“I may think I look good, but I'm glad to know | look good to you.”

We arrive at the club and walk into the restaurant side. The music here is quieter, but it’s still loud, preparing

you to go into the dance club side of the business. We get a table and order food.

Dinner is actually enjoyable. We all get along well, and the conversation comes easily. I've not spent a lot of time

with Anders, but | can see that his father has done a good job of training him to be the next Alpha. He's good at

putting you at ease, keeping the conversation going and the dynamics between him and Clint are fun to watch.

They act like brothers, antagonizing yet still supporting each other. Cali and I laugh a lot during dinner and they

both seem thrilled to have elicited our laughter and smiles.

When we finish, it’s still a bit early to go to the club, so we get a high-top table at the bar. Since we're at a

shifter club, the drinking age is much younger than the human bars. It’s why we chere.

“So Lily, why don’t you tell Calista that she should agree to go out with me. Anders says.

“Cali can make up her own mind, Anders.”

“You went out with Clint and that seemed to go well.” He retorts.

Cali turns to me. “You went out with Clint?” She looks offended. | hadn't had a chance to tell her yet.

“We had breakfast this morning. | haven't had a chance to talk to you about it yet.” | give her a meaningful look.

“I had a great time. | hope you did too, Lily bud.” Clint says.

I turn to look at Clint.

“Lily bud?” Cali asks.

He smiles, but his eyes never leave mine. “It’s my nfor Lily. She’s my Lily bud.”

I look at Clint. “I'm not your anything.” | retort.

“You're my trainee, you're my lab partner, you're my study-buddy...should | go on?”

| roll my eyes at him.

“So, Calista Johns, you really won't agree to go out with me?” Anders asks her.

“Anders...”

He holds up his hands, looking irritated. “Clint, can | see you for a moment.” He says and they walk away.

“Oh my goddess. Do you think that | offended him?” Cali asks me.

“I would have to say yes. He's an Alpha. He's not used to being turned down.”

As we're talking, the music in the bar turns off. Cali and | look around.

“What's going on?”

It's quiet for a moment, then we hear the sound of horrible singing.

“Love, | get so lost sometimes

Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart”

“Oh my goddess, is that someone singing karoke? They're terrible.”

We look around. Anders has a microphone and is walking toward us. Clint is

walking beside him, and he has a....is that a boombox that he’s carrying over his head?

“When | want to run away, | drive off in my car

But whichever way | go

| cback to the place you are, Cali.”

“Are they singing that song from ‘Say Anything‘?” She asks me.

“Oh yeah. And Clint has the damn boombox. Where did he even get one?

“Oh my goddess, Anders is so...”

“Awful.” | finish for her.

“Really, terribly awful.” She says.

| know we're both frowning, looking at him.

| turn to Clint as Anders continues his assault on our ears. He has a smug look on his face, acting the perfect

wingman to his best friend and Alpha.

| shake my head at him and the brightest smile I've ever seen breaks across his. face.

“In your eyes, Cali

+15 BONDS

The light, the heat (in your eyes)

| am complete, Cali (in your eyes)

| see the doorway (in your eyes)

To a thousand churches, Cali (in your eyes)

The resolution (in your eyes)

Of all the fruitless searches (in your eyes)”

Clint is singing the background ‘in your eyes’. His voice is about a thousand times better than Anders who

sounds like he’s tone deaf.

“Oh, | see the light and the heat (in your eyes)

Oh, | wanna take you on a date, Cali

| wanna take you anywhere you want to go, Cali

Please go on a date with me, Cali.”

Anders starts to go off song, specifically asking Cali to go out with him.

The entire place has started telling Cali to say yes. Now they are starting to beg her so Anders will stop singing.

Really, it’s that bad.

“For the love of the goddess and all that’s holy Cali, please say yes and put all of us out of our misery.”

“Okay! I'll go out with you!” She says.

“Oh thank the goddess! | wasn’t sure how much more my ears could take.” Clint says, lowering the boombox.

Anders turns off the microphone and looks at Cali. “Really, you'll go out with me?”

“Only if you promise to NEVER sing again.” The entire place cheers at that. Clint takes the microphone and

returns it and the boombox to goddess only knows where and the music starts up again.

Anders looks like the happiest man on the planet. “Are you ready to He asks us, but he’s looking at Cali.

She looks atbefore turning back. “Yeah, let's go.”
