“Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes,” Stephanie said, setting a glass of water in front of me. “Sorry, but since you’re driving, no beer for you.”

Heather was busy helping a customer, so I sat at the bar, satisfied I got a chance to talk to Steph before I took off.

I raised the water glass to her. “Yeah, I know you’ll miss me, but there’s no need to cry on the bar.”

“Oh, I guess you don’t know… Heather asked me to manage her other location. Apparently, when she visited, she had to fire the previous manager. So, we’ll be close… like you’re taking a little part of home with you.” She smiled. “Today’s my last day here.”

I raised my eyebrows. “Are you okay with this?”

“I wouldn’t have agreed if I wasn’t. I think she wants me the fuck away from here since I’ve made it clear I don’t approve of how things went down.” She leaned over the bar. “Look, the other day, Kyle was sniffing around some chick who I later found out was the girl you were with the night y’all broke up. It seemed like they knew each other.”

I took a drink of water, trying to figure out a way to play it cool. If Kyle was already stepping out on Heather, I wasn’t sure how I was gonna deal with that.

“Was he… hitting on her?”

“If he was, she wasn’t having it. She didn’t seem to care for him much.”

The relief I felt from that knowledge was probably visible on my face. Luckily, something over my shoulder caught her eye.

“Looks like you can ask him yourself.” She smirked and leaned forward, lowering her voice. “But if you are gonna hit him, please take it outside in the back, and make sure you tell me so I can watch.”

I turned to find Kyle approaching me slowly, with his metaphorical hat in his hands.

“Hey, Hasbro.”

I felt my blood start to heat up at the sight of him, so I relied on the water to try and cool it.

“It takes fucking balls to call me that, Dickhead.”

He threw up his hands in surrender. “You’re right, you’re right.” He shook his head. “Just trying to lighten the mood. I figured since I gave you that nickname, I would try to remind you that we are friends –”

“I think when you fucked my girlfriend, it effectively ended our friendship, Fuckwad.”

He held the back of his neck and looked down.

“Wow,” he chuckled awkwardly, “Dickhead? Fuckwad? What’s next on your middle-school, name-calling roster?”

“How do you know Kaelyn, Shit-stain?”

He put his hands on the bar and looked at me sideways, drumming his fingers on the bar.

“So it’s not, ‘How could you do this to me?’ or ‘I thought we were friends?’ or even ‘How could you fuck my girlfriend?’ You’re just gonna fly right over the girl you were going to ask to marry you and land on some chick you just met?” He knocked on the wood. “See, this is why you were never right for her.
