[Ford]
I wake with a raging hard-on in an empty bed, although I’m certain I went
to sleep with someone beside me last night.
While my head thumps to a wicked beat, I roll it on the hotel pillow.
The space beside me is rumpled. The sheet tossed back. The extra pillow
creased. Someone else was definitely in my bed. But who?
Candy? Cassidy? Something along those lines.
Lifting my hand to squeeze my forehead takes effort. Thinking is more
difficult than it should be this late in the morning.
Then again, the purpose of last night was to not think. To shut down
my recall of what I’d seen yesterday afternoon, moments before I was
scheduled to leave my home in Chicago for my brother’s wedding.
Closing my eyes, I press my finger and thumb into my lids as if I’m
able to scrub from my vision what now resides in my mind.
Nope. Not going to go there yet.
Instead, I’m going to lay here and try to pull up an image of the
woman I’d met last night. The one singing to herself in a corner of Randy’s
Bar, hosting a private concert for one. She peered at me under half-lidded
eyes, the brim of her cowboy hat working as a shield for her face and
covering her hair.
I didn’t need to fully see her. I didn’t have to remember her. There was
just something about her. A recognizable sadness resonated around her.
I’d had a disguise of my own last night. A baseball cap pulled low. My
head down; my collar up. I could have gone to Milton’s Roadhouse in the
center of Sterling Falls, but I’d have been recognized by everyone in this
town. My hometown.
Randy’s was the place a man went when he wanted to get lost and
didn’t want to be found.
For once, I didn’t want to be noticed.
Later tonight at my brother’s wedding rehearsal dinner, I’m not going
to have a choice. My brothers will give me that look. The one that’s a lethal
combination of sympathy and I told you so. Vale, my sister, will be the one
filled with concern. I love my family but there’s a reason I stay away from
them. There’s also a reason I need them now more than ever.
Rolling to my side, I slide my hand over the cool, vacant hotel sheet
beside me.
Did we fuck?
What I do vaguely remember is she matched me shot for shot last
night. In a game of who can drink the most tequila, she won. And I hated
losing.
Every inch of me demands I be a winner.
In my profession.
