"Hey," she said. "I'm Heather." She came over and gave me a quick hug. "Marcy," I said. "I made stir-fry beef and veggies for dinner," Heather said. "Great." "So you're the new receptionist at Melody's." "Yup. But I've never been inside." They both looked at me with their eyes popped out a little. I shrugged and raised my hands up in a 'what can I tell you' gesture. "I peeked into the front room once, but it was empty." "You ever been there?" I asked Heather. "Twice, but it's not my scene." "Oh." That was the only time we mentioned Melody's. Heather was studying to get her master's in library sciences. So she immediately went up about a thousand points in my book. As a book person I'm extremely fond of librarians. And as it turned out, Evan met Heather in a library. They both had read almost all of my favorite authors. When the conversation turned to TV and movies, I found out that they liked Star Wars, Star Trek, Breaking Bad, Big Bang Theory, and The Walking Dead. They were also Dallas Cowboy fans. Woo-hoo. Dinner was delicious. Afterwards we sat on their backyard porch, and Heather served brownies she made from scratch. I expected the conversation to turn to sex. It never did.

Monday, right before noon, Evan came in with Jean-Luc a few seconds behind him. Jean-Luc was roughhousing with him, bumping the side of his arm into Evan's shoulder. Jean-Luc was broader, more classically handsome, dressed in more expensive clothes. Evan had more of a sweet-sensitive intelligent air about him. Evan leaned over my desk and gave me a peck on my cheek. Jean-Luc gave me a big smile. I thought it might have a little bit of a friendly leer to it, and I wondered what, if anything, Evan had told him. Swipe, swipe. Jean-Luc clapped a hand on Evan's shoulder and raised his eyebrows. Evan smiled. Evan brushed his fingers over my hand. "See ya on the way out, Marcy." "Yup." They went in. I twisted around and watched their asses as they passed through the double doors. Nice. I thought back to Zen Sushi. What was it that Evan had said? I couldn't remember. Something. I wracked my brain. 'But you get it, right?' No. I did not get it. What was I missing? Hhhhmmmn. They looked very happy and relaxed when they came out. Jean-Luc left but Evan hovered at my desk, waiting while I swiped someone in. "Come to our house for dinner on Wednesday?" "Uh, okay," I said. "Seven?" "Sure, I guess. See ya then." He left. I opened my book and stared at it, unseeing. What the hell was going on? What did I ...
