Stag
Misty is Leonie’s friend who drives with her to Parchman to pick up Michael. The two women use drugs together, and seem bound mostly by their addiction, though Leonie thinks of Misty as both her “best friend” and her “only friend.” Misty is white, and Leonie sometimes resents how much more easily Misty can move through the world because of this, but the two women also bond over their respective interracial relationships, since Misty’s boyfriend Bishop is black.

Chapter 4: Leonie
Quotes
How you think I paid for all my trips up to Bishop? From tips? She shook her head and snorted. You better take advantage.
I hear them four words over and over again when we get in the car and I watch Misty put the package in the pocket under the floorboards. You better take advantage. She said them words as though decisions have no consequences, when, of course, it's been easier for her. The way she said it, take advantage, made me want to slap her. Her freckles, her thin pink lips, her blond hair, the stubborn milkiness of her skin; how easy had it been for her, her whole life, to make the world a friend to her?
