Sarah sat up suddenly, and a few of the cucumbers fell to her lap. She grabbed them up, knowing she'd reacted just a little too much. She started to stick them back on, but she realized she didn’t know which spot on her face they’d fallen from. Finally she dropped her hands to her lap with resignation.

She couldn’t take it anymore. She had to talk to somebody about this or she’d go stark raving mad. She put the cucumbers on a nearby tray and swung her legs around to the side of the lounge.

"Okay," she said carefully. "If I tell you guys something, you can’t breathe a word of it. Understand?”

They all nodded. Sarah pointedly fixed her gaze on Liz.

Liz blinked. “What?”

“Not one word,” Sarah said.

“Me? What makes you think I’m going to say something?”

“History. When we were kids, you had a problem keeping your mouth shut.“

“Hey! That happened once!”

Sarah pursed her lips. “More like once a week.”

“Just tell us,” Kelsey said. “If Liz talks, I’ll kill her for you myself.”

Sarah took a deep, shuddering breath. “Nick and I knew each other before Randall and I met.”

“You ‘knew’ him?" Kelsey said. "Exactly what do you mean?”

Sarah raised an eyebrow.

“Oh, boy,” Kelsey said. “You slept with Randall’s brother?”

“Now, wait a minute! You have to hear the whole story. I hadn’t even met Randall yet. And I didn’t realize they were brothers until Nick showed up here at the resort.”

“Holy crap," Liz said. "Did he know you were Randall’s fiancee before he came here?”

“It’s why he came here.”

"To get you back?" Kelsey asked.

"No! He never had me in the first place!"

"What do you mean?"

"Wait a minute," Sarah said, waving her hand. "Let me start over. I flew to Park City for Sundance like I do every year. I met him there. It was just one weekend. That's all."

"Just a fling," Kelsey said.

"Exactly."

"I don't get it. Why just one weekend?"

Sarah started to answer, but for some reason, all her brain could do was repeat the question. Why just one weekend?

"Because Nick and I were never compatible," she finally said.

"So when you were in Park City, you and Nick agreed not to see each other anymore?"

"Well, no. Not exactly. I just kinda…left." Sarah cringed. "Before he woke up."

"You walked out on him in the middle of the night?" Liz said.

"Hey! The sun was coming up! You know. A little. And I did leave a note."

"Did he try to contact you after that?"

"I don't know. I didn't exactly leave him contact information."

"Why not?"

"I told you before. We're incompatible."

"So what makes you incompatible?"

"Our personalities are totally different."

"Opposites attract,” Liz said. “Everybody knows that.”

"Wait a minute! Why are we discussing my compatibility with Nick? I'm engaged to Randall!"

"Speaking of Randall," Liz said, "you told me you met him on a flight from Park City to Houston. Does this mean…"

Her voice trailed off, and Sarah wanted to die.

"Are you kidding me?" Liz said. "You met Randall on the plane coming back from the Sundance Festival? After you slept with his brother?"

Sarah closed her eyes.
