Chapter 7
Story time, it turned out, was just that - a time to recount to
the whole group what had happened that morning. The whole Crew,
which numbered eighteen people, crowded into the living room,
occupying every empty bit of couch and floor space. Paul somehow
ended up with Bee on his lap, which, while not doing anything to
relieve the heat of the crowded, smoke-filled room, had a certain
pleasantness to it. She held a pot laden pipe to his lips for him
to take hits off each time it passed around the circle. Paul was no
connoisseur, but he'd seldom had pot go straight to his head as
quickly as this did.
Chloe presided over events as the master of ceremonies, telling
the story with some incredibly funny (if inaccurate) impersonations
of Greg and the rest of Paul's partners.
