Carolina"Longest. Shift. Ever," I groan into my phone's speaker as I slam my apartment door behind me, shucking off the black mini-apron I wear at my job as a waitress.Through the phone, Noah laughs. I kick off my shoes, not bothering to line them up neatly by the doormat, and pad through my small apartment toward the bedroom."You're laughing, but I'm serious. I swear, the customers today were ridiculous. It was like they were conspiring against me.""No, no, I don't mean to make light of your struggles," he says innocently. "Please, tell me more.""We ran out of zucchini, and the truck doesn't come until Thursday, so we had to strike a couple items off the menu. And guess what everyone wanted today?""The zucchini stuff?""Of course," I sigh. "So how were things on your end?"Noah and I make a habit of keeping in touch with each other regularly. I talk to him like this most days. We were close when we grew up together in foster care, and have stayed close since."Oh, you know," he

Evans2:45 AM.It's so dark in the bedroom that I can barely make out the body of the woman lying before me, spread out as I hold her ankles.I can only see her by the light from the alarm clock on my nightstand, big, red numbers.For two in the morning, she's being far too loud."Quiet," I remind her, sliding a hand under her ass to flip her onto her stomach. She moans as I do that, as if she didn't even hear me. I want to add her name to the reprimand, but to be honest, I don't even remember what she told me.Kaitlyn? Catherine? Katie?Something along those lines. It doesn't really matter. After all, this is the only night I'm planning on sharing with her.I grit my teeth, positioning myself behind her. There's no sense in taking things slow, savoring the foreplay. She's already wet, and I've been hard for a while, craving the release of an orgasm. I'm not exactly trying for romance, here.Of course, she starts to moan even more the second I'm inside her, so I remind her a second ti

CarolinaOn Sunday afternoon, I head over to Noah's place, as we discussed over the phone. I take the subway and walk the last few blocks on foot. Hopefully, he'll let me take a load off once I arrive.When I reach the address Noah texted to me, I'm met with a huge, impressive-looking townhouse.It looks old—brick foundations, black, wrought-iron gate out front. The gate hangs open, so I let myself past it, staring up at the massive house in awe.There's a little garden out front, climbing tendrils of ivy reaching from the trellises onto the house's facade. They arch over the windows, tiny white flowers blooming on the vines.I whistle quietly as I approach the front door. I knew that Noah had been doing well for himself, but I didn't know it was this well.I knock, then wait a few seconds before Noah appears in the doorway, grinning. He tackles me with a bear-hug, squeezing the air out of me."It's been way too long," he proclaims, ruffling my hair affectionately. "You look good!""G

EvansI usher the last candidate, a slightly older woman with a stooped posture, into my home office, guiding her to the plush chair in front of my desk.I've spent the entire day interviewing nannies with little success, so my hopes aren't exactly high as I walk around my desk to begin this final interview.My assistant set up the appointments, but I insisted on conducting the interviews myself. I need to find someone good. There's no point in hiring a nanny just to regret the choice later. I'm already going out on a limb with the whole process, so I want to do it right the first time.As we sit down, I say, "So. Before I ask you about yourself, let me explain a little more about the position.""Absolutely," she says, her voice crisp. She holds her handbag in her lap, her ankles crossed and posture stiff."I mostly just need some general help raising Archer. I spend a lot of time working, and don't always have the time to devote to keeping an eye on him. I'd need help with his meals,

Carolina"It was just bad luck," Noah says, following me up the basement steps. "Nothing but cheap, dirty tricks and bad luck."I smile smugly, glancing at him over my shoulder. "Spoken like a sore loser.""Just you wait—next time, it's gonna be all me."I take my coat off the coat rack, and Noah follows me to the door to see me out. I turn to hug him as I leave, and say, "If you want that to be true, you'd better get some practice in, because let me tell you—you're never gonna beat me playing like that."Noah releases me, scoffing, and I stick my tongue out at him as I head down the front steps."See you later!"He waves. "I'll shoot you a text next time I have some free time.""You better," I reply.Noah returns to his house, closing the door behind himself, and I make my way through his charming front garden to the sidewalk.I start to head back to the nearest subway station, but before I can get far, I pause. There's a little boy crying on the sidewalk ahead of me.The guy standin

EvansShe's... interesting, this stranger who just stopped on the sidewalk to give Brandon a toy. She very effectively stopped his crying, that's for sure. And I'm grateful for that. I don't have enough understanding of kids to be able to reason with Brandon when he's distressed, and it hurts to see him so upset.Now that I have the chance to look her in the eye, I'm also a little taken aback by how attractive she is. She has delicate, soft features, and in the glinting rays of sunlight that creep through the clouds above, her brown eyes glow like honey. Her dark brown hair is pulled into a messy bun, flyaways poking out in all directions."What's your name?" I ask her."I'm Carol.""Evans." I hold out a hand to shake hers. Her handshake is surprisingly firm for someone who just did a fake voice for a plastic dinosaur. "Nice to meet you.""You, too," she says. "Do you live around here?"Sheepishly, I point to my house, directly next to us. We didn't get far on our walk before things w

EvansNow that Brandon is down for the night, I have some time to myself. I sit down in my office to get some work done, pouring myself a glass of scotch with a single, large cube of ice. I spend about an hour in there, drafting a few emails to send out the next morning, before I hear a knock at the door.That'll be either Declan or Reed—whichever of them has arrived first for poker night.I get up to open the door, taking the scotch with me. It's an expensive single-malt that I know Declan in particular would be eager to try.It's Reed at the door."Hey, man," I say, inviting him inside. "Come on in. Is Declan running late or something?""Not sure," Reed says with a shrug, hanging up his jacket on the coat rack by the door. "You know how things are with him lately—between his company and his girl, he's a busy guy. He'll probably be here soon."Declan is the CEO of Dynasty, a company that manufactures exercise equipment. Between his company's new marketing direction and his recent eng

CarolinaI get off work at eight on Thursdays, which is much better than the days when I'm expected to stay and close. Since I've got plans tonight, I do my best to get out of the restaurant as quickly as possible."You need anything else from me?" I ask my manager, who's calculating the tips in the point-of-sale system.She barely looks up at me. "No, you're good. Thanks for all your hard work."I'm out of there in the blink of an eye, before she—or anyone else—can change their mind. Sometimes, the guys on the line will stop me before I can get to the back door, asking me to help with their cleanup. Even though it's not my responsibility, I usually try to help them, but tonight, someone's waiting on me.I untie the little black apron from my waist as I walk down the street, wadding it into a ball and tucking it into my purse. Everything in there will probably smell like grilled food later tonight, but I tell myself I'll clean it out later. Smelling like food after a long shift is one

CarolinaWarm water pools around my calves as I luxuriate in my apartment's cramped bathtub, doing my best to relax after a mid-shift at the restaurant.Olivia was the one who suggested it. While we were at the bar the other night, she told me that I seemed stressed, and that I should try to unwind after work. So, on my way home from work today, I stopped at a boutique to pick up some bath bombs and incense.When I got home, I lit a couple of candles, turned the lights low, and made myself a cup of rose hip tea. Incense is technically not allowed in my apartment—nor are candles—but I decided to give myself a pass on my landlord's behalf. I ordered some takeout and turned the ringer off on my phone. I lean my head back against the rim of the tub, taking a deep breath and doing my best to relax.As always, it's difficult. The second my mind has a free moment, my thoughts drift to the same place they always do—to the future.I'm stuck in a dead-end job, and I don't see any signs of that

CarolinaAfter window shopping for a while with Olivia the next day, we say our goodbyes, and I head home. Back in my apartment, I lounge on the couch for a while, staring at Evans's business card. My fingertips trace the embossed letters. I can't help but wonder if this is all an elaborate prank; what if I call him and end up on some radio show?Eventually, I dig my phone out of my pocket, sigh, and type in the number on the card. It rings three times before Evans picks up."Evans Armstrong," he says. It's a short greeting, almost cold."Evans? Er—Mr. Armstrong? I mean... sorry, um, Mr. Armstrong." I kick myself for the clumsy opening. In my head, I've been calling him Evans, but there's something very official about the business card and the way he answered the phone that reminds me that this is a professional relationship."Yes?" I can practically picture his arched eyebrow. He sounds thoroughly unamused."This is Carol Winters. You came by my apartment a couple of days ago to offe
