The truth that night was I secretly wished Seb would show up to buy me a drink.
And more…
“Tell me about this day of yours,” Seb said, breaking up the memory.
“Oh. Nothing. Just… jitters.”
“Those tears weren’t jitters.”
I sighed. “You don’t have to do this. Okay? I mean, I’m not looking to invade your life. If you have things to do…”
“I’m right where I want to be, April,” he said.
His voice bold and commanding.
It sent shivers everywhere inside me.
“Talk to me,” he said. “Talk it out. Get it off your chest.”
I looked down at my chest.
The thought of Seb… looking… my chest… or talking about my chest…
I took another drink. A bigger gulp.
I needed something stronger than a draft beer.
“This gig is a tough one,” I said. “Just… tough.”
“Why is it tough?”
“Do you really care? Or are you trying to be nice?”
“You were crying. I want to know why.”
“You’re going to kick someone’s ass for me?”
“That’s right,” he said.
“I promise, nobody did anything to make me cry,” I said. “It was just a rough day. This person has money. They have ideas. And they seem to enjoy flip-flopping on their ideas. I get why nobody wanted this one. It’s going to be tough. But I can pull it off. And when I do…”
I wiggled my eyebrows.
“They’re going to name the company after you?” Seb asked.
“No, Seb. I’ll just get the recognition I deserve.”
Bailey the bartender showed up again.
“Sorry to bother you,” she said. “This is for you.”
She put a shot glass down in front of me.
“I didn’t order that,” I said.
“Neither did I,” Seb said.
“Someone did,” Bailey the bartender said. “Corner of the bar. Behind me.”
