LOGAN
I LOVE A GOOD PARTY. Drinks, food, music, friends—what’s not to
love? Mars Fitness’s New Year’s Eve party is always one of the best of the
year, and it’s totally living up to expectations. The drinks are top shelf, and
the food is delicious. The live DJ is bringing down the house, and all my
best friends are here. I have no one to blame for my mopey mood except
me.
Well, me and my boyfriend, Jay. Who is not here. Even though he said
he would be.
I down the last of my kiwi martini and wave to the bartender for
another. As I’m leaning against the bar, two of my friends and co-workers
come up looking for their own refills.
“There you are!” Sawyer claps me on the back. He’s the front desk
manager at Mars Fitness, the gym where I work as a juice bar barista. “You
disappeared on us!”
“Needed another drink,” I say. This is my third… or maybe fourth? I’ve
lost track.
Sawyer exchanges a not-very-subtle glance with Everest, one of Mars’s
personal trainers. I know what they’re thinking: does Jay even exist? This
isn’t the first time I’ve planned on introducing them to Jay, only to have
him bail on me at the last minute. They’re constantly joking that I’ve made
him up, but there’s no way my imagination can dream up someone like Jay.
It’s only been six months since we started seeing each other, but it feels
like I’ve known him forever. He’s kind. He’s smart. He’s funny. He’s
strong. And he’s hot. He’s so very, very hot.
“Where did you say your boyfriend is?” Everest asks. He tries for a
casual vibe, but I hear the skepticism in his voice.
“He had to go on a business trip,” I answer, thanking the bartender when
he sets down a fresh martini in front of me. “He said it was an emergency.”
Sawyer looks dubious. “How do you have a business emergency on
New Year’s Eve?”
I shrug nonchalantly even though I’ve been asking myself the same
thing all week. He’s been gone since before Christmas and other than a few
text messages, I haven’t heard from him. I don’t know where he’s gone or
when he’ll be back. “He has an important job.”
“Which is… what?” Everest nods at the bartender who hands him two
beers, one for him and the other for Sawyer.
“He’s an analyst,” I say, poking at the slice of kiwi in my glass with a
toothpick.
“An analyst for what?” Everest prods.
I shrug again. “Something to do with business, I think. He tried to
explain it, but I didn’t understand.”
“Where does he work?” Sawyer asks.
“Manhattan.” Duh. Obviously.
Everest snickers. “What’s the name of his company?”
I open my mouth to answer, then snap it shut again when I realize I
don’t know what his company’s called. He’s mentioned it before, I’m sure
of it. I have a distinct memory of us sitting on the couch with glasses of
wine while talking about our jobs. I must’ve forgotten. “I don’t remember.”
