     It’s the first time she’s seen him since Halloween -- and even then she can’t remember whether he was in the background or just her imagination. But he’s there so she must be too, and suddenly Ava is back to being over aware of her surroundings and, mostly, her company. It’s a lucky coincidence, if anything, that she stands alone at the bar, nursing two glasses -- one for herself and one for a woman she hopes she’ll see soon -- when he calls for the bartender too. “Tip them a $20 if you want your drink anytime soon,” she calls over the loud music. And then, with a smile as if nothing had happened, she adds, “Business or pleasure?”
