CHAPTER SEVEN

“I have something to confess,” I said as soon as Jenna answered her door.

“O—kay,” she said, flashing me a bewildered look as she stepped back to allow me to enter her apartment. It was nine o’clock on a Saturday morning after a girl’s night out, so I wasn’t surprised that she was still in her pajamas. “I thought you had to work the drive-thru this morning.”

“I called in sick,” I said as I plopped myself down onto her couch.

She bent down to scrutinize my face. “Yeah, the bags under your eyes aren’t doing you any favors. If you’re still sick, then what the hell are you doing here at this god-awful hour?”

“I’m not sick. Well, at least I don’t think I am.”

Jenna sat down beside me and gave me the evil eye. “You didn’t have a headache last night, either, did you?” she said flatly.

I shook my head, and her scowl deepened.

“All right, spill. The last time you flaked out on us was because you were doing something incredibly stupid in regards to a certain asshole.”

“It has nothing to do with John, I promise,” I hastened to assure her, and her icy expression began to melt somewhat.

“It better not,” she warned.

No, this could probably be worse than me begging my ex for a second chance, I thought with an inward grimace.

“I met someone last week,” I said. “Things happened, and now I don’t know what to do.”

“Oh my God!” she yelled, grabbing me by the arms. “You’re pregnant, aren’t you!”

I flinched back when confronted by her unexpected ferocity. “What? No! I can be stupid sometimes, but I’m not that stupid.”

I had never seen a person look more relieved than in that moment. Jenna let go of my arms and sat back with an exasperated sigh. “Next time stop to think about what you’re saying. ‘Things happened, and I don’t know what to do.’ How else was I supposed to take that?”

I made a face. “I see your point.” I rubbed at my eyes wearily. “Sorry. I didn’t get any sleep last night, and I can’t think straight right now.”

“Were you with him all night, this mystery guy of yours?” Jenna demanded. “Megan, didn’t you say you were through jumping into bed with guys you just met?”

“It’s nothing like that. Yeah, I was with him yesterday, but we didn’t meet at my apartment, and I went home before it had even gotten dark.”

“Can you tell me his name at least?”

“Seren,” I replied, deciding that his name sounded less strange than Locien’s.

“Sounds like the name of someone in a Goth band,” she said with a laugh.

Well—maybe not…

“That’s because he’s foreign—um, French,” I lied.

“Really?” she said, her eyes suddenly lighting up with interest. “Where the heck did you meet someone like that? Did he go through your line at the bank or something?”

“Nobody that interesting ever goes through my line,” I scoffed. “It was while I was out jogging at the park. I tripped on a root along the path and sent my phone flying into the trees.
