Liss checked her mobile from under the bar as she wiped down the worn
wood. Still no message from her latest Tinder match, although there was a
breaking news notification about the Royal family. Liss swiped the
notification away without reading it. She just wanted a response to the
underwear picture it took all her courage to send. She shouldn’t have done
it, but she wanted to feel attractive and carefree and like her best friend,
Isla, who wouldn’t hesitate to send something like that.
“Have you heard from Hugo today? He’s checking in a lot,” Greg, the
pub’s regular, whose ear hair was longer than his eyelashes, said through a
yawn before supping the head of his pint. His dog, Joyce, was propped on
his knees, eyeballing Liss.
“Not yet,” Liss replied with a shrug. Hugo, the pub’s owner, used to be
happy with Liss running the place, but now, there were rumours that he was
selling the pub to a chain, which would leave Liss without a job.
“You could do better than this place, you know,” Greg added, tipping his
head in the direction of the two university students who were sucking face.
“You could run a bar where your boss doesn’t take credit for your ideas.”
“A smile from you is worth the stuff I have to put up with,” Liss said, her
gaze flicking to her phone, where another breaking news notification
flashed up. She swiped it away without reading it as Greg grunted. It was
probably about the royal wedding happening later in the year.
Steve, one of Liss’s closest friends and the pub’s deputy manager, was
making the most of the late morning lull, reading a newspaper while
occasionally glancing at Liss above it. “Liss won’t leave us. She always
says this place is her family.”
He had a point. It had been like her family since her mum died.
“We all know why you stay, Steve, even though you spend too much
time judging the people who drink here,” Greg grumbled as he fed Joyce
bits of sausage. “Especially when your middle-class parents with upperclass judgements visit.”
“I don’t know what you mean,” Steve retorted with a huff. But he did.
Liss and Isla had spoken to him about it before. He grumbled that he could
work in any city job.
Liss stared at her phone, willing the guy she’d sent an underwear pic to
respond as she rejoined the conversation. “Why do you stay he—”
“No phones while working,” Steve mumbled, cutting off Liss.
Liss dropped her grubby cloth onto the bar and glared. “I’m well aware.
I was the one who came up with the rule.”
“Who are you waiting to hear from?” Steve replied, dropping the paper
and collecting glasses.
The one thing Liss refused to talk to Steve about was her dating life or,
rather, lack thereof. He always got weird about it but never explained why.
And besides, it was humiliating telling anyone that she’d messaged a sexy
picture to a man she’d not yet met, and he hadn’t replied. She tucked her
phone in her pocket. “Oh, it’s nothing—”
