Chapter 15

Dana

I tried a sleazy rock bar and a big club where girls danced on platforms with no results. I tried to talk to all of the employees I could find to ask them if they knew anyone named Elijah, or had ever seen a guy that matched his description. Bouncers, servers, even the dancers all said no.

In my pregnant state, this task was not easy. I was tired, and just wanted to go to bed. It was also hard to look at all of the young people in sexy outfits drinking and having a good time. I felt bloated in my stretchy jeans, flowy top, and leather jacket.

I seriously considered going back to the hotel and trying again tomorrow, but I was short on time, and even with my father’s buyout money, I couldn’t afford to stay in a hotel for long.

Gathering up all of the energy I had left, I checked my list for the next spot on the list. Starlight Lounge was a smaller club, with an upscale vibe. I couldn’t imagine Elijah playing music or serving up drinks for rich kids, so I thought about moving on to the next bar on the list.

For the sake of closure, I reconsidered, and went to the Starlight Lounge. If I didn’t get any leads there, I would just go back to the hotel, and sleep all day. I should have given up a long time ago, but I couldn’t rest until every last name was crossed off the list.

The club was packed full of sweaty bodies jumping around to the deafening music. Colored lights moved in a dizzying array and fog wafted from the stage. I prepared myself to ask more questions to the employees, but first, I needed something to drink.

I felt lame ordering juice at a bar full of wasted people who were probably my age. This could be me, I thought, watching a girl in a short dress and flower crown kiss a tall boy on the lips.

I took a sip of the tart juice and looked out amongst the crowd. This was all too overwhelming.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a familiar shape. Broad shoulders, biceps that stretched out the shirt sleeves, and a slim waist. I felt like I knew that body, like I had it committed to my memory.

From the back, he almost looked like Elijah. However, this bartender had longer hair. An army man through and through, I couldn’t imagine Elijah changing his style.

The bartender came back to ask if I wanted another drink.

“Maybe in a minute,” I said politely. “By the way, does anyone named Elijah work here?”

“Hmm, the name doesn’t ring a bell,” he said.

I let out a long exhale. I knew it.

I twirled the ice in my glass with the straw and sucked the remaining sips of cranberry juice.

I was about to leave and go to bed when he turned the corner. He looked different, but it was unmistakably Elijah.

My mouth gaped open. I was completely speechless.
