“Enjoy your meal.” I smile at the elderly couple who both look ready to dig into their spaghetti.

Breezing by my other tables, I do a scan to see who needs refills, if anyone needs napkins, or who might be ready for their check.

“Busy night,” Aldo remarks, shaking up a cocktail.

“It’s always busy.”

“Thank goodness for that,” Izzy inserts, running by.

Heather comes up beside me, tucking her tray under her arm. “Aldo, think you can do us all a favor and slip something into Izzy’s drink to calm her crazy ass down.”

He gives a laugh, pouring the blue colored drink into a fancy glass before popping an umbrella in. “I wish, but alas we all must deal with my sister.”

“Ugh, that’s what I figured.” Heather sticks her tongue out and crosses her eyes. She gives me a light tap on my butt and heads into the kitchen.

I grab refills for a few of my tables and drop off the check at two of them. I’m glad the night is busy. It keeps me distracted from the fact that tomorrow is Friday and Kenna will be leaving, and then Li on Saturday. I know I’ll be fine on my own, but I will miss them.

For some stupid reason, I keep expecting Mascen to come with one of his ‘dates’. But he hasn’t shown all week. I’ve seen him on campus once this week and he was in line for coffee with Mallory. My heart instantly dropped. I’ve never seen him multiple times with a girl like I have with her. It makes me think maybe they are dating—according to campus gossip he’s still free real estate, which is the dumbest saying I’ve ever heard.

Approaching the elderly couple’s table, I ask, “Would you guys be interested in some dessert this evening?”

“Not tonight, sweetheart.” The woman smiles kindly at me.

Rubbing his round tummy her husband adds, “I’m stuffed.”

“Okay, are you ready for the check then? No rush.”

“Bring it by when you have time.”

Bustling back to the kitchen I bring out an order for another table and then drop the check off to the couple. He immediately slides a bill into the sleeve.

“No change.”

“Thank you. You both have a good evening.”

They both stand, the man reaching for his wife’s coat first to help her into it. “You’re welcome. Goodnight,” they tell me.

It’s another two hours before my shift ends, which is a little earlier than normal. Still, it’s dark outside when I walk out to my car. The streetlights are bright, but the lot for staff isn’t as well lit.

When I first notice the body leaning against my truck my heart freezes in fear, a scream lodged in my throat. I quickly recognize the body frame and my heart doubles in speed. Mascen must hear my shoes on the gravel because his head flies up and somehow even in the dark our eyes make contact.

“What are you doing here sulking in the dark, Edward Cullen?”

“Waiting for you.” He doesn’t move away from my truck.

“Why?” I stop a few feet away from him, my purse drawn across my body like a shield.
