At 6:32, I saw Andie walking up Fillmore Street. She was hand in hand with a tall, lanky blond with curly hair that fell just below his ears. I assumed he was Gaslamp Guy.

I stood up and wiped the dust off my jeans as they approached.

“Andie, hey.”

“Oh, hi.”

She turned to Gaslamp Guy. “This is Waverly.”

I held my hand out. “It’s nice to meet you, um…” I’d forgotten his name. Or had I ever learned it? Then I noticed how familiar he looked. “Have we met before?”

“I don’t think so.”

“We’re sort of in a hurry,” Andie said.

“Do you have a moment to talk?” I hoped she could see the pleading look in my eyes but also that Gaslamp Guy couldn’t.

“I’m sorry, I can’t tonight.” The coldness in her reply was something I’d never heard from her before, and it scared me.

“What about tomorrow night? Pizza at Dino’s? Beers at the Kilkenny? You pick. It’s on me.”

She turned to Gaslamp Guy. “Are we hanging out tomorrow?”

He put his hand on her shoulder. “I have to go visit my uncle, remember?”

She looked back at me and sighed. “Okay then, fine. Tomorrow.”

“Kilkenny at seven?”

“Whatever.” She opened the front door of her building and went inside without making eye contact.

“Okay, see you then. It was nice to meet you…I’m sorry, what was your name again?” I couldn’t call him Gaslamp Guy to his face, at least not until I knew him better.

“CJ,” he said as the door shut behind them.

“Bye, CJ.”

I stared at a crack in the sidewalk. I had to get Andie to forgive me.

Then something hit me.

Suddenly I knew why Gaslamp Guy seemed so familiar.

He looked a LOT like the guy in the photo on Ivy’s desk. The photo of her boyfriend, Casey.
