Lila had done her stocktake and opened up the bar. She had been open for a few hours now, and she had been on tenterhooks the whole time, sure Clay or Brady, or worse, both of them together, would turn up at the bar. When they hadn’t, she had finally started to relax. She was starting to think Jasper had come through and made them leave her alone.

She smiled to herself when she thought of Jasper and her mind automatically went back to last night and that morning. She never would have imagined that the worst moment of her life had led her directly to the best moments. And she still couldn’t believe that a guy like Jasper not only found her attractive, but seemed to be as smitten with her as she was with him.

She debated texting him, but she didn’t want to seem like she was too eager. She knew they had a connection, but if she came on too strong, he might start to think she was too clingy to be in a real relationship with. A real relationship, she thought to herself. Wow. She felt butterflies in her tummy and she couldn’t wipe the smile off her face.

A few of the regulars even commented on how happy she looked. She kept quiet about the reason, just agreeing that she did feel pretty damned good today. Even when Jasper texted her to say something had come up and he would be running a bit later than he’d hoped and asked to meet her at the restaurant rather than pick her up, it didn’t ruin her mood. She texted him back saying it wasn’t a problem, and it wasn’t. She was just glad to hear from him.

About an hour before her shift was due to end, the door to the bar opened and Hayley walked in. Lila smiled at her, a little surprised to see her in the bar at this early hour.

“What can I get you?” she asked.

“Oh, just a diet Coke for me, please,” Hayley said, sitting on a bar stool.

Lila turned and grabbed a bottle from the fridge and opened it. She put it on the counter and gave Hayley a glass, waving away the offered bill.

“It’s on the house,” she said.

“Oh, thanks,” Hayley said. She poured the diet Coke from bottle into the glass and raised it. “Cheers.”

“So, what brings you here so early?” Lila asked. “I’d say rough day, but the soda suggests otherwise.”

“I just came to ask if anything weird happened when you left the gym last night,” Hayley said.

“Weird how?” Lila asked with a raised eyebrow.

Did Hayley know something?

“It’s probably nothing,” Hayley said. “But when I got home last night, the little one wasn’t sick. And the babysitter knew nothing about a phone call. I can’t decide if it was a wrong number and just a coincidence that the voice on the phone sounded like my babysitter and that they also managed to call someone in the same situation as me,
