When Hazel zipped into the parking lot of the Living Room Café, the
old clunker with its faded indie-rock bumper stickers and duct-taped
license plate frame wasn’t there. Which meant, more importantly, the owner
of the car wasn’t there. A Christmas miracle. With only two hours to finish
and submit the final paper of her first semester of graduate school, the last
thing Hazel needed standing—or sitting—in her way was Ash Campbell.
She’d hustled to the café directly from proctoring her advisor’s Intro to
Psychology final, her last chore as Dr. Sheffield’s favorite errand girl.
Hustled even though she knew that more than likely Ash had already
swooped in and taken her study spot. He had an infuriatingly reliable 5:05
arrival time. But she’d hoped anyway. She needed this.
And, damn it, by sheer willpower and a few questionable rolling stops
(and apparently some favor from the cosmos because her clock now read
5:07), she’d beat him here. Finally, a small mercy. Hazel marched into the
café, head held high, already pulling her laptop from her messenger bag and
angling for the back corner.
Except—
She checked out the front window again. No, his car still wasn’t in the
lot. And yet, there he sat across the café in her chair, monopolizing the only
working outlet in the place. Ash’s eyes, dark as black coffee, lifted to hers
just as a chilly December gust blew the door shut and knocked her forward.
She dropped her laptop back into her bag.
“You’re here,” she accused.
“Rough day?” He gestured vaguely at her with his coffee mug before
grinning into a sip.
Yeah, she was wearing an ugly plaid shirt from the back of her closet
because she hadn’t done laundry in two weeks, her hair was falling from the
hasty bun she’d jammed a pencil through when her hair tie broke, and she
was practically vibrating from the three coffees she’d already downed this
afternoon. So what?
“You missed a button,” he said.
She refused to give him the satisfaction of checking her shirt. “I have to
finish a paper.”
Ash leaned back into the velvety green wingback chair, one ankle
propped over the other leg in indulgent leisure. It was a comfortable chair,
big enough to sit cross-legged while she worked. But fancy, too. A seat of
power, as though every word Hazel wrote while sitting in it deserved to be
leather-bound and embossed. If ever she needed that power, she needed it
right now.
He looked pointedly at all the unoccupied seats between them, but she
didn’t follow his gaze. None of the other tables had outlets. None of the
other chairs had the green one’s magic. They’d had this argument a hundred
times. With a huff, she crossed the threshold to the front counter.
“Isn’t the semester over?” Ash asked across the café.
“Not for two more hours.”
