“What did you do then?” Anne asked, her expression a mixture of glee and horror.

“Put another Pop-Tart in the toaster.” Lexi shrugged as she looked at the audience of her fellow yoga class participants. “What? You all know I don’t cook!”

“You could have treated him to breakfast at the diner,” Megan Sartain suggested. The lawyer prided herself on her shrewd analytical skills.

“Right,” Lexi said. “We could have done the Walk of Shame down the center of Main Street. And you just know Anne would have served up omelets for both of us, without a single editorial comment.”

“It sounds like you two deserved a few editorial comments,” her best friend retorted, to the amusement of the crowd.

“I didn’t hear anyone complaining,” Lexi said, looking up to heaven with mock innocence. “Not in the privacy of my own little bedroom. Not all day Saturday. Or Sunday either.” She held up her plastic cup, saluting her girlfriends’ good-natured cheers before she tilted her wrist toward the box of white wine on the card table at the front of the room.

She wasn’t going to tell them about Finn’s nightmare on Friday night. And there was no reason to mention she’d spent all day Monday waiting for him to come work in the store. He’d told her he was stopping by the Dawsons first thing, dropping off the Harmony Town gift and paying his respects. He’d drive down to Winchester after that, pick up supplies for the tabletop display of Cedar Creek. It was her own crazy brain that had made her perk up every single time the damn bell rang over the front door.

Megan obligingly filled Lexi’s cup before topping off her own. When the lawyer sat back in her folding chair, she worried at her wedding band. Rumor had it that Megan and Ethan were going through a rough spot. If that’s what you called it when Ethan had been caught literally with his pants down last month, attending his twentieth high school reunion, banging the woman who’d been his senior year prom date. The yoga class offered a respectful minute of silence in case Megan wanted to talk about it.

Rule One of Tammy Yeager’s Yoga Night on Mondays: No one had to talk about anything she didn’t want to talk about.

Okay, that was actually Rule Two. Rule One was: There is no yoga at Yoga Night.

Between appointments at Namastyle, Harmony Springs’ most popular hair salon and yoga studio, Tammy taught classes during the week—yoga and pilates in the back room while old-fashioned hair dryers hummed in the front room. But Monday nights at eight p.m. were sacred: A box of mediocre wine, a sleeve of plastic cups, and chocolate. Always lots of chocolate.

And all the gossip Harmony Springs cared to share.

Olivia Park leaned forward abruptly, her stick-straight black hair swaying like a curtain. The elementary school teacher sounded like she was reading a book out loud when she said, “I heard your soldier boy was part of some special unit in Iraq, training elite assassins or something.
