MORGAN MADE CHICKEN POTPIE, IT was flaky and delicious, and I savored every mouthful.

“You are never allowed to get married.” I took another forkful, loading it with culinary goodness. “Or if you do, you aren’t allowed to move out. I will die if I have to fend for myself.”

Morgan laughed, finishing off the rest of her dinner. “The drama. You could learn you know. If you can read, you can cook, you just need to follow the recipe.”

“And deprive you of this.” I waved my fork at what was left of the pie. “No, I wouldn’t be so cruel.”

She grabbed her plate, rinsing it off before loading it into the dishwasher. “So.” She paused, raising an eyebrow. “Are we going to talk about the elephant in the room?”

“If this is your way of telling me I’m putting on weight, you can save it.” I spoke around the last forkful. “I don’t care, your cooking is worth it.”

“You aren’t putting on weight.” She leaned her hip against the kitchen counter as she gave me a pointed look. “Roman. You. Sleeping together.”

Morgan had worked nights all weekend, which meant she had slept during the day. It was the excuse I gave her for my spa time, not wanting to wake her by being noisy in the apartment. Of course she saw right through my transparent and lame attempt to forget about Roman, but was kind enough not to push. But now, all bets were off with the news that after dinner I was going to spend the night at his apartment.

“It’s no big deal.” I joined her by the sink, shrugging as I rinsed off my dinner plate to illustrate that it was indeed no big deal. “I don’t know if it’s going to be a nightly thing, we’re just keeping it casual for right now.”

“Lo, you work together.” Her hand reached across and clasped mine. “Please promise me you are going to be really careful. You love your job. I don’t want that to change if things go south with Roman.”

“It won’t,” I promised, my fingers squeezed hers back. “It’s just fun for now and when it stops being fun, we’ll go back to not sleeping with each other. We’re going to argue regardless, so that part won’t be different.”

She sighed seeming to be unconvinced. “Okay. Well, you know what you’re doing.”

I didn’t think she was confident that I did know, but at least she was being supportive.

“He invited me to dinner,” I admitted, Roman’s offer to have dinner unmentioned when I came home.

Morgan looked surprised, the shift in the conversation hopefully taking away some of her concern. “And?”

“And it was sort of weird. Like he was going to say something and then he didn’t.” I paraphrased trying to remember exactly what he’d said. “By his own admission, he doesn’t date a lot and his only reasoning was that he liked it.”

“Liked dinner?” Morgan screwed up her face in confusion.

“Dinner with me, wiseass.” I rolled my eyes. “Maybe I should send you instead so you can try and work him out.
