“Because coffee wasn’t a proper date?” I asked.

  “Not really, not if you just happened to bump into her. It needs to be something that you arranged ahead of time.”

  “How am I supposed to arrange something ahead of time if she won’t even give me her number?” I asked, rolling my eyes.

  To be honest, I didn’t even know why I was considering the idea. Whatever Emily was looking for, it apparently wasn’t the same as what I was looking for. Even if I took her out on a proper date and went home with her afterwards, she would expect something more to come of that. She would expect me to call her a couple days later, to start a relationship with her.

  I wasn’t the relationship kind of guy.

  “Come on,” Andrei said exasperatedly. “Don’t try to tell me that you couldn’t get her number in five minutes if you really wanted it. Maybe she won’t give it to you outright, but the Volkov family has…connections. She’s probably bought her drinks using her credit card; start with getting her last name.”

  “Sounds like a lot of work just to get laid,” I muttered, taking another healthy swallow of vodka.

  Andrei plucked his glass out of my hands. “You know it wouldn’t just be about getting laid,” he said.

  “Oh really?” I snapped, lashing out at him because I couldn’t exactly lash out at myself. “What exactly do you think it would lead to?”

  Andrei just looked amused. “You don’t need me to tell you that,” he pointed out. Before I could snap out a reply, he stood up and left the booth.

  I stewed there for a moment, staring out at the crowd and trying to pick a different target for the night, one who was decidedly not blonde. But I couldn’t seem to settle on one. Instead, I took a bottle of the nicest vodka from the back room and headed home alone to drink myself into a stupor.
