“Thanks,” Duane began. “Let me give it a quick look over.”
“Okay,” Katie said with a smile.

“Heather, you know you have to trade shifts. We’re really tight for Sundays.”
“I know, but no one can trade, and my mom will kill me if I don’t go this thing.” Heather replied in her whiny tone. It wasn’t the first time Heather asked for a weekend day off.

“She looked familiar.” Heather continued.
Duane just shrugged and looked back to Katie. She was copying information from a paper she’d brought in. Duane assumed it was her references’ contact information.

“Who was that woman?” Heather asked loudly. “Wasn’t that your ex?”
Duane glared at her. Heather had worked in the store just long enough to see the final weeks of his affair with Marissa.

Duane moved behind the bar and wiped down the counter while stealing glances at the girl, Katie.
“I’ve already done that.” Heather said annoyed.

“Just sit wherever you’d like. Did you want any water to drink?”
“No thanks.” She smiled again. Duane wondered if he could actually work with her. Employee dating obviously wasn’t allowed. If she worked here long enough to get to know him, then she could move to a different store.

“Here you go.” Duane handed her the application and a pen.
“Thank you.”
