Once the customers started pouring in, the night flew by.

I got used to the weight and flow of each of the five basic drinks and before too long, I was able to choose the right bottle without even looking down.

Most of the people who came in seemed happy to see a new face behind the bar. I began to relax into the rhythm of the work, having fun meeting new people and listening to the kinds of conversations taking place.

Since the music was loud, most people practically yelled at each other, laying their business out in front of everyone close enough to hear.

I paid attention without making eye contact or showing any indication that I was listening, but I was getting a kick out of things like complaints about girlfriends who had cast spells on them when they refused to help with the dishes.

I was sure the more serious conversations were happening back in the shadowy booths and in the darkness of the second floor tables, but I liked the energy up here away from the darker places. I liked the neon glow of the bar and the way I could see everything happening out on the dance floor.

I also liked the fact that no one could come up and threaten me in front of everyone. I felt safer up here.

The people who crowded around the bar were like most customers at bars I’d worked in the past, here to have a good time and be around friends and people who were like them.

People like me.

“Where’s Rend?” A man wearing a black baseball cap leaned across the bar near me. From what I could see of his face under the cap, he was handsome.

I moved toward him, the mention of Rend’s name sending an involuntary flare of heat though my middle. “I’m not sure,” I said. I glanced around the crowded room, but didn’t spot him anywhere. “I don’t see him. Wait here just a second.”

Azure had barely spoken two words to me all night. She’d mostly kept to her side of the bar all night, only coming over when someone requested one of the more complicated drinks and she had to get into the cabinet behind me. She would know what to do, though, and possibly where to find Rend.

“Hey, the guy in the black hat down there is looking for Rend,” I said, walking over to where she was openly flirting with a group of guys at the end of the bar. “Do you know where he is?”

She sighed audibly. “Do you?”

I bit back a sarcastic reply and played nice. “What should I tell this guy, then?”

“That's Silas,” she said, waving to him. “I’ll go see if I can find Rend. Tell him to hang on to his britches.”

“Thanks.”

I asked Silas to wait here while Azure went to see if she could find Rend. I served a few customers who all wanted Red Dragon. A few minutes later, Rend appeared on the other side of the bar and shook the man’s hand.
