Chapter One
Valentine’s Day was a Friday, and it wasn’t much different from most others. As usual, Nina left work at 5:28 and walked down to the parking lot of Volkmann Industries with a couple of her colleagues. After a day cooped up in the beige-and-gray tedium of the office, it was a welcome chance to blow off some steam, and their laughter danced against the concrete walls of the building they were only too glad to leave behind for the weekend.
Are you sure you guys don’t want to come with me?
Jazmine wheedled one more time. "C’mon. It’ll be fun. We’ll go to that Thai-Japanese place on Lakeview, hit the dinner buffet…they have à la carte makimono and a martini bar, remember? Perfect. Comfort food while we get wasted and talk about how this stupid holiday is a meaningless corporate invention designed to suck everybody’s wallet dry through the soulless application of guilt, greed and—"
And eventually someone will take you home,
Arielle cut in, "because it’s two in the morning and you’re wandering around Riverfront Park, rambling drunkenly about how you’re one more bad date away from deciding to become a reclusive cat lady. You know, when you say it that way, it does sound like a pretty lit start to the V-Day weekend."
Nina laughed and shook her head as Jazmine clutched their friend’s arm.
"Yes! You understand! Come on, Ari. You said you didn’t even want to go on that stupid blind date thing anyway. I’m depending on you. Nina’s let me down. Nina has plans."
A cold breeze rippled across the icy asphalt, causing them to pick up their pace as they headed for their cars.
Shit, it’s cold,
Nina murmured, rooting through her purse for her keys. She flashed Jazmine a smile. "Hey, Nina already apologized, so don’t blame me! I’d come if I could, girl. Promise."
The black ends of crushed winter leaves and tire-shorn dirty slush fringed the lot, and the sky looked heavy and gray, promising more wintry weather to come. It was a sight almost as depressing as her friend’s dejected grimace.
I know you would,
Jazmine admitted, shaking off the pout she was pulling for laughs, "and, seriously, you guys know I don’t really wanna make you feel bad for having fun without me, right?"
We know,
Nina assured her, as Arielle hugged Jaz’s arm. And we don’t feel bad at all. Not even a little tiny bit!
Nina giggled and poked out her tongue, and Jazmine wrinkled her nose.
Nice. Really nice, Nina. Oh, man… You know, it just sucks when plans change at the last minute. That’s all I’m saying.
Nina slowed her steps a little so she could give her friend an affectionate bump on the shoulder.
We know that too,
she said, glancing at Arielle, past Jazmine’s puffy, wind-tousled curls. And it’s not your fault Jamie was an asshole. Look at it this way, at least you dodged the bullet early.
Jazmine snorted. Yeah, and I dodged a nice dinner, maybe a gift and some good dick too. Not that I was in it just for that, but—
Sure,
Arielle teased. Sure you weren’t.
I wasn’t! The first couple times we hung out, he seemed really cool. I liked him. I mean, it wasn’t serious. It’s not like I was naming our imaginary cats or anything.
Cats?
Nina laughed.
Cats, kids…whatever.
Jaz shrugged. "I’m just saying, it was super early, but he seemed nice. Not the type of person who’d blow somebody off by text, like a complete fucking asshole, three hours before a goddamn date. On Valentine’s Day, no goddamn less. Dude didn’t owe me anything, sure, but come on."
Asshole,
Arielle agreed, patting Jaz’s hand.
I know, right? I guess I should have been like a fuckin’ lawyer and had the ‘but what are we?’ talk early enough that I could have made other plans. Nobody’s going to be free now.
Oh, of course they are,
Arielle said breezily. If it’s that important, get out your phone, pick some random guy on some random app, and—
Yaaaay.
Jaz fluttered her fingers in the air, her face mournful. Desperation! It’s, like, my favorite perfume. Nah, I don’t think so. It’d be too weird. See, this is what I hate about this time of year. So much pressure, and so much bullshit. You know? It brings out the worst in people. Like Black Friday, but for sex.
Nina’s fingers closed around her keys. Her gray Kia Rio was parked a little closer than Arielle’s old blue Civic, and she felt guilty for how eager she was to climb into her car and head off to her own Valentine’s Day weekend.
Jazmine could joke and insist as much as she wanted that she hadn’t been that invested, and maybe it was even true. All the same, Nina was far too familiar with the sour, bruising crush of rejection to take her friend’s protests at face value, and guilt eased its way into the pit of her stomach.
You know,
she said doubtfully, the keys jangling in her hand, I could always call Trey and reschedule. I mean, there’s the whole weekend, and—
Don’t you dare!
Jazmine batted at her wrist. "I’m messing with you. Well, mostly. I’m pissed, sure, but I don’t want to drag you down with me. You’ve got your night planned, and the last thing I wanna do is take you away from Mr. Dreamypants. Just, I don’t know, think of me when—well, no. Don’t, actually. Don’t think of me when he’s got your legs up around—"
Jaz!
Nina warned as they both broke into another peal of giggles.
Look,
Arielle said, pulling her phone from her pocket, why don’t I ask Meghan if this blind date girl has a friend?
"Uh…wait. I’m disillusioned, but I’m not ready to give up dudes entirely," Jazmine protested, a hint of surprised laughter coloring her words.
Oh, shh.
Arielle was already texting. You don’t have to. Anyway, who knows? She probably knows some guys. We’ll find out. Maybe the four of us could go to dinner, just have fun. No expectations, no big deal. Then I don’t have to be a flake and break plans, and you don’t have to be miserable, drinking alone with your cats. Plus, if either of our dates is creepy, we can escape together. Sound fair?
Jazmine pursed her lips. "I guess… But what about your blind date? She was expecting an actual date. I don’t want to fuck that up for somebody."
Eh.
Arielle wrinkled her nose. If she hasn’t got enough compassion to accommodate my poor, heartbroken friend—
Hey!
Then she and I don’t have a future. Same goes for if she’s not down for a sashimi special and sake.
"Well, when you put it like that…"
Nina laughed along with the two of them, almost missing the single life that she’d had a few months ago. I wish I could come with,
she said, even as the wistfulness tapered away. I really do.
No, screw you!
Jazmine taunted playfully. Find your own lesbian. Anyway, fuck off, Nina. You’re going to have an amazing weekend with your amazing boyfriend. You bitch.
Arielle glanced up from her phone. How is Trey, anyway?
They were almost at Nina’s car. Tiny flakes of snow began to fall, melting onto the slushy ground. Nina bit her lip.
He’s good. Been busy, y’ know. The whole pre-tax-day rush starts soon, so he’s got a bunch of new clients who think they’re ahead of the game. I think he could use some time off. We’re going out for a meal tonight, and then—
"Yeah, yeah. We all know what you’re doing later."
Shut up, Jaz,
Arielle said, in gentle admonishment.
Nina just grinned.
Her friends had no idea about the details of her sex life with Trey—or the nature of their relationship at all, come to that—and she much preferred it that way. She had no real desire to explain to
