    About this ebook

    The tale-of-the-tape is just about even. It may even favor the fairer sex. Benny is short, scrawny--lazy yet smug. He's a typical entitled, young male. When he sees Alice, he realizes he's never wanted anything more.

    Alice, however, isn't what she appears.

    Fresh from her latest romantic disaster, she's out with the girls, slamming shots to kill the pain. A guy across the room reminds her of her ex, and now he's headed her way.

      The Ranch was one of those three-level clubs with sprawling, rooftop bars that are popular in downtown Austin. It was on West Sixth where the college girls and models strutted in leading-edge technologies of revealing garments under water misters and palm fronds with glassy-eyed stumblings between tricked-out limos and hippies pedaling yellow, paint-chipped rickshaws.

      A rickshaw had carried Alice and one of her best friends to the Ranch that evening but just for fun. They weren’t in any hurry and arrived at the front doors well before the rest of the bachelorette party. This allowed them to get in extra drinks and shots and make fun of stupid guys that didn’t know what they were doing. One of these stupid guys was Benny. Benny hovered around like a satellite, exchanging orbits between her and his group of friends like he wanted to buy her a drink or something. He had noticed her looking at him and mistook the extra second of eye contact for interest. In truth, Alice had thought that the guy was a dead-ringer for her ex-boyfriend except that at five-eight and around a
