Lucky Us. The Friday Night Series, #1

Claire had one plan for Friday night: meet her friends, get a facial, drink some wine, and absolutely not overthink the man she was definitely not dating. Then a black cat crosses her path. The rain starts. Her ride cancels. A dress traps her in a fitting room. Her card gets declined, then approved. The spa loses power. A mirror seems to have opinions. The wrong wine arrives. And Grant, king of the almost-invitation and the perfectly reasonable mixed signal, turns up at the same restaurant.
Coincidence?Probably. Except the night keeps getting stranger. With Maya, Becca, and Jules beside her, Claire starts treating her terrible luck like a problem to solve. But somewhere between the salt, the wine, the face-down phones, and one very inconvenient conversation, she realizes the real question may not be whether Friday is cursed. It may be why she has spent so long making uncertainty comfortable.
By the end of the night, Claire may not have better luck. But she might finally have a better answer.
