AURORA
The alcohol has made me silly. I don’t enjoy rowdy clubs, and I don’t
like big crowds. The last time I was properly drunk, I was nineteen
and under the supervision of one of my cousins. It was the after-party
of a funeral, and I had every right to be blinded by liquor.
Who has an after-party for a funeral?
My mother, that’s who.
Anyway, it’s different now. I’m twenty-three. I’m celebrating the
successful launch of my book, which took off way faster and better than I
ever could have anticipated. Like, it blew up. And although it came out four
months ago, it’s still selling extremely well.
The book is everywhere, and yet, I remain relatively unknown.
Pictures of me are scarce. I haven’t posted any on my author accounts
anyway, and I’ve never done a signing or met a reader. I think I prefer that
to the fame—or infamy—that success might bring. You know, celebrities.
“Cheers.” Beth pushes another shot in my hand and taps hers against it.
“To new starts.”
Just because I coast by unknown doesn’t mean my best friend will let
me stay in the shadows. And tonight is worth celebrating, because we’re
finally living in the same city since we left our hometown for college.
We’re at a club of her choosing, just outside the VIP section. We’ve got
stools at the bar in front of rows of booths, and the atmosphere is
decidedly… rich. The men wear starched white dress shirts with the sleeves
rolled to their elbows, ties forgotten, suit jackets shed, and hair slightly,
purposefully disheveled.
It’s an aesthetic that Beth seems very much into.
“Cheers,” I reply, happy and warm. I toss back the shot, which tastes
more like water than anything else, and close my eyes for a moment. Then
they pop open at another urge. “I need to pee.”
“Toilets are over there.” Her gesture is vague, in the direction of the far
back corner.
There’s a guy on her other side who’s been glancing at her since she
joined me. She pivots slightly toward him, smiling, and immediately he
dives into conversation.
Beth has been my best friend since ninth grade. We survived going to
different colleges in different states, then another two years while Beth got
her master’s degree. She moved out to Denver four months ago. And now
I’ve joined her.
New York was depressing. Cloying. I used to love the city, but instead
of finding inspiration, I just found it small.
People think New York City is this huge place until they live there for a
few years.
I slip off the stool. My legs are a little unsteady, and the floor tilts.
Okay, maybe I’ve had too much to drink.
I head the way Beth pointed, skirting the VIP section and going down a
long, dimly lit hallway. None of the doors are marked, but two of the three
are locked.
