Chapter 6 That Makes You A Queen. “At some point you just have to embrace the crazy.” ~Lola The woman still seemed amused by them. Lola noticed her eyes were sparkling a little, but they were no longer red. She took a deep breath and gathered all of her pretend bravery, which was really just the compulsive curiosity that had plagued her all her life. “There’ve been some strange guys coming into where we work—” “No Name Pizzeria,” Katy tossed out. “You should come by. We’ll hook you up with a free pie. We might even throw in dessert if you bring along a mini-gong. Lola makes a great peanut butter and chocolate chip pizza.” The woman nodded, but her eyes stayed on Lola. “I’ve heard of the place. I’m sure I have a mini-gong somewhere in all of my centuries of collecting.” “Centuries.”
