Dr. Harr had listened to him rant about how Dylan pushed him to sign up for this stupid online dating site. While Dylan pulled a twenty-four-hour shift, Mike had the apartment to himself.

It felt like an echo chamber, his own grief becoming a sound that pinged off the walls over and over, like a ricochet of agony.

Yep. Dylan was right.

He had to do something.

With a resigned sigh, he opened the laptop and navigated to the dating site Dylan had shown him. Logged in.

And discovered sixty-seven messages for him.

What.

The.

Fuck?

Sixty-seven messages of what?

It only took reading three or four messages for Mike to figure it out. Dylan had submitted a profile for him without saying a word, and the messages were from women looking for someone to date.

A few of the women were drop dead gorgeous. A little too beautiful to be true. Some were from other countries, clearly seeking a green card marriage. A few looked a little too much like his mom to be of interest.

He read the messages with a strange sort of detachment, as if he were picking out the right cantaloupe at the store, assessing the perfect qualities before committing to one and taking it home, luscious and ripe.

Not that he thought about women that way. Or men. Or human beings, period. His head hurt, suddenly, and his feet began to twitch. This was precisely why he hated Jill so much.

Hated her for dying on him.

The thought made him sit up in shock. He didn’t hate Jill.

He loved Jill. Loved her with an intensity so strong it burned bright even now, a year and a half after he’d last heard her voice, kissed her warm lips, been looked at with so much love in those eyes that he felt complete.

That’s what he missed. Being loved by her. Being able to love her. Having it all be so seamless. The thought of going out into the crazy dating scene and finding another woman made him go half-mad, because if hell is other people, then the devil has a lot of fun with dating profiles and awkward first dates.

He closed the laptop. Later, when Dylan was home and rested, he’d chew him out. Right now, the entire process exhausted him. Thinking about being with another woman—any woman other than Jill—made his insides twist into a Möbius strip.

Bed. He needed to sleep. The oblivion of it was a welcome balm, and as he faded out he was grateful for an empty mind and a resting body.

At least the sorrow in his dreams didn’t follow him in real life.
