      Tomorrows

      Mar 15, 2022

      The night, as most nights, was like a dream. At ten, once I’d fed the dog the last scraps off the stove. Once I’d cursed the cat for scratching up my mama’s antique furniture, then welcomed him back into my arms. Once I’d slicked my hair into a ponyt

      WRITTEN IN THE STARS

      Lily Velden

      BOLLOCKS! Ouch! Damn!

      You say it was fate.

      That led you to that date.

      You call it kismet.

      That made you take that bet.

      I shook my head and chuckled when I heard the mix of swearing, and the beginning of the catchy tune to Written in the Stars, waft down the hall. That meant it was six o’clock. Declan, my roommate and best friend, never missed an episode. And that was before he got a job in the hair-and-makeup department of the matchmaking show. The show was Declan’s equivalent of church on Sunday. He also never failed to stub his toe on the corner of the couch in his haste to park his butt. You’d think the boy would learn.

      Maybe destiny’s the word.

      Hurry up, Sebastian, or you’ll miss the start, he hollered, the beginning of impatience tinging his summons to the settee. If I knew him at all—and I did—he’d be squirming in his seat, barely able to sit still. And why he was already getting his knickers in a knot was beyond me—they were still playing the opening song.

      Doesn’t matter which you use.

      It’s Written in the Stars.

      Oh yeah, Written in the Stars!

      As the jingle drew to a close, I quickly finished dishing up our nachos and grabbed two beers from the fridge. Performing a balancing act worthy of the high-wire artists from Cirque du Soleil, I scurried down the hall to the lounge room. Declan spared me a glance and a smile before returning his gaze to the television where the host, Gary Walters, had just bounded out, looking like an advert for spray tanning.

      Nice tie, I commented, indicating
