One night, home with Hayley, having a beer, talking over her day, she said, “Let me get you a job.”

“A job? Like temp work?”

“I need someone to do a call center for credit card billing. It's the bottom of the pile, but it would get you out of the house.”

I feigned horror. “But I like the house. I want to stay in the house. Maybe I could be a bartender. Then I would see you more often.”

“Yes! There's an idea. I would love to be best friends with a bartender. Do that.”

“How do I do that?”

“I think a class. I'll research it tomorrow.” She swigged from her beer.

“Good, because ever since I was a little girl I thought, I want to grow up and serve alcohol to people.”

“You joke, but it's a good idea. It's the opposite of what you've been doing. Lying around here, being a super, sad, cautionary tale.”

“Yeah.” I stared off into space. “Does Magnus still live here?”

“He's still in town. Zach still loves working there. He told Michael that Magnus's favorite band now is Foo Fighters. Also, that he's teaching them self-defense, with swords. Which is so cool. I'm the best temp company owner in the world that I got him that job.”

“You know I kind of got you the jobs.”

“Yeah, true, but not as cool. I wish we knew what happened — you were his main go-to person for everything. It was clear he liked you. I wish I understood what happened there.”

“Is he dating someone?” I tried to make it sound casual, like whatevs.

“No, definitely not. Emma told me he acts like he's leaving. He's getting everyone ready to run the house while he's not there.”

“That's why. He said he couldn't go out with me because he was leaving.”

“At least it was true. Not much comfort, but he wasn't lying at least. That's an improvement for you.”

“Yeah, but why won't he see me until he goes? Am I repulsive?”

“You know that's not what it is. It's more likely he liked you too much. That he was worried he would —”

“Oh god, are you going to be one of those kinds of friends? A guy doesn't want to be with me, tells me, goes out of his way to avoid me, and you're going to tell me it's because he liked me too much? By that logic Braden must love me so, so, very much.”

“What's your theory then?”

“That I'm repulsive. And that you're right, from now on I need to do everything the opposite.”
