Three Years Ago
Melody Gage checked her phone for the tenth time in five minutes.
Nothing.
Sighing, she reached for her pint glass and took a swig. It was warm
inside the bar, and she was still wearing her leather jacket, which she
couldn’t take off because there was a hole in her shirt, right at the seam
running across her shoulder blades.
Besides, taking off her jacket would imply she was staying more than
another few minutes—which she wasn’t.
She couldn’t believe she’d actually made an effort tonight. She’d worn
her favorite leather jacket, even though the weather was too warm for it. It
was the nicest thing she owned, despite the fact that it had come from a
thrift shop. She’d even exchanged her usual Doc Martens for a pair of cute
ballet flats. And for what? A no-show.
Melody felt someone jostle her arm as they slid onto the barstool beside
her. She looked up hopefully, but it wasn’t Victor.
The guy who wasn’t her date leaned toward her, grinning. “How you
doing tonight?”
He was young, college-age like her, and like a lot of the other patrons at
the Cask ’n Flagon, he was sporting a Red Sox cap. He was also wearing a
T-shirt for a fraternity “Pimps & Prostitutes” party, which earned him a few
demerits. He wasn’t bad looking, though. In fact, she might even be
tempted to call him attractive.
Too bad she was waiting for someone . . . who was fifteen minutes late.
Not exactly a promising start to a first date.
Melody offered her new seat mate a polite but guarded smile. “I’m doing
okay.”
“You’re really fine, you know that?” he said, leaning in closer.
Gross. She had always despised that word in that context. Fine. Had a
man ever described a woman as “fine” without sounding like a sleazebag?
Also, his breath smelled like garlic. No thank you.
“Thanks, but I’m waiting for someone.” She stared down at her phone
again. Still no text.
“You know, I’m not usually into chicks with short hair,” her companion
said, gesturing at her brunette pixie cut, “but I might be willing to make an
exception for you.”
Ugh. That was what she got for venturing outside her comfort zone. She
probably should have known tonight was going to be a bust when Victor
had a) picked a sports bar near Fenway for their date, and b) suggested they
meet instead of coming together.
She’d only agreed because she’d been desperate to break out of her
routine. Desperate to do something—anything—other than spend another
Saturday night studying in her dorm room or working in
the computer lab.
And look what it had gotten her.
“I bet you know you’re fine,” the wannabe pick-up artist said, undeterred
by Melody’s unwelcoming body language. “You probably have guys telling
you that all the time, right?”
WHERE ARE YOU??? Melody texted Victor, mashing her thumbs
against the screen of her phone.
She didn’t even like Victor all that much. They were chemistry lab
partners, but the only sparks between them were the ones they used to light
the Bunsen burner.
