For the record, I didn’t know that Chet worked at Fuego. He’d mentioned work shifts in passing a time or two. Never to me, but I’d overheard at the office. So when he came to a stop in front of the cozy corner booth where we sat, distracting ourselves by watching the foot traffic on the sidewalks outside, I went mute, my brain unable to connect the reality of the moment with the memory of me kneeling between his legs the week before. It’d made sitting across from him at work all week interesting, too. I’d fought off boners that popped up with the unpredictability of a whack-a-mole game.

“Morning. Whoa. Not what I was expecting.” To Chet’s credit, the falter in his smile would’ve been undetectable if I hadn’t gotten so well acquainted with his lips.

“Chet Pynchon. Wow. I had no idea you worked here.” Mom seemed a little rattled, too.

“No reason for you to,” he said pleasantly.

“You look very well.” She cut a quick sideways look at me, then emptied her silverware from the napkin it was rolled in.

“Thank you.” The way he’d spoken suggested he wasn’t done, and the second I caught a dangerous twinkle in his eye, I stiffened in the booth. If he used that sharp-ass tongue on my mom when she was low, I’d hop the fucking table to choke him before he could finish blinking. But after a quick glance in my direction, he pulled a pen from his back pocket. “So. We’ve got Bloody Marys—”

“Yes, please. Two,” I interrupted.

“I wasn’t—” He started to snap at me the way he would at the office, then bit the rest off with another congenial smile. “Our Bloodies are really good. I’ll go get those started and let you look at the menu.”

Mom stared in the direction that Chet had gone long after he’d vanished around a corner, and then she turned her attention on me. She was a shrewd woman, even wrapped in a cloud of depression. Even on her worst days, I’d had to be on my guard when I wanted to keep something from her because she had that mom ESP that could detect secrets I didn’t even know I had. But she only looked me over for a moment before asking, “How’s Nate. Have you seen him lately?” My mom had adored him since the moment she met him on Bid Day freshman year.

“Still so damn in love it’s annoying.” I grinned.

She smacked me lightly on the arm as I filled her in on Nate and Eric shenanigans. There were fewer now, obviously, since I no longer shared a house with them. Then we moved on to my other roommates.

Chet delivered our Bloody Marys and took our order, and I shoved him to the back of my mind—except for the points I caught myself staring at him, which, okay, was fairly frequently since Fuego’s brunch was popular and kept him bustling around the dining room.

“Be right back,” I told my mom, sliding from the booth after Chet dropped off our pancakes.
