Excerpt
Maguire
“I love this place!” she yells over the loud music, asking
about my time here with my son, when he was alive. “You and Scott came here,
often?” she asks.
“Yeah, many times. It has the best burgers.”
She’s looking at the menu, her eyes big at the portion size.
“You’ll have to roll me out.” Just then, the music lowers a little and we don’t
have to yell at each other. When I came to pick her up tonight, she’d been
crying. I’ll try to do anything to make her forget what tomorrow truly
is.
Our server comes over, kneeling, flirting with me. “You both
are a beautiful couple.” Yet, her arm is all over mine.
“Um, listen, bitch, you better step back a bit,” Holland
begins because the server thinks Holland is mine, yet, she’s fruitlessly
flirting with me.
She smiles at Holland, too. “Oh, honey, I’m sorry. I didn’t
mean to overstep, as a matter of fact, I’d take you both in the mix.” My mouth
falls when Holland stops to process all she’s said. “Sorry, honey, I wasn’t
coming onto just your husband, I hadn’t gotten to you yet, sugar.” And she
winks at Holland. “So, what would you two beautiful people like to
drink?”
After she takes our order, Holland twists her body toward
me, and she’s somewhere between hysterics and anger. “Hey, wife?” I ask, going
off of the server’s assumptions of us. “You got pretty territorial there,” I
tease, loving it, seeing green in her actions.
“Well, she assumed we were a couple and she blatantly
flirted with you so I had to stake my fictional claim.”
“Sure, whatever you have to tell yourself.”
By the way her jaw is almost sitting on the table, she’s
still a little shell-shocked. “Did that just happen?” she asks. I nod yes and
she has her phone whipped out so fast. “Wait until I tell Teagan. She’s going
to flip her lid. According to her, she’s the only girl who can hit on me.” Even
in the absurdness of it all, I’m glad our server has given Holland something
worth laughing about. She surely will need it to get through tomorrow.
