Abby
When I finally make it to the restaurant, I’m only ten minutes late. Three of
my friends don’t even blink as I slide into the last empty seat, panting
slightly, but Zoey gives me the patented Abramson death glare. My best
friend and her twin brother, Zane, probably came out of the womb throwing
this look at the nurses in the hospital.
I’ve learned to ignore it, but Zoey used to put the fear into me when we
met our freshman year of college. The few times I’ve seen Zane do it, my
body has an entirely different reaction. One I would never admit to Zoey,
what with the whole twin thing and all.
I’m less bothered by her dirty look than the fact that my friends have
decimated the contents of the bread basket. There’s one lone breadstick,
which I wave. “Hey, ladies! Sorry I’m late. Did I miss anything? Besides the
bread, obviously.”
And the butter. The little silver butter dish has been totally cleaned out
too, I realize as Sam, Harper, and Delilah say their hellos. The waitress stops
by and I scramble to choose a sandwich with ingredients I can recognize and
pronounce.
“Could I also get a coffee?” I ask, handing over my menu. “And more
breadsticks and butter?”
“You wouldn’t need to ask for more butter if you’d been on time.” Zoey
raises one perfectly manicured blonde eyebrow.
“Save your speech, Mom. I got caught up at work. Well. My
extracurricular work.”
“Lateness forgiven. Oh! That reminds me. I’ve got a potential job for you.
I’ll tell you after lunch,” Zoey says.
For the past six months I’ve been trying to build up a client base so I can
quit my day job. I want to be a systems analyst or working in cyber-security,
but I’m stuck doing basic IT work in a soul-sucking office. Tech geeks like
me are almost as common in Austin as singers trying to catch a big break.
There are lots of jobs, but even more people trying to fill them.
Today I was helping my brother, Jason, who founded a company that has
been massively successful designing video games. Every time I talk to him,
he offers me a full-time job. One that would be a dream compared to my
current situation. So tempting.
But I was never into gaming the way Jason always has been. Sure, it
would beat this stupid IT position, but I’d have to move back to Katy, just
outside of Houston, because Jason wants me on site. As much as I miss my
parents and love Jason, Jessa, and my nephews, no way am I leaving Austin
unless I’m being dragged.
Sam lightly taps on her water glass to get our attention. When we are
finally quiet, she clears her throat, then smiles in a way that makes me
nervous. “The reason I called you all here today—”
A collective groan rises from the table, drowning Sam out. We all know
what a Sam lunch means. Usually something to do with her alter ego, Dr.
Love, needing us to do her a favor.
Zoey pokes me in the shoulder. “Abby, I thought you planned this
lunch!”
