More comical gasping and some stuttering at that one.

“That’s crazy, right?” I asked, hoping to hear a sensible opinion.

I didn’t get one. Even sensible Brenda thought he was romantic, and hopelessly in love with me.

I didn’t tell them that he’d never said he loved me. It will hurt to say it out loud, I thought.

“You guys would have supermodel babies,” Judith said on a sigh, in fantasyland.

Jessa was watching me closely, and seemed to see something on my face at Judith’s words. “Oh, my,

god, have you guys talked about having kids?”

I grimaced. “He mentioned it briefly. He dropped the issue when he saw that it made me want to run

screaming. It’s all way too fast, right? It’s crazy to move so fast in a relationship, right?” I asked, again

looking for a voice of sanity.

“Martin said he knew he was going to marry me on our very first date. He said he just knew, like

something in his mind clicked. He said I was the missing piece in his life’s puzzle. He pursued me until I

saw it, too. And that was twenty years and two kids ago, so it worked out for us.” Brenda smiled as her

story got ‘ahs’ around the room.

Okay, even I could admit that story was pretty sweet.

“James strikes me as a man who knows what he wants,” Brenda continued. “I don’t see him changing

his mind, either, not with the way he looks at you.”

Okay, I am not going to get any sobering advice from this crowd, I decided.

Next we moved on to manicures and pedicures, the guys joining us again. They weren’t a cute couple, I

decided, watching them. They were beautiful, Stephan so muscular and golden, Javier so, well, pretty,

and elegantly built.

“Me and Marnie are official losing it, guys,” Judith told us all.

“Did we ever even have it?” Marnie asked her, mock despair in her voice.

“What happened?” Jessa asked, laughing at the outrageous women. They were like a comedy duo,

playing off of each other for an entertaining routine.

“We tried to get a guy to do a three-way with us, and he turned us down! ” Judith’s voice was

bewildered.

I giggled a little. The unexpected turn of conversation had surprised it out of me.

“Captain Damien?” Stephan asked them sympathetically, but he couldn’t quite hold back his smile.

Marnie and Judith were in pedicure chairs next to each other, and they nodded at the same time, as

though in sync.

“Don’t take it personal, girls, he’s hopelessly in love with Bianca,” Javier said, his first words in a

while.

Stephan gave him a look, and Javier winced at me sympathetically.

My face flushed. I hoped he was joking, or at least mistaken.

“That’s not fair!” Judith told me. “You have Mr. Beautiful. Give us Damien!”

I wrinkled my nose. “Damien is just a friend. He’s not in love with me.” My voice was almost

apologetic. I looked to Stephan for support. “You talk to him all the time, Stephan. Tell them he’s not

into me.”

Stephan grimaced. “I’ve told him, over and over again, that you’re not interested in him like that, but he

at least has a very enduring crush.
