DILLON

I was brought up to believe that life came in neat little doses. The basic theory being that if I did X and then qualified for Y and then graduated from Z, not only would utter nirvana be the result, but I would be guaranteed absolute happiness.

Which, surprise, surprise, has turned out to be utter bullshit.

Over and over again I’ve learned that there aren’t many straight lines in life.

And what if it turns out that a life well lived is the one where we take as many alternate, or as my mother would put it, “wrong” forks in the road as we possibly can.

Now, I’m not saying that based on either of these theories I should have acted differently with Dillon. All I’m getting at is that, frankly, our relationship surprised me as much as I’m guessing it surprised him.

How is it that two people can work closely together and never once notice each other, until that split second when the earth tilts on its axis and all sorts of new unexamined worlds open up?

Worlds which, by the way, all revolve around someone that you have never even had one single erotic thought about before.

Not one.

What if absolutely everything you want can change in an instant?

Let’s say, hypothetically, that all the days of your life you have known that you want A. Not B. Never B. Frankly, you don’t even get the point of B, so B has never even come onto your radar screen. You know it deep within your soul that A is what you want, no doubt about it, that’s what you’re heading towards.

Then, Bam! Out of nowhere, from the corner of your eye you see B and you’re practically drowning in a flood of all that B is making you feel. Instantly, it’s crystal clear that you want, you need, oh god, you have to have B.

How could this have happened, you ask yourself when you finally come up for air? After all, you didn’t plan for it and you sure as hell didn’t see it coming.

Welcome to an unexpected fork in the road.

Now, for the big question: Was I going to go after it with all of my heart, or was I going to stay stuck exactly where I was before?

We have to go back several weeks to my first day on the job at the casino. I was hiding in the back room and spent the better part of fifteen minutes trying to pull my damn skirt down lower and my bustier up higher.

Thank god I’d already had some experience wearing almost nothing at the exotic erotic party on campus, or I would have been really freaked out my uniform. At least with this one I got to wear something other than hair over my boobs.

That’s me, always looking on the bright side.

Anyway, a husky middle-aged woman in the corner noticed me and immediately took me under her wing. She motioned for me to come over.

“I’m Sandy,” she said, as we shook hands.
