I pull up to the diner and realize I don’t even know what I’m going to do or say, but instead of sitting there and debating forever, I just get out and march right up to the front door. My heart’s pounding as I step inside and look around.

I don’t see her, but that doesn’t mean she’s not here. I’m so fired up I walk straight for the door to the kitchen. But before I can reach it, it swings open and Tammy’s friend Georgina, her arms full of plates, comes barging out.

“Excuse me, honey,” she says quickly, as though I was any other customer. But as she passes me, she gives me a double take. “Oh, shit! Derek! Gimme a second, okay!?”

“All right,” I grumble, eyeing the door swinging open to the kitchen to see if Tammy’s there. She’s probably not. I’m pissed, but I can feel myself starting to calm down now that I know she’s probably not here and it doesn’t matter that I have no idea what I was going to say to her anyway.

“You lookin’ for Tammy?” Georgina says from behind me. I turn around and see her smiling at me with a shit-eating grin. It must be obvious how nervous I am, and I can tell she loves it.

“Yeah, she working tonight?”

“Nah, she’s got the evening off. At home with her boy.”

Her boy.

There it is again. That doubt – that suggestion that maybe I have a son. I push the thought out of my mind.

“All right, thanks,” I say, turning away. If Tammy’s not here, I don’t need to be here. If she’s at home, then that’s where I’m going.

“Gonna go talk to her?” Georgina asks, stopping me in my tracks. I turn around to face her. What’s this chick want?

“I mean…yeah,” I mutter, ready to be out of here.

“She likes ya,” Georgina smiles. “But you did her dirty, boy.”

My mouth opens, but I can’t find the words to speak. I mean – she’s not wrong, but I don’t know how to explain things to her. I wasn’t even sure what I was gonna say to Tammy let alone Georgina who I’ve never said more than two words to.

“Hope you’ve got some apology ready,” Georgina adds. She must be able to see I’m feeling vulnerable right now.

“Yeah,” I say. “Something like that.”

Enough is enough. It’s time to go. I turn around and shove the door open with my foot and step outside. As I walk to my car, I start going over things I could say to Tammy. None of them really seem right. But I have to say something. I have to try. All I can hope is that she understands and forgives me.
