Alex laid on the couch, flicking through Netflix movies, trying to find something to watch that wasn’t some cheesy holiday movie where the main characters found out they were perfect for each other. He couldn’t handle that kind of love story right now. Better to watch some story where things got blown up.

He knew he should be doing something more productive, hell, there were pregnant women out there training for marathons in the snow, or teenagers feeding starving puppies, or, as he heard the key in the lock, men giving free checkups to senior citizens on a fixed income. Fucking heartbreak. He knew he should pull his head out of his ass, but it just took so much energy to take the first step, energy he didn’t seem to have right now.

“How was the center?” Alex said as Sebastian perched on the chair next to him.

“Good. Just love the people there. Favorite part of the week. Luci did well too,” he said, not looking up from his phone. Alex glanced over.

“Wait, are you on Tinder? Didn’t you just go out with Luci?”

Sebastian’s thumbs were working overtime, swiping away. “Yeah, so?”

Alex was dumbfounded. “Well, she likes you.” Surely even Sebastian wasn’t that oblivious, right?

“She’s cool. But we’re not a thing yet, so ain’t no harm in keeping options open, yeah? I bet you’re hitting it hard too after you broke it off with your girl. We probably got some of the same people in our queue. Wouldn’t that be hilarious?”

With a shake of his long hair, Sebastian headed to his room.

Fuck. Alex didn’t have Tinder on his phone. Never even considered it while he was getting over Dani, and was pretty damn sure Luci wasn’t using it right now either.

Furious, he stormed right downstairs to Luci’s apartment, rapping on her door urgently.

“What’s up?” Luci looked worried at his sudden arrival at her door.

Alex noticed that Luci was in another one of her new fancy outfits, this time with torn jeans and a form-fitting long sleeve shirt. Her bare toes were polished. Alex just grew angrier. She looked this good and Sebastian was still chasing other women? Shouldn’t he just be damn happy with what he had going for him?

“You’ve got to quit seeing Sebastian, Luce.” He pushed his way in and flopped down on her couch. He noticed the stack of letters on her kitchen table hadn’t moved since he over last week. That or she was putting them in the same scattered position as they left them.

“What the actual fuck? I told you to stay out of it! You just can’t see me happy, can you?”

“Sebastian will NOT make you happy!” The words shot out before Alex could stop them.

She snorted. “What do you think will make me happy then? Being single on the holidays for the twenty-fifth year running? Browsing through Target slowly for the third time this week, hoping that the men there aren’t picking up tampons for their wives? You haven’t been single in years, you don’t know how hard it is.
