Chapter 7

As the sun set on Bon Temps, the town was buzzing with anticipation over the results of the mayoral election. Lana Del Rey, the incumbent, had been facing off against her opponent, an up-and-coming lawyer named Lucas. Both had strong support in the town, and it was anyone's guess who would come out on top. Meanwhile, Tamara was still seething with anger over Terri Joe's betrayal. She felt as though her own daughter had thrown her to the wolves, and her resentment was growing by the day. But as she sat in her living room, nursing a glass of whiskey and seething in anger, a knock came at her door. It was Cleetus, looking uncharacteristically somber. He told Tamara about his new vampire friends, who had welcomed him with open arms and invited him to live with them. Tamara was horrified, but Cleetus insisted that he was finally living his truth. As he left, Tamara sank deeper into her chair, the weight of her problems crushing her. Later that night she got dressed for bible study and packed more than just a bible in her arsenal in case any of the ladies decided to bring up her martial issues. Elsewhere in Bon Temps, Tianna was on a mission to find out more about her father who disappeared when she was 14.
