“Okay, Kiera, enough with the half-assed explanations. It’s time for you to tell us what’s going on with you.”

“Here, here,” Jada said, tipping her goblet of merlot in Callie’s direction. “You’ve been acting shady for over a week. It’s time for you to spill.”

Kiera groaned. “God, can’t a person have one tiny little detail of their lives to themselves?”

“No,” Jada and Callie said in unison.

Kiera sent them both a nasty look, but Jada shrugged it off. It wasn’t as if she’d never gotten that look from her before.

The three of them had been best friends since their sophomore year of high school, and had remained close, despite going to separate colleges. But, eventually, life started to get in the way. As Kiera’s catering business took off, and Callie’s veterinary practice expanded, they found themselves going months without seeing each other for more than a few minutes, usually when they ran into each other at the grocery store, or the dry cleaners.

These monthly get-togethers arose out of necessity when Callie’s world imploded after her husband revealed that he was leaving her for his younger, pregnant girlfriend. Being an only child whose parents had been killed while she was still in college, Callie had needed them desperately.

When Eric followed suit, leaving Jada in the same predicament Callie had been in, they continued their get-togethers. At least Eric had waited a little longer before he got his new girl pregnant.

Poor Kiera’s love life had always warranted massive amounts of alcohol, despite her being the optimist of the group. At this point, Jada wasn’t sure Kiera was even looking for love anymore.

Unless…

“Is this about a man?” Jada asked. “Please don’t tell me you accepted Garrett’s friendship request on Facebook.”

“No,” Kiera said. “I blocked him. I even blocked his number from my cell phone and the phone at the kitchen. This has nothing to do with Garrett.”

“Then what is it?” Callie asked, passing around the plate of double fudge, dark chocolate caramel brownies that should be declared illegal in all fifty states. Jada was sure the calories in just one was enough to kill a small dog.

Kiera groaned again. She lay prone across the cushioned armchair in Callie’s living room, her feet dangling over one armrest while her back bowed over the other. Jada tucked her feet underneath her, studying her friend from her spot on the loveseat.

“We’re only asking because we’re concerned,” Jada told her.

“And nosy,” Kiera returned.

“That, too.” Callie topped off her wineglass. “You know we’re here to help. But we need to know what’s going on so that we’ll know how to help.”

Kiera sat upright and folded her legs underneath her. “Fine. I know neither of you will stop until you get all the gory details, anyway.”

“Wait, just how gory are the details?” Callie asked. “Do I need to uncork another bottle before you begin?”

“No, I think we’re good with what we have.” Kiera took a deep breath. “Okay, remember when I told you guys that I wanted to branch out with
