I went to work that day as if everything was normal. As if I hadn’t cracked in two and glued the seams back together. Or better yet, as if Tray hadn’t fused me back together until the glue set. How long it would hold this time before it gave way again was something I didn’t want to think about.

Tray tiptoed around me, his worry evident in every line of his face. But he didn’t question if I was okay to go to work. Didn’t question me at all. I was evasive about our plans for that night, wanting to make sure he’d be home for our trip to the fancy hotel I’d booked the night before. I had a surprise, I told him, and he viewed that statement with more trepidation than interest.

All things considered, I really couldn’t blame him.

He followed that up with his own announcement that we needed to talk tonight, that it was important. Since I figured it likely related to my needing a double dose of therapy ASAP, I swallowed my usual complaints and nodded.

I seriously doubted therapy could help patch me up, but I didn’t have many options left.

Or…none.

When I got back from my shift at Vinnie’s, I found the apartment empty. Tray had left a note on the fridge.

At the gym with a client. Back as soon as I can.

Carly didn’t appear to be around either, but I figured she probably had to work tonight. Or maybe she’d had a date with her salad dude. He might be a nice guy. Either way, I wasn’t going to hassle her about it again. I wanted her to have a social life and besides, a guy from the Salad Hut was definitely the lesser of two evils when compared to Costas.

Who hadn’t been such a dick last night—or this morning—but still.

Since I was alone, I decided to take a quick shower and pack a bag for that night’s hotel sojourn. If Tray even wanted to go. He might tell me that now really wasn’t the time for romance. Of course he was right. But I’d booked the damn hotel yesterday before I’d lost my mind.

Sometimes you couldn’t schedule breakdowns. It sucked, but that was life.

I debated packing the lone teddy I had buried in the bottom of my underwear drawer, finally deciding to hide it in my bag under the boy shorts and tank I usually wore to bed. We’d see if it was a teddy night. It might just be a stay-fully-dressed-and-watch-TV-on-top-of-the-covers deal. I didn’t really relish paying for a hotel room to do that when we could do it at home for free, but I was trying to go with the flow.

This night of supposed romance was for Tray anyway. He could set the tone.

After I’d finished packing, I tried to figure out what to wear. I settled on jeans and a snug red strapless top I borrowed from Carly. Not exactly my usual fare, and I definitely didn’t fill it out the way she did, but it was better than my holey gym T-shirts.
