Hello Single Dad – Kelsie Hoss

I ate way too much at Seaton Bakery, but the best part? Cohen never shamed me for how much I sampled. Never suggested I opt for a water or black coffee instead of the sugary drinks I opted for. Dax would have done all of those things and then suggested a walk after. Cohen? He led me to his car and started driving. His hands stayed on the wheel, and I couldn’t help but take him in while his eyes were focused on the road.

The ridges of his nose made me think it had been broken, and after hearing how he’d grown up, I couldn’t help but wonder how he’d gotten it. My eyes traveled from his face to his hands to the speedometer. His car was so fancy that it felt like riding in a cloud despite going eighty miles an hour. I checked. He only drove five miles over the speed limit at any given time.

I liked it—like a small form of rebel- lion but also a sense of safety. But what surprised and delighted me more was our final destina- tion. He stopped in the parking lot of a new rainforest aviary outside of LA. My mouth fell open as I looked from him to the sign. “I didn’t even know this was open yet!” “It isn’t.”

He parked and pulled the keys. “But how?” I asked, following him out of the car. His grin was tantalizing. “I know a guy who likes to stay a little late at my bar sometimes.” I shook my head at him in awe, then went back to staring at the building. All of the cranes and cones and big chain link fences were gone, but the parking lot was still nearly empty.

I’d been waiting to attend the opening all summer and fall. They hadn’t announced a date yet, but it was set to launch sometime in December. “I take it you’re excited?” he asked, smiling. “You have no idea. You know I’m a Friend of the Aviary? I do- nate a hundred dollars every year on Ralphie’s birthday.” His smile didn’t look as horrified as I might have guessed. Instead, it was encouraging. “That’s awesome,” he said. I nodded.

Except for maybe seeing a U-Haul on the street. That had to mean Mrs. Cronckle was finally moving out to live with her daughter. With a smile on my face, I walked toward our townhome, ready to tell Dax we could say goodbye. No more senile neighbor who liked to comment on my weight, and no more of her creepy, winky cat.

I took the few steps into our front door and pushed it open. “Dax! You’re not going to…” My heart stopped. And that had nothing to do with the pound of bacon Mara and I had just consumed. Suitcases filled the living room. Among the bags, stood my fiancé. Dax looked up from his phone, and very casually, slid it into his pocket. “What’s going on?” I asked, closing the door behind me, as though that simple latch would be enough to stop the inevitable from happening.

“It’s not working out,” he said flatly.
