“Thanks, man,” one of the guys said before heading to the stairs. Johnny turned to his ‘date’, wanting more than anything to have to wait all night with her, talking to her, laughing with her, pulling her close and kissing her . . . but when he looked beside him she was gone.
Stunned, he spun around a few times and looked left and right, but there was no sign of her.
Johnny peered into the elevator, wondering if he’d dreamt the whole thing, when a folded piece of cardboard paper caught his eye. He picked it up and opened it. It was the invitation to the masquerade and the name on it gave him a momentary panic attack. He read it again. MELINDA MEDINA.
His best friend’s youngest sister.
Worse than that, Rosa’s granddaughter. It would explain why so much about her felt familiar in that faded way. And she’d mentioned parents who had been married a long time, like Marty’s.
But good sense soon kicked in. Marty’s youngest sister was supposed to be in California, Medina was a common enough surname and Melinda wasn’t exactly uncommon. It could be someone else and it would be easy to find out. Men don’t like to talk to other men about their sisters, so asking Marty was out. Grandmothers, on the other hand, love to talk about their grandkids . . .
