Greyson Cartwright, aka a guy who should’ve picked a different bar…
I ’ nice if today could’ve told me it didn’t intend to go as
planned.
Rude, today. Very rude.
But not as rude as the woman currently sitting next to me.
Correction.
Pretending to sit next to me while actually attempting to crawl into my
lap and take my kombucha.
“Ooh, is that the lime mojito flavor?” she asks, poking at a glass in my
sample flight. The outdoor beach bar is lit mostly with tiki torches and the
music is drowning out the sound of the ocean waves. But it’s not drowning
out the woman. “They ran out before I got any. Is it good?”
Should’ve picked a different seat.
In a different bar.
Considering how much of a failure every bit of today has been, I didn’t

lime mojito kombucha?” The woman leans even closer, her hair brushing
my arm.
I landed in Hawaii four hours late because of a maintenance issue with
the plane. Then I was assigned a rental car with a flat tire and waited an
extra hour before the company could find another car. And once I arrived at
the resort where I was supposed to attend—okay, wreck—a wedding,
everything was crickets.
The whole reason I flew across the Pacific was canceled. No destination
wedding. No reception. No chance to watch Chandler Sullivan’s face when
I announced to his family, friends, and new bride that he was a failure who
had to sell his family’s Colorado mountain café to me because of online
gambling problems.
A jilting, apparently. At a resort with so few staff, I gave up on finding
someone to check me in and found a different hotel a few miles up the road.
And while Chandler Sullivan deserves every shit thing that’s ever
