Chapter Eight

The next morning was Friday. The sun shone brightly through every window in Ko’s place. He stood for a moment to stare across the vast landscape at the mountains in the distance, wanting to feel as large and out-of-the-world wonderful as he imagined they did. But in the back of his mind, Jackson lurked like a specter.

Usually Ko would use the first few hours to hit the gym but if he was going to make it to Coalminers, he had to skip that. Then, to make matters worse, he received a call from his photographer that she was in the hospital and had to cancel with him. Thankfully, she hadn’t signed the contract yet but he still had to find a new photographer.

Groaning, he wrapped a towel around his damp hips and grabbed his iPad. He Facetimed Stella and she leaned in to eye him.

“You didn’t sleep last night,” Stella said

“Of course I slept.”

“Nope. The bags under your eyes tell the story as plain as the nose on your face.” She sat back. “What’s going on?”

“First, Audrey can’t do the shoot. She’s in the hospital right now and even though she didn’t tell me what’s happening, I’m going to assume it’s bad.”

“I’ll look into that.”

“Send her some flowers for me.”

“Okay. Tasha Simpson is a good one, too—she shot Jackson Stark for Men Tower.”

“I remember.” Ko nodded. “Get a hold of her. Find out if she’s available for the dates we need her. She might want to use a different concept for the shoot, I don’t know.”

“Those are easy enough. What’s the next issue?”

“I think I have a thing for Jackson— No, wait, let me rephrase that. I know I have a thing for him.”

“So he does swing your way! I knew it!”

Ko glared at her.

“What? I’m happy for you. Aww, come on now! Please tell me you’ve made your intentions known!”

“What is this? The eighteen hundreds? Forget I asked that. Look, last night I almost crossed the line. Then I saw him outside with his boyfriend and I lost my mind. I don’t even know why I’m going to see him today. I don’t need the added temptation of seeing him outside of a professional setting.”

“No. What you don’t like is not being in control.”

Ko wanted to scream. Instead, he rubbed his tired eyes and yawned. “Listen, do those things for me. I have a couple more things to get done before I need to head out for lunch. Did you hear back from Ivor?”

“Yeah. I just got off the phone with him. He’s starting the updates today.”

“Perfect. I noticed we haven’t gotten any more complaints, but I still need the bugs worked out.”

Stella nodded. “Well, have fun on your date.”

“It’s not a date.”

“Me thinks—”

“If you say thou protests too much I’m going to strangle you.”

Stella giggled. “Now, now, Mr. Takao. What would Buddha do?”

Ko crinkled his nose at her but couldn’t help laughing. “Go away, Stella.”

“Right away, sir.”

Even as the tablet went back to his screensaver, Ko was laughing and shaking his head.
