LEXY

“Fuck,” I mutter under my breath as my phone falls in what feels like slow motion to the concrete outside Soul Cycle as I reach for the door. Please do not be broken. I send out a silent prayer with a curse to myself for being so careless with my caseless phone. My stubborn ass refused to put my new case on this morning so I wouldn’t be reminded of Troy during my ride–as if that would help.

Thank God my phone seems unharmed as I slide it in the pocket of my leggings before a second attempt at entering the building. Maybe I’d be less of a mess if I’d gotten any sleep at all last night. I’ve never had an issue sleeping until now. A groan leaves me as my head collapses on my arms on the receptionist's counter. Todd. Troy. My job. Everything is a mess.

“Are you alright, Lexy? You're here much later than normal.” Hannah’s voice is so soft it’s barely loud enough to get my attention, but I lift my head to look at her through the fake eyelashes I never took off last night.

I groan again in response, feeling hungover even though I haven’t had any alcohol.

“Jared is here today,” Hannah adds in a hopeful tone.

“At least there’s that. Thanks, Hannah,” I force a smile as I take a towel from her and drag myself into the cycle room.

I find a bike in the back corner and adjust it before swinging a leg over the seat. I don’t even bother taking my sweater off. I can’t imagine I have enough energy to work up a sweat right now. Why am I even here? Jared runs through the side entrance and onto the stage, exploding with energy I typically try to absorb. Today, I want none of it. Every part of me feels like shit, and I have no idea what could possibly make me feel better.

“Who is ready to CLIMB today?!” Jared yells through his mic.

Not me. Considering my starting point is deep in a hole right now, it sounds like far too much work. I turn my dial all the way to the left, so there’s no resistance. My feet spin out of control in jagged strokes without any pressure pushing back. I turn the resistance up just enough to maintain control.

“This course is going to be tough today, but you got this. First hill starts right out of the gate. Turn two full turns to the right and find your momentum. Chase the burn.”

I leave my dial where it is and keep cruising with minimal effort.

His eyes scan the room then stop on me. “Lexy, what the hell are you doing?”

I mean-mug him while continuing my casual pedal strokes.

“Keep climbing this hill, everyone. Three minutes until the end of the song before recovery.” He pulls his headset mic off as he hops off his bike and heads toward me in the back row.

“What’s happening right now?” He grips his fingers around my handlebars. “Where is Lexy?” he asks when I meet his gaze.
