Da Friday Nite Party by GC Smith

The Friday night party at Dupree’s is a classic Southern affair, with ice-cold drinks, coon stew, and Cajun music filling the air. Friends gather, sharing laughter, boudin, and dirty rice, while the hounds feast on leftovers. It’s a near-perfect night--until a well-meaning bookworm brings a paperback of 'How The Irish Saved Civilization', setting off a wave of teasing and jokes about trying to impress the local librarian.

The real stir begins when the redheaded librarian, Coleen Thibodaux, shows up. Her dancing sparks whispers and jealousy among the town’s women, and soon tempers flare. When her date, a big guy who’s getting cozy with the locals, laughs off her frustration, Coleen finds herself alone by the bayou. That’s when the bookworm steps in, offering a kind word and a ride back to Plaquemines.

As the night unfolds, a surprising connection forms, and by morning, a quiet resolve settles in: sometimes, breaking away from the crowd leads to something real. In the end, a little teasing is a small price to pay for a chance at a fresh start. Da Friday Nite Party is a humorous and heartfelt story of unexpected romance, community, and the charm of finding love in the most unlikely of places.
