"Thanks for coming to get me," my sister, Meg, says as she drops her suitcase on the floor and plops herself on my couch.

"It's not a problem." I take the seat next to her and cross my legs, massaging my ankle. It seems to be healed, but the drive back and forth to the airport made it a little tender. What I wouldn't give for one of Nick's massages. Tingles form low in my belly even thinking about his hands on me. Every time he gave me a massage, my body would come alive under his touch. But thoughts of Nick right now aren't productive. I can't talk to Meg about him, at least not yet. Meg is strong-willed and at times opinionated. She’s formed her opinion about Nick. And since she’s only just got here, I’m not sure I’m in the mood to come face-to-face with Megan’s judgment.

Meg sprawls out, leaning back, making herself right at home. "Is your ankle still bothering you?"

"No, it's not bad at all. So much better than it was." Again, I'd like to bring up Nick and tell her how much he's helped me out, but I need to feel her out first.

"Well, that's good." She puts her fingers through her shoulder-length blonde hair and scoops it up into a low bun. "So, fill me in on everything. How have things been since you've been home? Any new guys to speak of?"

I bite my lip and look down. I've never been good at hiding things from my sister. "It's been really good to be back here. I don't miss Tyler at all."

This has her sitting up straighter, grasping for my thigh. "I'm so glad you're away from that asshole. Has he tried to reach out?"

"Thank goodness, no." I wouldn't answer, even if he did.

"Guess he finally took the hint."

"Must be. You ready for a drink?" Before she even answers, I'm standing and making my way to the kitchen. If there's one thing I know about my sister, it's that she loves her Chardonnay. I pour two glasses from the bottle I have in the refrigerator, bring them back to the living room, and hand her one.

"You love me," Meg says happily, taking the glass in both hands, almost hugging it to herself.

"Yes, I do." I take a sip of the crisp wine. "What about you? Anyone you’d like to settle down with?”

She waves her hand, like the idea of having a boyfriend is preposterous. Which is too bad. I’m sure she gets lonely living so far away from us in Seattle. Her adventurous spirit took her there for a job in the PR department at a big tech firm. "My needs are being met, but there's no one serious to speak of."

That's my sister, a lover of casual sex.

"Don't give me that look," Meg says in her stern tone.

I didn't even realize I was giving her one. "Sorry. You know I don't judge you."

Her perfectly manicured eyebrows pinch together as she stares me down like I’m a bomb ready to go off.
