ALICE

M y family all stares at me when I walk back inside the house. They’re sitting around watching old movies, and my sister leaps up and pulls my arm. “Alice,” she hisses, dragging me into my bedroom. “You tell me everything this instant.”

I flop down on the bed and tell her all of it, how Tim opened up to me about his mother and that kiss we shared on the bench. “Amy, it was...I’ve just never been kissed like that before.”

She throws open my closet and puts her hands on her hips. “We have to go buy you something to wear for next weekend, or you won’t get kissed like that again.”

“Shut up, jerk,” I say. But she’s right. I’ve spent the last years waitressing, cooking, or playing with my nephews. I haven’t bought a new dress in ages. Tim is always so put together, dressed in killer suits. I think about how young he is, how young he was when he started taking care of his family. He has to look like a shark in a world of salt and pepper suits who've been in the game for decades. Dress for the job you want, I guess they say. Right now, the job I want is Tim Stag's sex goddess. Giggling, Amy and I leave the house and drive to the mall, where she forces me toward the more expensive department stores.

“Alice, you’re going out with Tim Stag. You can’t look like you’re headed to a hockey game this time.” She reminds me of my higher-than-expected salary and I agree to try on a beautiful, cobalt blue dress by Kate Spade. My sister pushes me toward the low-cut, slinky dresses, but that’s just not my style. She rolls her eyes at me when I tell her I’m going with the sleeveless, boat-neck dress. “I guess he already knows he can get the milk for free,” she says. I remind her that it’s at least shorter than I feel comfortable with and we find a pair of strappy heels to go with it.

At work the next day, I’m not sure how things will go when I see Tim, but he stops by the kitchen for breakfast and I feel butterflies in my stomach just looking at him. He lets his finger linger on my hand when he takes a muffin from me, and I bite my lip, wondering how I will make it until Saturday before really touching him again.

I think he’s very busy with a lot of hockey endorsement contracts now that the season is over, because I don’t see him much all week. I hear Juniper talking about him taking his grandmother to some doctor appointments even though Ty is the one who lives with her right now. I really like that Tim makes sure his family is ok, in his own way.

I’m like some teenager in middle school, looking for him every few minutes, unable to speak when I do see him, finding ways to make sure I touch him.
