Kyle was talking in the back with one of his other employees. So much had changed in a short time that he just was on excitement overload. He hadn't gone back to bartending since he'd been sober. It would be all too tempting, and he was sure if dionysus found him again he would end up six feet under. This place was pretty cool, they let him advertise for his band, and understood that in just a month he'd be leaving for their first tour. The manager had promised he'd have a part time position still when he got back.
Kyle came out wth a grin, his eyes lighting up when he saw Mona. "Hey, babe!" He picked her up in a giant hug. Mona had been a tough cookie when they first started dating, and she was still pretty stiff compared to his energy. But, they'd been through a lot together, he adored her.
