Kara collapsed on the sofa next to Dianna. “Why didn’t you come to yoga?”

“Did you just let yourself into my house?”

“Yes. Why didn’t you come to yoga? You haven’t come for weeks. The old biddies have been chomping at the bit to hear about your date with Paul.”

“I got busy. I didn’t think they’d mind.”

“What’s going on, Di?”

Dianna curled her hands farther around her coffee mug. “What isn’t going on?”

“Is this about Mitch?”

“He didn’t get married.”

“What?”

Dianna shook her head. “Nobody showed up so he backed out.”

Kara snickered. “Serves him right.”

“I almost slept with Paul, though.”

Her grin fell. “Almost?”

“We kissed. A lot. There was a little groping and grinding.”

“Nice,” Kara teased.

“Yeah. But then he pointed out we were drunk and would regret it later. So we just passed out in a hotel room, and when we woke up, extremely hung over, we agreed that maybe someday but not right now. And that friend of his who bought the piano?”

“Yeah?”

“There was no friend. Paul just didn’t want me to sell it.”

“Wow. So chivalry isn’t dead, huh? Any other news from the last three days you’d like to share?”

Her lip quivered. “I’ve decided to sell the house.”

“Oh, baby,” Kara said softly. “I’m sorry.”

“I can’t keep putting it off. It’s like a rock around my neck dragging me down.”

“You’ll find something great.”

Dianna nodded. “Yeah, I’m sure. What about you? How was your New Year’s?”

She smiled. “Oh, you know. Harry and I just stayed in. Alone.”

Dianna snorted. “You two are too much.”

“You were missed at yoga, though. I think your love life has become the glue that keeps that group together.”

“Oh, God. That’s so sad.”

“Iris, that’s Greek lady number one, the one right next to me, says that if Paul doesn’t see what’s right in front of him, he’s a vlaka. I had to look that up—it means idiot. But, Karme, Greek lady number two, says that if it is real love, it will bloom in its own time and neither you nor Paul can push it. She also says her son Theos is a great catch. He’s a chef at their restaurant and would cook for you every meal. That would be a nice change of pace, huh?”

“They really talked about this?”

“Yes, for the last two Saturdays. Today, Elle, the woman beside you, said that you probably weren’t at yoga because you and Paul had finally hooked up and you couldn’t stand to be away from him. I told her I didn’t think so, but then I come here and you tell me you almost slept with him. How did that happen?”

“Um, about five or six martinis and a shattered heart at the thought of my husband marrying someone else made me think throwing myself at Paul would be a good idea.”

“But you said you guys kissed.”

She nodded. “We did, and then he pointed out it was very, very bad of us to do that.”

Kara frowned. “Well, that’s rude.”

“But he was right. Then he told me that he bought my piano and he wants me to keep it.
