Wes can’t get the song out of his head. It plays on a loop, over
and over, until he finds himself humming it out loud. So
addictive, and he doesn’t have a clue who sings it.
The music doesn’t stop until an alert pops up on his phone. His famousquotes app sends daily words of wisdom.
Love is a serious mental disease.
—Plato
Wes swipes it away. Love is the last thing on his mind, especially today.
The only thing that matters is time.
His calendar is a wall of meetings, back-to-back-to-back, without a
single break. Wes has to leave the office by five thirty, drive home, shower,
shave, dress, and get back out of the house by six forty-five. Assuming he
wants to be on time for his date. Which he does.
They met at a bar called Liver. Her name is Annabeth, and she had been
very specific about that.
“Not Anna, and not Beth,” she had said. “I don’t answer to either of
those. It’s Annabeth.” He said, “I got it,” and she said, “Are you sure?
Because you wouldn’t believe how many people forget.” And right then, he
almost blew it, because he wanted to say, “Jesus Christ, what kind of idiots
do you date?” But he stopped himself. Wes told her, “I promise. I got it.”
Finally, they were able to move on.
The conversation improved after that. Her name had been the only
problem. Otherwise, she was smart and interesting and fun to be with.
Pretty, too. Not stunning, not the girl every guy wanted, and that was a good
thing. Gorgeous girls are always—always—high-maintenance, and who the
hell has that kind of time.
Annabeth is pretty in the wholesome way, the kind of girl who can dress
up and be sexy if she wants but doesn’t do it all the time. Dark hair, big
eyes, and real curves. Not the implanted or injected kind. Good voice, too.
A little husky, not too nasal or annoying.
In other words, he doesn’t want to be late for Annabeth. And it has
nothing to do with love.
But work has other ideas.
His three o’clock meeting runs over by fifteen minutes, making him late
for the three thirty call. That pushes back his four thirty, which means he is
screwed. Almost. An imaginary “call from a client” comes in handy,
because no one gets mad when you have to leave a meeting to talk with
someone who pays the bills.
On the way back to his office, Wes stops in the break room to get an
energy bar from the vending machine and check the time. Twenty minutes
to go. Enough time to send a few emails and stay on schedule.
Bianca waves to him when he gets to his office. Wes holds up his phone
and points at it, indicating that he is busy. Still pretending to be on the line
with his pretend client.
