Leaping Into the Void
GRASSHOPPERS SWARMED IN NOAH Hunnicutt’s stomach. At least
that was how it felt, and in a bid to squelch his rising nausea, he chugged
cool bottled water. What had he been thinking, opening his new bar on
Cinco de Mayo? As his father would often remind him, Noah hadn’t been
thinking because he was incapable of breaking out of the pattern he’d
followed his entire life. Namely, leaping into the void without considering
the consequences until he hit bottom. And he always hit bottom.

Spectacular splats over soft landings had been his norm his entire twentyeight years.
He reminded himself to embrace the day for the simple reason that it had
finally arrived. There was a time not so long ago when he had been doubtful
it ever would. In fact, he’d planned to open on Valentine’s Day, then St.
Patrick’s Day. Besides construction delays that had slowed the launch,
Noah had had to weather a rival bar owner’s attempts to thwart the Miners
Tavern’s very existence. The asshole—an uber-wealthy outsider from Aspen
—had pulled out all the stops, from challenging the local board issuing
Noah’s liquor license to calling for investigations into his building permits.
The arrogant jerk might have obstructed Noah every way possible, but he
hadn’t succeeded in stopping him. So yeah, opening on Cinco de Mayo
might prove to be pure chaos, but it was a triumph Noah definitely needed
to celebrate.
His father, and the rest of Noah’s family, would be there to witness his
rising up like a phoenix. Hopefully he didn’t choke on the ashes.
No, you’re going to be fine.
He had had plenty of time to think his new life through during the last
nine months as he’d painstakingly poured his soul into this new venture—
but it didn’t mean he wasn’t terrified of unlocking the front doors and
letting the public inside to judge him and his endeavor.
Nine long months. He laughed out loud when he realized the parallel he
hadn’t seen before. This experience was like giving birth, right? Well,
minus the hair-raising physical pain the women in his family loved to
describe in squirm-worthy detail at family gatherings. Still, the metaphor
fit. The birth of the tavern was his rebirth too—that whole phoenix analogy.
Here was the shiny new bar owner who would make the extension of
himself a stunning success, erasing all traces of past fuck-ups from his
family’s collective memory banks.
Jesus, he hoped his vision, his infinite analyses, and the pep talks he’d
given himself over the past year would hold up under the crush of reality.
His jangling cell phone jarred him, but his stretched nerves loosened their
grip when he registered the number, and he quickly picked up the call.
“Hey, cuz.”
“Yo, barkeep!” his cousin, Wyatt Tompkins, greeted. “You ready for your
big day?”
