I make it to the bar in under thirty minutes and spend the next half hour anxiously cleaning the already immaculate bar. Cora did a great job closing last night, the place is exactly how I like it. I’m going to have to make it up to her. Honestly I think I need to hire another bartender, we’re getting more and more busy. I should really give her a raise or a promotion or something. She’s more than earned it. I end up sitting on the customer side of the bar and I basically stare at the front door while I swing and kick my legs anxiously. Finally, Ryann arrives, but she’s not alone. She has three people with her. Megan, Darrien and Aaron. Shit, how am I going to have a proper private conversation with her in front of all of them? I left the front door open so they let themselves in. Darrien greets me with a small smile and Aaron nods. The two women are a little less friendly. Megan raises an eyebrow at me and

Ryann crosses her arms over her chest.

“Well?” She says expectantly and I sigh.

“I suppose you want an explanation for why I would call Harry’s best friend over the day after he essentially dumped me.” I answer flatly.

“Pretty much, yeah.” Megan chimes in. My eyes dart to the guys nervously. Darrien is nice but Aaron intimidates me a little, he’s so big and quiet. It makes him kind of unapproachable.

“Uh… is there any chance we can have this talk in private?” I ask weakly. Ryann shrugs and Megan laughs.

“There’s no point. They’ll know everything we talk about sooner or later. Besides, Harry sent a LONG and detailed message to the group chat last night and pretty much every hour since then so I doubt there’s much you can say that we haven’t all heard already.” Ryann says, a little sympathetically. I take a deep breath and let it out again.

“Fine. In that case, I’m an idiot. I screwed up and I need your help to get Harry back.” I tell them boldly. I honestly expect them to say no, I mean why would they want to help the girl who screwed over their friend?
