Unrequited
Chapter 1
"Alex? Where'd you go? I've been looking for you for ten minutes!"
Alex rubbed her eyes and dropped her cell phone back into her pocket. Slowly, she raised her head and looked into her sister's eyes. "Yeah, I… I got a call."
"Are you okay? You look down."
Alex sighed. "Yeah, I'm okay. Just… disappointed."
Liz's brows knotted together. "What happened?"
Alex tried to smile. "I was hoping he would meet me here, but he, uh… he got called away and so," she shrugged, "he can't."
"Oh. Well… okay…" Liz wasn't sure who he was or what the rest of the story was, but she could tell talking about it wasn't going to improve Alex's mood. "Come with me. You know who just came in? Theresa Withers. She wants to see you."
Together, the two sisters walked back to the loud, crowded bar room.
