After I heard about the subway situation, I decided to actually hold up my second end of the bargain—food. We desperately need food.

My mouth waters at the thought of the delicious four course meal we should’ve been enjoying, but there’s no use crying over burnt steak. I drive out a few miles further than I intended, but wind up at one of my and Tessa’s favorite restaurants. It might take a while for them to fill a decent takeout order, but at this point—who cares? Who knows when Riley will be home, and in the meantime everyone else is left picking on cheese and crackers while they wait.

I shoot Tessa a quick text to let her know where I am.

Her response takes me a second to process.

I barge out of the lobby of the Bella Notte and into the cold winter air. Tessa picks up after half a ring and I don’t even give her a chance to say hello. “What do you mean fiancé? Who the—are you—is this some kind of joke? I don’t under—”

“There’s no use trying to wrap your head around it. Just get back as soon as you can. Please. I still don’t feel so great and everyone’s starving. I think tomorrow I want to stay under the covers and pretend it’s just any other day. What a fucking mess.”

Her negativity stabs me in the gut. Tessa fucking loves the holidays. I hate hearing her like this—void of all her usual Christmas spirit. I contemplate dropping everything just to run back to her side and kiss her blues away. But we have nothing to eat, Riley’s still MIA, I’m not exactly ready to face my father and some bimbo and—Jesus, what a fucking mess is right. “Wow. Just wow. Way to ease us in, Pop. When did he even start dating her?”

“I don’t know. Beck and I decided to save the inquisition for you and Riley.”

“Thanks,” I mock. “Has anyone heard from her yet?”

“Yeah. Beck finally got in touch with her. She’s stuck in the city. Still waiting for a cab. Poor thing must be starved and livid.”

“I bet you any amount of money when she walks in that door and has to face Dad and his new lady friend, she’ll wish she was still stuck on that train.”
