“Of all the days for me to work Gabe’s shift it had to be tonight,” Hayden said as she finished mixing up a cosmopolitan.

“You seem to be holding up well,” Kate said.

“It’s just an act,” Hayden said, turning to serve a customer her drink.

“You could have fooled me.”

Hayden and Kate had been busy the entire night. The bar was closing soon so both women could finally take a breather.

“That’s the last drink of the night,” Hayden said. “I can truthfully say I have never been happier in my life.”

“Really?” Kate asked with a suggestive smile. “Never?”

Hayden turned to look at Kate. Hayden’s heart skipped a beat with the way Kate was looking at her. The way Kate looked at her made Hayden want her even more. If it weren’t for the fact that there were still customers in the bar, she’d kiss her right now.

“Okay, maybe not never.”

“I know what you mean though. This night has been killer.”

“Yeah, I totally see what my dad was talking about when he said that business has gotten better. It was never this busy when I worked here before.”

“How long ago was that?”

“Mainly before I went away to college. Then during my summers off.”

Even though Hayden hadn’t officially worked in the bar until she was eighteen, she still grew up watching her dad run the place. She could run the bar with her eyes closed. It just came naturally to her.

“I have to say, I was impressed,” Kate said.

“Oh come on, I don’t have anything on you. You were impressive.”

“No, I’m serious. You really have a way with the customers. They love you.”

“That’s only because a lot of them have known me since before I was even born,” Hayden pointed out.

“There is that,” Kate agreed.

“I practically grew up in this bar, Kate. I watched my dad all of my life. It’s just second nature now.”

“Is that why you want to go to New York so badly?” Kate asked.

“That’s not the only reason. But, yeah that’s part of it. It is nice doing something different from what I know.”

“That makes sense. You like being challenged. Working here wouldn’t be much of a challenge for you.”

“Exactly,” Hayden smiled.

Kate just seemed to get everything Hayden thought and felt. It had been a while since she felt as understood as Kate made her feel. Even with Joslyn, she never felt this understood. If anything she usually felt more judged.

A few minutes later the bar had cleared out and Kate locked the front door. She turned back to Hayden and breathed a sigh of relief.

“Long day?” Hayden smiled, wiping down the bar.

“Hey, I was here longer than you remember? And I had to deal with Chester before you got here so I’ve had a pretty long day.”

“Chester’s not so bad,” Hayden said nonchalantly.

“Umm, are you kidding? He’s the worse kind of guy. Guys like him make me glad I was born a lesbian. He’s a terrible flirter and he stares at my boobs.”

“Well, in all fairness I stare at your boobs too.
