One True Loves
“The register has been tallied. The sales floor is clean. Tina went home. I’m done. I can get in the car and go. But I’m just standing in the dark stockroom. Thinking about Sam.
My phone rings and I pick it up to see that it’s Jesse. Just like that, Sam flies out of my head, replaced by the man he replaced.
“Hey,” Jesse says when I answer. “I thought I’d meet you at the store.”
“Oh,” I say, surprised. I just assumed I’d meet him at my parents’ house once I’d grabbed my things.
“Is that cool?”
“S...ure,” I say, shrugging. “Yeah. That’s good. I’m still here.”
“Well, that’s good,” he says. “Because I’m outside the front door.”
I start to laugh as I head toward the front.
“Are you serious?” I say, but he doesn’t need to answer because as I step onto the sales floor from the stockroom, I see him through the glass doors.
He is silhouetted by the streetlights in the parking lot. His body, in a heavy jacket and relaxed pants, fills the glass.MoreLess
