to Nikki. “Stay here.
I’ll go get us drinks.” The bar

Rick Denio has closed
in. But star-striking Nikki

I circle the table, sipping my drink,
liking the whiskey burn. Rick is all

“Hey, Rick. Putting the moves
on my girl?” I hand Nik her wine.
Rick is in the game. Your girl?
Didn’t know you had such good taste.
“There’s a lot you don’t know
about me. Uh, where’s your wife
tonight?” The station buzz is she
ran off. With another woman.
Rick’s face flames, but he remains
calm. She had another party.
I can’t help but smile at the opening
he just gave me. “A girl party, huh?”
