Chapter 25

ARLEN

As soon as I see the kid launch the ball into the air, I know it's going way too fast and hard for Wendy to catch it. I can see that her bread bunny is going to be knocked senseless the second the ball socks into her.

But I have to say, I'm impressed. Wendy's workout regimen leaves mine in the dustiest dust bowl of 1939. I mean, I'm pulling her into my arms all the time on the show. Like, all the time. One scene where my character tries to kiss hers is three to fourteen takes depending on the director. And every time, putting my hands on her body makes me flinch because it feels all hard and bony compared to Lola. And so wrong. And that involuntary flinch always works in favor of the tension of the scene.

But Wendy's not hard just because she's so skinny and bony. She's ripped with ripcord muscle. My God, that football hit her right in the gut and bounced off. It sent her flying, sure, but it didn't slice right through to her spine.

But as amazing as that whole sequence is, that's not why I keep re-watching it. It's the next part.

The part with Colin.

The look in his eyes when he comes running up to her. The way he touches her when he kneels down next to her. He isn't flinching whenever he touches her. He's treating her like the softest, most precious dandelion fuzz, the kind that will blow away into oblivion with the slightest breeze.

And you could say that maybe he's worried about having responsibility for this million-dollar commodity or having responsibility for the linchpin in his sister's career. Or having responsibility for the woman who engineered the existence and happiness of his sister's family.

But that's not it.

You can see that it's not it by the way he looks at her when she calls him out for his wussy football throws.

Good God, Colin is in love with Wendy.

She's got him, hook, line, and great big fishing net, and he seems totally clueless about how truly tangled up he is.

And her? I don't know. I just don't know. Wendy is my best friend in the world but I can't read a thing about her and how she feels. I don't have the answers.

Lola is going to freak and I don't have any answers that could possibly calm her down. This is not good. But at least there's a lot of food in the house. And a brand new bottle of chocolate syrup in the fridge next to the milk.

And luckily Katie took Matteo and Ella to the movies and Pam is at the jazz club. But then again, I'm pretty sure they get a kick out of Lola when she spazzes out. I think they make bets on how I'm going to calm her down and how long it'll take.

“Whatcha watchin'?”

“Whoa!” And I jump, like, three feet out of my chair.

“Arlen?” Lola laughs. “What? Did I catch you watching porn?
