Chapter Fourteen

Megan looked across nervously at Emma. They were sitting on the deck of the restaurant overlooking the water. She was seriously considering making an excuse and leaving before the others got here. Why had she agreed to come to their Saturday girls' lunch? She liked Emma, they'd had a great time together the other night, but this time there would be three others. She wasn't so worried about Missy, she was lovely. Holly and Laura had seemed nice too. It wasn't even that she was bothered about them not being nice. It was being in a group that she didn't like. She never knew what to say.

Emma gave her a reassuring smile. “I know you're nervous now, but after everyone has gone I'm going to ask you if you enjoyed it, and I bet you'll say yes.”

“I hope you're right. I'm very tempted to leave now, before they get here.”

“I can tell, but you're too late. Here comes Missy.”

Missy made her way between the tables, stopping to say hello to people here and there. Laughing and joking. Megan could see why she and Michael got along so well. He'd said that they were best friends when they were kids.

“Hey, ladies.” She reached their table and hugged them both. Megan was getting used to the way everyone seemed to be so huggy here—she liked it. Missy sat down next to her. “I'm so glad you came. I was ready to come pick you up if you'd chickened out.”

Megan smiled. Missy already had her figured out. She didn't seem to miss a trick. “I'm glad I came too. I think.”

Missy laughed. “At least you're honest about it. You're going to have to get used to it though, and I think it's a smart move to come out with just the girls first.”

“Definitely,” said Emma. “This can be a practice run for tonight, too. You are going to come, aren't you?”

Megan nodded slowly. “I think so.” Michael had given her the choice. Most of the gang were coming over to the resort tonight to listen to the band. He'd said they could join them, if she wanted to. If not, they could eat at Giuseppe's again. She felt really torn. She knew he would have more fun here with his friends, but she would never choose to spend an evening with a whole group of people. Or at least she never would have before. Now she was a little curious. It might be fun, if she dared to do it. She was learning that was the way things usually turned out around Michael.

“Oh, you should come,” said Missy. “I won't be here, because I've got the boys, but it's always a great night. You'll enjoy it.”

“You know what I'm like though, Missy. It's scary.”

Missy wrinkled her nose at her. “I remember a certain someone being scared of going out with Michael not so long ago. And you can't tell me that isn't turning out well, that you're not glad you did.”

Megan felt her cheeks flush.
