I’m still thinking about Lulu when I step out of the Uber in front of the Mark Hopkins Hotel. My head is fucked right now. Between not telling Sylvie I love her and Lulu asking to call her Mommy, I’m in so deep, the only thing to do now is drink.

I check my watch as the doorman greets me.

“Good evening, sir.”

Nobody has ever called me sir; it must be the suit.

“Good evening,” I mimic. “Can you tell me which room the Sebastian wedding is in?” I was instructed to meet my date in the lobby. I’m not to go near the reception without her.

“Cocktails are being served on the terrace; you’ll be directed from there.”

I thank him and pull out my phone. The lobby of the Mark Hopkins has an old world vibe and looks like the set of a Sex and the City episode. Leeyan loved that show. We binge-watched it throughout her pregnancy. I stand opposite of the front desk, waiting for Big and Carrie to step off the elevator.

A few women dressed in formal attire walk past me and smile. One them looks back then laughs to her companion. I swear she recognizes me. What if she knows me from the club? I don’t know the protocol.

The woman who hired me might be telling people I’m a law student or a stockbroker. I’m supposed to play along with whatever story she’s concocted. I pull out my phone to call Rico. He’ll tell me what to do.

“Sway?”

I look up and find a beautiful young woman in a pink strapless dress, smiling at me. I go through a catalog of faces in my head to place her.

“Or should I call you Theo? I’m not sure how this works exactly.” She blushes.

“Cheyenne?” I confirm.

“Yes. I’ve never done this before, so you’ll have to guide me through it.”

I don’t tell her this is my first date too. I’m afraid it will freak her out. Instead, I offer my arm. “Shall we?”

She exhales and smiles. “Let’s do this.”

As we walk to the terrace, I ask her whose wedding we’re attending. Friend, family, co-worker.

“This is just the reception. I didn’t want you at the church.” She scrunches up her face. “Sorry, did that sound rude?”

“No, don’t worry about offending me.”

For fifteen hundred dollars, you can offend the fuck out of me.

“I went to college with the bride. After college, we were roommates, until she met Simon, the groom. Then everything was about Simon.” Cheyenne seems a little jealous. I wonder if she and the bride were a thing. I feel like my night just got a lot more exciting.

“Let’s just say a lot has gone down in the last few months. I wasn’t even sure I was going to show up tonight.” She’s nervous and rambling. I let her. That’s my job. “Then I had this great plan, and that’s when I hired you.” She takes a breath. “Maybe this was a bad idea.” She stops walking abruptly and yanks me back with her.
