Three hours later, her head still pounding from the almighty showdown she’d had with her boss, Lauren sat at a table in Valentina’s in downtown Hope Valley, opposite her good friend, Tamika. It was their favorite cocktail bar, and they were into their second happy-hour drink, while Lauren unloaded the story of her day.

“It’s the worst case of he-said he-said,” she complained and took a gulp of her mojito.

Tamika’s big, brown eyes shone sympathetically. “It sounds like a crazy story all round. Either this guy is lying, or someone’s going around impersonating park rangers and selling off land they don’t own. For a dollar.”

“Yup. Crazy is right.”

“But the crux of the matter is that your boss shouldn’t have put you in that position. It could have been dangerous.”

“You’re telling me.” Lauren shuddered at the memory of the big, half-naked guy, muscles bulging, face contorted with anger. “The guy got all aggressive. I felt like he could eat me alive. He’s got no business occupying that land and acting all entitled. And I’ve told Errol there’s no way I’m going back there alone. He’ll have to get off his lazy ass and do something himself for once.”

Tamika grinned. “Atta girl! What did he say?”

“Just his usual crap.” Lauren stared at the ceiling. “I’m so done working with this guy, but there’s supposed to be a promotion opportunity coming up. I could become Parks Executive Officer, instead of Junior Parks Officer.” She rolled her eyes at the fluffy corporate titles. “I know I’ve got the skills and experience for it.”

“Of course, you have! Lauren, you’re the smartest person I know. I’m always telling you that. You’d be an asset to any company.”

Lauren jabbed her straw into the minty mush at the bottom of her glass. “Thanks, Tamika. Problem is, it doesn’t do me a whole lot of good when I’m up against people with college degrees.”

“I wish you’d come work with me.”

Lauren reached out and squeezed Tamika’s hand. “You’re a sweetheart. But you and I both know, I suck at technology. And the Parks Department doesn’t exactly have its finger on the pulse, so anything I know is outdated by about ten years. Anyway, enough about my ridiculous day. How are things going with your new creation?”

Tamika broke into a grin and clapped her hands together. “I’m very excited to say that the app is about to go into beta mode.”

Lauren raised an eyebrow in incomprehension.

“Oh, I’m sorry—I’m such an egghead sometimes! It means testing mode.”

“That’s great! Did you decide on the name for it?”

“Shiftr. Spelled without the e. Like Happn and Grindr.”

Lauren nodded slowly. “I like it. Very cool.”

“It’s just about ready to be tested live on some lucky subjects. We’ve got a bunch of shifters signed up to it, and a few lovely curvy ladies as well. And all that remains is to see how well our matchmaking technology works.”

“Awesome—” She froze. “Wait, I know that look in your eye. You want me to help you?”

Tamika’s eyes went soft and beseeching.
