit to Zeke that she killed his friends. She's going to deny it to her grave. It's what adults do...keep their secrets to themselves. Well, Carli's a grown-ass adult who just happens to look like Lucy Lawless.

I think they make a lovely pair...
