âI love this place!â she yells over the loud music, asking about my time here with my son, when he was alive. âYou and Scott came here, often?â she asks.
âYeah, many times. It has the best burgers.â
Sheâs looking at the menu, her eyes big at the portion size. âYouâll have to roll me out.â Just then, the music lowers a little and we donât have to yell at each other. When I came to pick her up tonight, sheâd been crying. Iâll try to do anything to make her forget what tomorrow truly is.
Our server comes over, kneeling, flirting with me. âYou both are a beautiful couple.â Yet, her arm is all over mine.
âUm, listen, bitch, you better step back a bit,â Holland begins because the server thinks Holland is mine, yet, sheâs fruitlessly flirting with me.
She smiles at Holland, too. âOh, honey, Iâm sorry. I didnât mean to overstep, as a matter of fact, Iâd take you both in the mix.â My mouth falls when Holland stops to process all sheâs said. âSorry, honey, I wasnât coming onto just your husband, I hadnât gotten to you yet, sugar.â And she winks at Holland. âSo, what would you two beautiful people like to drink?â
After she takes our order, Holland twists her body toward me, and sheâs somewhere between hysterics and anger. âHey, wife?â I ask, going off of the serverâs assumptions of us. âYou got pretty territorial there,â I tease, loving it, seeing green in her actions.
âWell, she assumed we were a couple and she blatantly flirted with you so I had to stake my fictional claim.â
âSure, whatever you have to tell yourself.â
By the way her jaw is almost sitting on the table, sheâs still a little shell-shocked. âDid that just happen?â she asks. I nod yes and she has her phone whipped out so fast. âWait until I tell Teagan. Sheâs going to flip her lid. According to her, sheâs the only girl who can hit on me.â Even in the absurdness of it all, Iâm glad our server has given Holland something worth laughing about. She surely will need it to get through tomorrow.
