sottile alberello d’ oliva on the inside.
    She followed Kenna into the darkly lit club and let the thumping of dance music stir her blood. She loved to dance and couldn’t wait to get out on the floor. She waved at the people from the office that had already hit the floor or bar. She and Kenna made their way to the back booth. A handsome, preppie man stood up from the table and kissed Kenna. He looked back at her and smiled. A cold chill traveled down her spine. Something about that smile scared her.
    “Hey pretty lady. Can I get you a drink?”
    Dani turned toward the voice and looked down. A man, no more than five six with his collar popped and his hair gelled in a tangled mess stood checking her out.
    “No thanks. I am here with my friend tonight.” She knew she was a snob, but she couldn’t date or even dance with men shorter than her. When she tried, she felt as if she was in Gulliver visiting the Lilliputians.
    The man walked off to find someone else while Kenna brought the man over to her. “Dani, this is Chad. Chad this is my best friend, Danielle.”
    She smiled and he shook her hand. Some co-workers approached to wish Kenna a happy birthday, but Chad still did not let go of her hand. “It’s so nice to meet you. Kenna has told me so much about you that I feel as if I know you intimately.” He squeezed her hand just a little too hard and she felt the bones crunch together. He let go so fast she thought it must have been an accident. She couldn’t let it go though. The smile, the way he said the word ‘intimately’, the prolonged hand shake… something was off.
    “Thanks. I heard a lot about you, too.” She kept her hand behind her and started looking around for an escape. She wished the popped collar guy would come back. She was being blinded by Chad’s white teeth that made her feel like Little Red Riding Hood being eyed by the Big Bad Wolf.
    “Is this your first time to this club?” he asked.
    “Yes. The music seems good and there are plenty of people to keep the dance floor packed.” She again wished someone who come ask her to dance, but with Chad standing so close everyone probably assumed he was with her.
    “It’s mine too. I don’t go to that many clubs. Never seem to have the time. How about I get you a drink?” He looked over to the bartender and raised his chin in slight acknowledgment.
    “No thanks. I was going to wait for Kenna.” She looked at Kenna talking to some other attorneys and wished she’d hurry up.
    Chad turned and took a step to Kenna’s side. “Hey Babe, you’re neglecting me. I want to get you a birthday drink and then a picture with my two girls.”
    “Sure! Dani! You have to be in the picture. Come on, let’s go to the bar and get this party started,” Kenna grabber her hand and hurried her to the bar. “Two sparkling peach martinis, please.”
    Dani felt Chad approach and felt him standing so near to her his front was touching her back. He leaned over her and placed his shoulder between her and Kenna, “Three shots of Grey Goose first, please. To celebrate my girl’s birthday!” The bartender placed the drinks on the bar. “Thanks man.” Chad placed a twenty on the counter and passed out the shots, then signaled the bartender again, “Hey, man. Do me a favor and take a picture of me and my two girls?”
    She had to lean past Chad to joke with Kenna about how hot the bartender was. “Well, at least you know he can actually get you a drink!” They both cracked up at the ongoing joke that out of all the offers to buy her a drink, hardly any man actually got to. They toasted Kenna and then took the shot while the bartender took a picture.
    “Here you go,” The bartender handed the phone back to Chad.
    “Thanks, Dave.” Chad took Kenna’s arm in one hand and escorted her back to their table. Dani walked up to the bar and sat down on a stool. She looked at the hot bartender while he was waiting on other people. No name tag. She looked around the
