That week, when she should have been paying attention to her new assignment and her new crew chief and her new responsibilities, CJ was distracted. She kept thinking about Brady—her slightly crooked smile, the soft hair at her nape, the way she chewed on her pinkie finger when she was worried about something. She kept remembering the feel of Brady’s skin against hers, like silk; the soft sounds she made when their naked skin touched; the sight of her in the tub in their hotel room, freckled cheeks flushed, eyes closed, mouth turned up in pleasure.

It was downright disconcerting to be in the middle of wrenching out a bolt when all of a sudden her mind was hijacked by a remembered sight or scent. And then she would feel her own cheeks flame and hope against hope that no one else in the vicinity had mind-reading capabilities.

On Thursday at supper, Kate slid in next to her. “You owe me, my friend.”

CJ set her fork down. “No. Truly?”

Kate nodded, and CJ threw her arms around the smaller woman, nearly crushing her.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“Is there a reason you’re manhandling PFC Delaney?” Toby asked, bumping CJ’s mess tray with her own as she slid onto the wooden bench.

CJ released Kate and beamed at Toby. “She’s a genius.”

“I know.” Toby sipped her coffee. “How did she demonstrate her intellectual prowess this time?”

Kate shook her head at Toby, eyes crinkling at the corners.

“She arranged passes for Brady and me.”

Reggie leaned into the conversation. “You know, there are so many comments I could make, CJ, I’m not even sure where to begin.”

Sarah elbowed her. “Then don’t.”

For the hundredth time that week, CJ felt the blood rush to her face. Now all her friends were thinking about her and Brady, perhaps picturing them back in the suite on the fifteenth floor—naked.

Well, it wasn’t like they wouldn’t be soon.

CJ lifted her chin. “You’re jealous,” she said to Reggie, smiling to take the sting out.

It was Reggie’s turn to redden, and immediately the attention shifted from CJ to her buddy, who had been spending a noticeably significant chunk of time at the Balloon Hangar in the general vicinity of one of the new WASP pilots, a Miss Josephine “Holly” Hollingsworth.

“There is nothing lovers love more than love,” her Shakespeare professor had liked to say. Finally, CJ understood what she’d meant.
