Swag Bags And Swindlers (2015)
““Hi.”
Ty and I gazed at each other, neither of us saying anything else. We were caught in some sort of mutual tractor beam that we couldn’t pull away from but wouldn’t allow either of us to think up a sentence.
It had been a weird day. Now, it was a weird night. I didn’t know what was going on. Maybe there was a full moon.
I didn’t want to take my eyes off Ty long enough to look.
The lighting in the parking lot was awesome—diminished to reduce the store’s carbon footprint, supposedly, but I fig...ured what they really wanted to diminish was the electric bill—and Ty looked great. Tall, handsome, well-groomed, wearing an obscenely expensive suit, while I looked as if I’d worked two jobs today, one of which was as a minimum wage grunt who’d spent the last four hours hauling crappy merchandise around.
We’d broken up. I shouldn’t care how I looked. Right?
“You sounded . . . worried . . . on the phone today,” Ty said. “I wanted to make sure you were okay.”
That was a lame reason for him to drive all the way up here from his office downtown.MoreLess
