Beschwipste Vorsätze
"Auf ein bescheidenes Jahr, das in wenigen Wochen einem viiiel besseren weichen wird."
Melina erhob so schwungvoll ihren Prosecco, dass ein paar Tropfen überschwappten.
"Upsi", sie kicherte und lehnte sich seitlich gegen ihre Mitbewohnerin Lara.
Die gluckste ebenfalls vergnügt und hob statt ihres Glases gleich die restliche Proseccoflasche hoch.
"Auf unser Keksimperium, das einschlagen wird, wie eine Bombe!"
Die Frauen stießen an und tranken. Melina leerte ihr tulpenförmiges Glas in einem Zug und ließ sich mit ihm in der Hand zurück in die Kissen sinken. Ihr Kopf war leicht und es war ihr einen Hauch schwindelig. Sie war eindeutig bereits beschwipst. Kein Wunder, sie, die sonst nie Alkohol trank, hatte gerade hintereinander zwei Gläser quasi gestürzt. Das bemerkte auch Lara.
"Langsam, Cookie, sonst ist der Abend in fünfzehn Minuten vorbei." Die Freundinnen giggelten und kuschelten sich aneinander.
"Die Tradition des Monatsanfangs. Auf den Ersten", bestätigte Melina und bemühte sich, deutlich zu sprechen. Lara goss ihr neu ein und schob einen weiteren Toast nach: "Auf die Freundschaft – wer braucht schon Männer."
Melina erhob ihr Glas, nahm dann übermütig einen großen Schluck und verschluckte sich prompt.
Weil sie die Lippen geschlossen hielt, suchte sich das sprudelnde Getränk den einzigen Ausweg, der ihm blieb – nach oben. Sie hustetet stumm und der Prosecco schoss ihr aus der Nase. Blitzartig setzte sie sich auf, keuchte, suchte hektisch nach den Küchentüchern und tupfte sich und die Kissen der alten Couch ab so gut es ging.
"Shit." Lara stellte die Flasche neben dem Sofa ab und lehnte sich ebenfalls vor. Sie hatte den Arm um Melina gelegt und hielt ihr ihre langen dunklen Haare aus dem Gesicht.
Unwillkürlich musste Melina lachen.
"Geht schon." Sie tauchte wieder auf und stellte ihr noch halb volle Glas auf den kleinen Tisch vor sich.
"Ich hol mir schnell ein frisches Shirt." Sie stand auf, stabilisierte ihr Gleichgewicht und machte sich auf in ihr Zimmer. "Bin gleich wieder da – nicht weggehen."
Sie hörte Laras glockenhelles Lachen hinter sich. Wie immer, wenn ihre Freundin lachte, fühlte sich Melina unwillkürlich an die Fee Tinkerbell aus dem Disneyklassiker Peter Pan erinnert. In ihrem Zimmer war es dunkel und weil sie beim Hereinkommen den Lichtschalter verfehlte, stieß sie zwei Schritte weiter mit dem Fuß gegen ihr Bett.
"Autsch", fluchte sie leise und schaltete die Lichterkette über ihrem Bett an.
Das nasse T-Shirt zog sie aus und warf es mit einem professionellen 3-Punkte-Wurf in ihren offenen Wäschekorb.
"Yes", sagte sie und drehte sich bestens gelaunt um. Im Kleiderschrank waren kaum saubere T-Shirts.
Sie hatte die Wahl zwischen einem ausgeleierten und mehr grauen als schwarzen und einem pinken mit dem Aufdruck einer weißen Schleife. Es war von einem Spendenlauf zugunsten der Brustkrebshilfe, an dem sie vor Jahren teilgenommen hatte, als ihre Mama krank gewesen war.
Irgendwie fühlte sie sich nach ihrem letzten Jahr auch ein wenig wie eine Überlebende, auch wenn selbst sie zugeben musste, dass es nicht ganz so lebensbedrohlich gewesen war. Die unvorhergesehene Trennung, Job weg, Wohnung weg. Phasenweise hatte sie sich dennoch intensiv gewünscht, die Erde würde sich unter ihr auftun.

Story
Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

Story
Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Story
Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.
