As soon as dessert was over and the speeches concluded, Eva said her goodbyes, and under the excuse of tying up the details for the ceremony, she escaped the rehearsal dinner. But not before whispering in Andi’s ear that they would talk in the morning about what they both suspected. Surprisingly, Andi didn’t seem worried or stressed by the thought that she might be pregnant. In fact, the realization seemed to have the opposite effect on her. She’d been smiling and more relaxed than she had been all week.

But then again, why should she be stressed? Andi was marrying the man of her dreams in less than twenty-four hours. A baby would only be an added blessing to them. Not a reason for worry.

"I’ll be by first thing tomorrow to help you get ready," Eva said. "Have a great evening. It’s your last one as Andi Williams."

"Don’t I know it?" Her smile was huge and contagious. "Where are you headed to now? I thought everything was ready for tomorrow?"

"It is," Eva said quickly. She didn’t need the bride concerned about anything. "There’s just one little detail I need to take care of with Jeff."

"Is that right? And what might that be?"

Eva swatted her friend on the shoulder. "Stop it. I need to choose your horse, is all. Besides, you know that Troy is my date tomorrow." The lie felt toxic on her tongue and by the look on Andi’s face, she knew it too.

"About that," Andi said. "Turns out that Troy is gay. Colin got a good laugh out of it when I told him you were dating him." She emphasized the word dating. "So maybe your trip to see the horses tonight is about a little more than just my ride tomorrow?"

Eva looked away, not ready to tell Andi anything. Not when she didn’t even understand things herself. "I’ll see you in the morning," she said, and gave Andi one last hug.

She wasn’t sure what to expect when she arrived at the stables, and she was certainly no more dressed for it than she was the first time she’d ventured down, but there was a nervous anticipation in her belly. And even though Eva wasn’t sure what was going on between her and Jeff, she couldn’t stop thinking about the kiss, and the way it had twisted her insides in a very good, incredibly exciting way.

But she’d have to tell Jeff the truth about Troy, because the other thing Eva couldn’t stop thinking about was the look on Jeff’s face when he’d seen her with Troy’s arm around her shoulders. And he hadn’t shown up for dinner either, so maybe she was wrong about everything. Maybe he really did only want to talk to her about the horse.

"Hello," Eva called out as she picked her way across the yard. The only light was coming from the barn, so despite her better judgment about being so close to a building full of horses, she headed towards them. "Jeff?" she called as she got to the door.
