“Dearborn Clover, Trace speaking,” I said, answering the phone as I
logged in to the computer. I wasn’t a fan of our new payment
system; it was a whole fucking process just to open the register.
“Yeah, hi, I was wondering if you’re showing the home game tonight,”
a man said.
What the fuck was it with people? Did they call a clothing store and ask
if they sold shirts? Huh? Christ. This was a sports bar smack-dab in the
middle of Chicago—yeah, we were showing the home game. Didn’t matter
the sport either; the answer was yes.
“Absolutely,” I replied.
“Great, thanks.” The guy hung up, and I sighed impatiently and finally
got into our system. We were good to go for a new day. Two big games. We
were bound to be busy tonight. Most of the tables were booked from seven.
Adam showed up a few minutes later, and I waited to see Bella running
after…
“Where’s my girl?” I asked. I had another week to make her OD on
Chicago before they returned to California.
Adam rolled his eyes and tore off his beanie and gloves. “Ev casually
threw out that he was spending the day watching old movies, so she stayed
with him. I swear she loves him more than she loves me sometimes.”
I chuckled and did a final wipe-down of the bar. He could complain, but
he loved it. He’d been with his architect hubby a few years now, going back
and forth between Berkeley and Chicago, and when I heard Bella had begun
calling Ev Dad and saying how much she loved California, I knew I’d lost
her. She’d started school there last fall.
“How’s the new kid workin’ out?” Adam asked.
I pointed to the station where we kept cocktail garnishes. “He thought it
was a good idea to cut up fruit right here.” Hence why I’d needed to wipe
down the bar before we’d even opened. I’d come downstairs to find random
lime wedges and cherries all over the counter. “He’s Petey’s problem now.”
I’d sent him back to the kitchen.
“Look at you, being all boss-like.” Adam smirked and sat down on a
stool. “Maybe you’ll survive without me.”
Yeah, maybe. Still felt weird, though. Adam and I were supposed to be
the “kids” of the place. I ran all over, doing what was necessary. Adam had
been a bartender here for six or seven years.
Then, all of a sudden, my folks
decided to retire and move to Florida. They’d already been snowbirds for a
decade or so, leaving me in charge over the winter. Which I’d been happy
with. I was only thirty-two, so I had been in no rush to shoulder more
responsibility.
Now the whole fucking place was mine.
