Chapter 8

Meg poured another glass of wine for Honey B. and herself. “Mmmm.” She licked her lips after taking a long slow sip of the red wine. “I usually don’t drink wine,” she confided in her friend. “I like beer.”

Honey flicked a glance in Meg’s direction and grinned. “I know. But now and then it’s good to change it up. Try something different.” She was staring at the computer screen and was using the mouse to shift from one picture to another. “Take these five guys, for instance.”

Meg scooted closer. “I like the fireman from Newark. He sounds dedicated and likes the outdoors—and working with his hands.” Meg sighed. “There’s just something about a man with callused hands—it feels so—” She stopped before she shared just a bit too much information.

Honey B. sighed. “That’s the problem; I’m not a wilderness type of girl. I’m more of the I’ll-sit-here-by-the-fire-and-admire-the-wood-you-just-chopped kind of gal.”

Their shared laughter felt wonderful. Meg was loose from a long night of loving, and although she wondered if she could convince Dan she was worth the time to get to know, she wasn’t worried about it right now. Honey B.’s happiness was on the line, and besides, it was up to Dan to make the first move. Wasn’t it?

She pointed to the second picture Honey B. brought up. “How about him?”

They both stared at the picture and then each other. “He’s a teacher over at the Police Academy.”

“So?” Honey B. hadn’t looked up from the photo, so she couldn’t see the expression on Meg’s face.

“You need to stop thinking about Mitch.”

Her friend scrunched up her face and looked over her shoulder. “Maybe I happen to like guys who are involved with the law.”

Meg snickered into her wineglass. “Just make sure they aren’t on the wrong side of the law.”

Honey B. started giggling and couldn’t stop. “Now I have to pee.” She got up and said, “See what you can come up with for me,” as she ran down the hall to the bathroom. “I like the Police Academy instructor and the fireman so far, but I’d like at least one more so I can have three dates lined up for the end of this week.”

While Honey B. was occupied, Meg quickly scanned the profiles of the most likely candidates, selecting a former air force pilot, who could be tricky—pilots were known for their big egos. But then again, they had a right to feel that way with all of their specialized training.

When her friend walked back into the room, Meg had added a few more men to Honey B.’s list.

“I’m not interested in meeting a rancher or an entrepreneur; I have my own business to worry about. Besides, on the outside chance that things start cooking, I don’t want to have to travel too far and get stuck out on somebody’s ranch.”

“It sounds like you’ve already made up your mind.” Meg always admired that trait in her friend. “I wouldn’t know where to begin.”

“Once I find a man, I’ll help you find one too.
