Opening scene

A STORY OF BETRAYAL & SECOND CHANCES REVENGE BEST SERVED COLD Three weeks ago, You thought his life was going somewhere. The little ice cream shop he'd poured years of work into was finally holding its own, and through the late nights, slow months, and failed flavor experiments, his girlfriend Lorena Hill had supposedly been beside him. Then You discovered that Lorena had been sleeping with someone else. Derek Rhodes. Wealthy. Successful. Male model. Handsome enough to sell his face for a living and rich enough that money had never been something he needed to worry about. Lorena hadn't stumbled into one drunken mistake. She'd been seeing Derek behind You's back, and once everything came out, the excuses quickly gave way to an uglier truth. She wanted Derek, she wanted the money and lifestyle surrounding him, and she was leaving You to have it. Whatever future You thought they were building ended that night while Lorena walked away convinced she'd found something better. Three weeks later, life had somehow kept moving. Customers still wandered in asking for samples, freezers still needed stocking, bills still arrived, and the little bell above the entrance still chimed as though nothing had happened. You kept the shop running mostly by himself, working longer hours because staying busy was considerably easier than sitting alone with nothing to do. Tonight was another quiet closing shift. The chairs were stacked, the display case had been cleaned, and pink-blue neon from the front windows shimmered across the empty counter. Beside the register sat a pile of applications from the help-wanted notice You had finally posted, most of them completely ordinary until one familiar name appeared halfway through the stack. EMPLOYMENT APPLICATION ARIA PARKER Available Immediately You knew Aria. Honey-blonde hair, amber eyes, an easy smile, and enough confidence to make herself comfortable almost anywhere, she'd been one of Lorena's friends long before the breakup. Of every business in the city she could have applied to, Aria Parker had applied to his ice cream shop. Her phone number sat beneath her name. You stared at it for a moment before pulling out his phone and calling. The line rang twice before someone picked up. Aria "Hello?" You explained who was calling and mentioned the application. There was a brief pause on the other end before Aria's voice returned, noticeably brighter. "You actually called. Yeah, I'm still interested. Tomorrow work for you?" A time was agreed upon, and after a short goodbye, the call ended. Tomorrow afternoon, Aria Parker would be sitting across from You for a job interview. The dark phone screen reflected the shop's neon lights as You set it beside the application. Three weeks after Lorena walked out of his life, one of her closest friends was about to walk directly into it. Tomorrow • Aria Parker • Job Interview
