Chapter 41

Mina

Damn it. Of all the people to run into, why on Earth did it have to be Ginger Hawthorne? I had never liked her.

And of course, the feeling was more than mutual.

If I hadn't known this already, the look on her face would've made it crystal clear. She was looking at me the way I'd looked at Uncle Joe's festering foot.

But then, she plastered on a bright smile and called out, "Oh, Mina. Hi!"

I knew that smile. It was the same frenemy smile she used on my mom. I snuck a quick glance at Chase before plastering on a smile of my own. "Oh, hi!" Under my breath, I added, "Funny seeing you here."

It was even funnier a moment later when Ginger asked if I wouldn't mind "popping into the kitchen for a little chat."

Crap.

I didn't want to. But I didn't see where I had much choice. Ginger wasn't above causing a giant scene to get what she wanted.

Ask any waitress in the tri-county area. They'll tell you.

I looked to Chase. "Would you excuse me for a moment? Maybe take a quick look around while I talk to Ginger?"

Chase looked from me to Ginger, who was still waiting in the kitchen doorway.

As he did, I tried to see Ginger through the eyes of a stranger. She looked very stylish in a silky black blouse, a short black skirt, little black ankle boots, and a colorful silk scarf draped over her slender shoulders. Her longish red hair looked salon fresh, and her makeup was perfect as always.

When I looked back to Chase, he was frowning like he wasn't any happier to see Ginger than I was.

I couldn’t exactly blame him, considering that he was probably pressed for time.

But there was nothing I could do about it now – or at least, nothing that wouldn't cause a giant scene. Quickly, I assured him, "It won't take long. I promise."

I only prayed that I was telling the truth. After all, I'd already broken one promise today and hated the thought of breaking another, especially with the same person.

Earlier in the car, I'd promised to tell Chase what I'd been thinking.

And what had I given him?

A weather report.

A very long and rambling weather report.

But with all of the crazy naked thoughts bouncing around in my brain, the weather had been my only safe option.

Safe.

There was that word again. Today, it was chafing like a bloody blister.

Finally, Chase gave a single nod. "If you need me, just holler."

A minute later, I felt like hollering, alright – but out of frustration, not true need.

And why? It was because Ginger wasn't alone. She was with her daughter – the one with the yoga studio, the one who'd been the Tomato Queen while I'd been runner-up, and the one who'd stolen Bryce out from under me.

As far as Bryce, I meant that literally. I'd given him my virginity. And what had Emory given him? A week of sun and sex at her mom's condo in Florida.

At the sight of Emory, I stopped just past the open kitchen doorway and tried not to curse out loud.
