“Let me text my boss.”

Willow squealed into the phone.

I rolled my eyes at her before pulling up my text thread with my boss.

“Hey, I know this is super last minute. But, do you think I could take the weekend off?”

I was the bartender at this high class restaurant while I was still in school.

Yes, I went back to get my Psychology degree.

A chime rung out.

“Your lucky it’s summertime and everyone wants extra hours lol. But yes! Have fun and bring me back something wherever you go.”

Well.

I guess I’m going back.

TWENTY SIX

We pulled up.

It felt different.

There was no anticipation at what tonight was going to bring in.

There was no curiosity or mystery.

There was no cat and mouse.

My boyfriend, well ex at the moment, was in the next city in a cabin in the woods.

His brother was locked up in jail.

It was a whole new ballpark.

“You look so cute.”

I turned to see Willow walking up to me and embracing me in a hug.

Glancing down, I look at my normal jean shorts and my halter top that squished what little boobs I had together.

My blonde hair was straightened and lay like a river down my back with two braids at the front.

I think I’ve been watching too much of Game of Thrones.

“Thank you, so do you.” and she did.

Her curly hair was shorter and she had bangs now. Her cute self was in a long sleeve cropped top and high waisted shorts.

“Let’s walk in. Charlie and the others should be coming soon.”

I nodded before we start our walk to the gates.

We get our tickets before entering the fair.

The sun was getting lower since we decided to come later, but it was still so packed.
