Jessica asked him to meet her in the hotel bar in an hour so they could talk. Eddie changed out of his sweaty, wet clothes and into a pair of worn blue jeans and button down shirt. With nothing much else to do, he rode the elevator and sat at the bar a half hour early. The low lighting and maroon décor was perfect for crying in your beer or finagling a one-night stand. The Braves game was on one television beside the bar, a boxing match by a pair of welterweights on the other. He ordered a beer and stared at the baseball game, following nothing. Two innings in and he couldn’t even tell a passing patron what the score was when the game went to commercial. “Starting without me?” Jessica said, settling onto the barstool next to him. Jessica had changed as well into low riding hip huggers with a V-neck shirt that revealed the red straps of her bra. She had filled out a smidge during the two plus years they had been apart.
