Chapter 7

The remainder of the week flew by in a haze. I was extremely productive to the point of overworking, and Bernie seemed pleased with my submissions. She asked me to lunch on Friday, and I was grateful for the opportunity to escape Megan’s ever watchful eye. I had asked her after my phone call with Grayson if she was sure she was okay with me going. She had, after all, been the one who’d had a crush on him.

“Please,” she had said, waving a hand. “This isn’t some cute guy from the bar. This is Grayson Hunter.” I had heard his name so much that it was starting to lose any meaning, like when you repeated words over and over in your head until they no longer sounded the way they should.

I had spent Friday night with Megan, Amanda, and some of the regulars at one of the nicer clubs we frequented. It had been a crazy, stressful week, and I was looking forward to unwinding, but Amanda and Megan had insisted I only have a few drinks; I didn’t want to be hung over for my date, did I?

Having found it impossible to relax in anyway, I had left the party early and was in bed by midnight. It seemed I was making a habit of this. Both Megan and Amanda had been great about not telling anyone about my date, which they both thought was a much bigger deal than I did. They didn’t want to tell anyone because they were afraid I would be hated by the entire female population of the city; I didn’t want to tell anyone because I wasn’t sure about him at all.

The next morning, the day of the big date, my doorbell rang before I had even opened my eyes. I groaned and checked my phone, eight thirty. Stumbling sleepily down the hall, I pressed the buzzer and went to the kitchen to turn on the coffee maker. I had just managed to pull down the mugs when there were two soft thuds on the door. Amanda, I thought. Megan always banged incessantly with both her fists. Amanda had a more courteous elegance about her, despite being as insanely excited about today as Megan was.

“Here, take these,” Amanda said as she walked through the door, handing me a stack of dresses in plastic sleeves.

“Good morning to you too,” I said, closing the door behind her and throwing the dresses on a nearby chair. “I didn’t realize you were coming this early.”

Amanda ignored me and poured coffee into the mugs I had set out, adding a drop of cream in mine and taking hers black. She dug around in my cabinets and refrigerator for a few minutes before bringing out a small platter of fruit and pastries that I forgot I had to go along with our coffee.

“I wasn’t planning on coming over this early,” she said, “but I ended up staying somewhere closer to the store than I thought, so I slipped in this morning.
