After that, we didn’t see each other for days. I did my regular shifts at Neptune’s but whenever Glory MC rolled in, Hastie was never with them. I tried to ignore the hollowness in my chest the best I could by keeping busy behind the bar, but it didn’t erase the dull pain that lingered with his absence.

I kept telling myself that it was better this way. Hastie could go on living his reckless life and my secret would be kept safe. I knew I had lost any chance of being with him. I had made too many mistakes that were unforgivable. But if that meant keeping my mental disorder behind doors so I didn’t have to live as a constant victim of pity and stigma, then I would do that. Maybe it was time to just accept my fate.

Sighing, I focused on the important task of clearing more of the empties from around the bar. It was approaching closing time, which meant less people, but as long as I kept busy, I wouldn’t have to think. And if I didn’t have to think, I wouldn’t hurt. I spurred myself into motion, more than happy to get things done.

“Whoa there, darling,” Hanna said, laying a hand on my arm. She steadied me before I could topple over her. “You’re the Road Runner zipping through here so quickly. Why don’t you take a break?”

“I’m fine.” My smile was bright and cheery. All fake.

“We’re closing in fifteen. Clear the bar and then go help the rest of the guys stack the stools up so that we can clean the floors later tonight.”

Nodding, I moved onto cleaning like it was my mission. Once that was done, I walked over to Charlie, the cleaning guy, to help. He was picking up the stools and flipping them so that they lay on the tabletops. Mimicking his motions, I picked up the stool closest to me and started stacking them. Pick up and stack, pick up and stack. I was so absorbed in my work that I failed to see Charlie until I clubbed him in the head with one of the stool’s legs.

“Ow! What the fuck, Indy?” Charlie was clutching his head. His eyes shot daggers at me, his anger rising to a boiling point in record timing.

“Oh my God!” I cried when I had realized what I had done. “I’m so sorry!”

Charlie stumbled forward to clutch the end of the table and I instinctively stepped back. My ass and my hands bumped into something behind me and the next thing I knew, Hanna was cursing and the floor was covered with a sticky substance. Beer?

Whirling around, I quickly apologized, the words tumbling from my mouth so quickly I barely heard it myself. “Oh Hanna, I didn’t realize you were there. I’m so sorry!”

“What’s going on?” Seeing Charlie injured, Hanna stepped over the mess I made on the floor.

He recoiled from her, his eyes still harboring hostility that was focused solely on me. “Get her out of here!” Charlie yelled.
