TORY
“Sorry if I’m off today. This is all so surreal.”
Ty leans on the counter, his eyes heavy with concern.
“Please, who can blame you? One second you’re mourning at
a funeral, the next you’re playing nurse to a goldendoodle
with fleas. If you ask me, you’ve definitely earned the right
to tell the world to fuck off. Maybe you should take the day
off. I told you I’d hold down the fort.”
“I appreciate it, but honestly being here is therapeutic.”
In the dim light of the cold afternoon, Paws and Play daycare
feels more like a refuge than a business.
Ned was only thirty when a heart attack took him out of
nowhere—no warning signs, no health issues, nothing. But
his sketchy ties to the Russian mafia and his wild stunts put
him in the line of fire. Honestly, given all the shady stuff he
was mixed up in, I can’t help but wonder if there’s more to
the story.
Ty inches closer, his voice soft. “How are you really coping?”
I let out a deep sigh, feeling the weight of his question.
“It’s like a strange dream. I mean shouldn’t I be a frantic
mess after the death of my boyfriend?”
Ty gives a soft chuckle. “With all due respect to the departed,
Ned hardly merited the title of ‘boyfriend.’ You know how I
felt about him—always self-centered, always looking out for
himself. At least now you don’t have to stress about the
inevitable breakup that was coming.”
“Maybe you could give me a little more time to grieve before
you lay out such truths?” I say, half jokingly.
“I could,
” Ty replies,
“but I’d rather celebrate your funeral
chic,
” his eyes gleaming as he surveys my outfit. “You
transition from graveside to work, still outshining everyone
in Wicker Park—it’s almost criminal.”
A genuine smile breaks across my face as I glance down at
my funeral attire, hastily covered by my work apron. The
absurdity of it all isn’t lost on me.
At first, Ned was everything you could wish for in a partner
—charming, thoughtful, seemingly perfect. But as our
relationship progressed, a different picture emerged. The
charm gave way to deceit, the thoughtfulness to
manipulation and the need to control all aspects of my life. I
always felt like he was hiding things from me but I could
never get him to open up to me.
Finally, I resolved to break things off with Ned.
But then fate intervened.
Now he’s gone.
I begin, filling a bowl for an energetic beagle named Benny.
“I reviewed last month’s accounts, and for once, we’re not
submerged in losses.”
“From red to black? That’s progress! Next stop, the land of
green pastures!” Ty chimes in with a grin.
