Harper’s face lights up, “You’re kidding?!”

“I would not kid about it at this point.”

“You guys are machines! I don’t know how you did it! But thank you.” Harper gives him a high five.

“I’m not going to lie to you, there were some tears. And lots of blood and some sweat.” Greg says.

“Where’s Maggie?”

“I sent her home. I’ve got another 30 minutes and I am out of here too.” He says with his exhaustion apparent.

“Go home and get lots of sleep.”

“You too. No more working tonight, ok?” Greg says.

“I don’t think my body would let me.” She smiles. “I did finish the poster design, finally. I emailed the proof. If they like it I’ll do a test print tomorrow.” Harper stretches.

“Ok, come on!” Christine takes Harper by the arm. “I’m taking you out for a drink.”

Harper gives Christine a look that says ‘are you crazy’.

“I can’t believe I am letting you do this to me.” Harper says closing the passenger door. “I should be home sleeping already.”

“You need to relax a little first. Come on it will be good for you.” Christine smiles and starts walking.

Harper is so sleep deprived that it isn’t until they are about to walk in the front door of The Planet that she realizes where she is. “Why didn’t you tell me this is where we were going?”

Christine sounds surprised, “You know this place?”

“Yeah, this is where I ran into Dana and Alice together.”

“No kidding. Well it’s the new nighttime hot spot. And this girl I like might be here.” Christine smiles.

Harper has a moment of dread, “Oh God, what is her name?” She instantly thinks of Shane’s reputation and the irony of Karma. It would only be too perfect if Shane was the girl of Christine’s fancy this week.

“Lisa.”

Harper sighs with relief, “Well let’s go see if she’s in there.”

The club is teeming with bodies, most of them moving to the music that fills the room.

“Holy *****.” Harper says taking in the packed room. “I can’t believe this is the same place.”

Christine smiles, “Told you it was the new hot spot. Come on let’s get a drink.”
