CHAPTER SEVEN

I WAS IN EARLY the next morning, and by working through lunch and staying after Sophie left that night, caught up on three days work. Dylan was very impressed when I called her that evening, even though she worried when I didn‘t eat.

―You‘re too thin now Jory,‖ she sighed into the phone.

―Okay,‖ I indulged her as I ate the Power Bar in my desk.

She promised to try and be in the following day if she felt better but I told her not to worry, I‘d call if I got in any trouble. I made her play guess-who, to figure out who I had accidentally run into.

―I hate this game and you know it,‖ she complained. ―Who‘d ya meet?‖

―Abe, your friend Aubrey Flanagan.‖

―Really? How funny.‖

―I know it was totally random.‖

―Well that‘s great. Didn‘t you just love her, isn‘t she awesome?‖

―She is.‖

―But don‘t love her more than me okay?‖

―Could you be more hormonal,‖ I asked her. ―Like that‘s even possible.‖

―Good.‖

―That reminds me I gotta call her.‖

―That‘s my cue to get off the phone.‖ She yawned and then burped.

―Lovely.‖

―Sorry,‖ she sighed. ―My stomach‘s all screwed up.‖

―Because it‘s been taken over by and alien.‖

―You‘re funny. You should do stand-up.‖

I smiled into the phone.

―God, I‘m so sick of being sick. I need to have this kid already.‖

―It‘s just a couple of weeks more Dy. Just rest.‖

She appreciated me trying to rally her spirits and told me she loved me before she got off the phone. I called Aubrey immediately afterwards. My pinch hitter promised to be in the office the following Monday morning at eight sharp. I told her I didn‘t do sharp I did ish, as in nine- ish.

―Ish?‖ She giggled.

―So ish,‖ I assured her. ―Dylan and I might be a little laid back but still…eight in the morning is just obscene.‖

―Okay partner,‖ she sighed into the phone. ―Nine- ish it is.‖

When I asked how her date had gone with Rick Jenner she said it wasn‘t over yet.

Apparently they had been inseparable since they had dinner.

―Have you even gone home yet?‖

She had no comment.

I chuckled and she groaned.

―He‘s a good guy,‖ I championed my brother‘s friend.

―He‘s a phenomenal guy,‖ she corrected me, ―and so damn hot.‖

I grunted. ―I‘ll take your word for it.‖

―And speaking of hot guys…who was the gorgeous guy I saw you leaving The Co rner Diner with last night?‖

―I didn‘t see you.‖

―No I know. I yelled but you were too far away but who cares! Who was the guy?‖

―Sam.‖

―Oooh,‖ she purred. ―Do you realize you just sighed when you said his name?‖

―I did not.‖

―Oh I think ya did. Who is he?‖

―Well he‘s totally yummy. I approve.‖

―Stop.‖

―And can I just say what a stunning couple you guys make? I mean holy shit, drop -dead, could-not-take my-eyes-off-of you guys gorgeous.‖

―No we don‘t but you and Rick on the other hand…really beautiful.‖

―Well thank you very much,‖ she squealed suddenly and the throaty laughter filled my ears.

―Whatcha doin‘ babe?‖ I teased her.
