"You excited for tonight?" Elliott asked as he placed handfuls of glassware on the counter next to me.
We had an hour before opening and I was counting the cash in the till to ensure we had the right amount for the night.
"What for?" I replied without looking up from the bills in my hands.
"Mickey called your friend Teagan. She's coming for a trial night."
Mickey hadn't told me that so I didn't know. Or he did and I just wasn't paying attention. "Cool."
Elliott polished beer glasses with a rag. "Yeah. If she can win the crowd, the gig is hers."
Mickey walked by, his intentions to go outside for a smoke.
"Hey, Mick!" Elliott hollered. "You think this new chick can replace Ava?"
Mickey's glare could have frozen over hell. Elliott chilled beside me, and then our boss went down the stairs without a word.
Maria watched this exchange from the platform, where she adjusted a stool and a mic for Teagan's arrival. "Guys, don't bring up Ava to him. You know he's still angry about that."
"What?" Elliott scoffed beside me. "That she disappeared without saying a word? I'd be angry, too. Thought we were all friends over here."
Maria waggled her finger at him. "Behave, mi amor."
Alessandro didn't say anything, choosing to observe us with mild interest. He stayed in a pensive mood as he deposited tables and chairs around the platform where Teagan would sing.
I found it interesting that he had nothing to add – even though he was usually a reserved guy by nature. Afterall, Sandro and Ava had been close friends during her tenure as 1001 Nights headlining singer.
I wondered if he knew something the rest of us didn't.
Alessandro didn't meet my gaze.
A thought struck me, reminding me of the similarities between Ava and Inga. Both appeared saccharinely sweet on the outside. Yet when push came to shove, they suddenly vanished without a single trace.
