Chapter 15

DEV

I’d been working like a dog. So many meetings, so many conference calls and projects all coming to a head. Every day I came home exhausted, flopped myself on my couch, and texted Lyra. Sometimes it lasted an hour, sometimes only a few minutes. It started in the usual way—something one of us remembered about the party. Tonight, it was Lyra’s turn. By the time I’d gotten my Chinese takeout set up on my coffee table, my phone buzzed.

Right on time.

-So, does that bar of yours allow live music? Because I have an idea.

-They do. What’s the idea? Nothing lame, I hope.

-There’s this Better than Ezra cover band…

-Better than Ezra? WTF? They have like two songs.

-They’re Maren’s favorite. Like all-time favorite.

-Seriously? I just lost massive respect for that girl.

-Ass!

-I’m just playing! Seriously, though, do they just play their three popular songs on a loop for three hours?

-I thought you said they had two songs. Which is it?

-Doesn’t matter. They suck. And they’re…old. Doesn’t she like anything from this century?

-Dev, stop! The place is for Peter, right? So this can be for Mare. She’ll love it and I’ll take care of their fee.

-No, I’ll split it with you. I mean, I’m assuming they charge per song? Shouldn’t be too much.

-I’m not dignifying that with a response.

-LMAO! Seriously, though, I’ll split it with you and I’ll make sure it’s okay with Morgan. I mean, that’s assuming they’re even free that night…I’m sure their schedule is just packed.

-What am I gonna do with you?

I could think of a lot of things I wanted Lyra to do to me, but I wasn’t sure a text thread was the best place to list them…not if I had any shot of them actually happening. But good lord, I wanted to do all kinds of things to Lyra Castillo. Things that would make her Jane Austen characters have a holy heart attack.

Eat your heart out, Jane.

-So when are we going shopping for decorations?

-Oh, you’re coming with me?

-Is that a problem?

-No, of course not. But I get final say. Deal?

-Ugh, fine.

-And you’re not allowed to open your wallet. Like we agreed, decorations are on me.

-We’ll see about that. ;)

-What’s for dinner tonight? Let me guess….Chinese?

Lyra was well versed in my nightly takeout. And she had a knack for guessing what I would be eating each night. It was like she was keeping a tally or something.

-How did you know? Are you stalking me or something?

-LOL You wish!

-Indeed.

She started typing and then stopped. I loved when I got Lyra tongue tied; it didn’t happen often, as her sharp wit was usually quicker than my own, but every once in a while I got her. And with one word, I did exactly that. Grabbing my chopsticks, I popped open my Peking duck and dropped a piece of juicy meat into my mouth, all too proud of myself. After I’d eaten a few more bites of my dinner, Lyra finally responded, but she avoided my stalking topic.

-So when do you
