“Oh my goodness, this is so perfect!” Bianca exclaimed through a mouthful of a huge banana split.

Klao looked at her, thinking how unfair the world was. Here was Bianca – bright, beautiful doctor, engaged to a hot man, and able to enjoy a banana split without worrying about the effects the ice cream and whipped cream would have on her hips and thighs.

“Where did you find this girl?” Samantha asked. She could empathise with Klao. She could not even look at a burger without going up a dress size. “And where was she when wedding planners were robbing me blind two years ago?”

“She’s Matt’s sister,” Klao said, not recalling she had not mentioned anything about Matt to Samantha. She recalled the second the words were out of her mouth, and could almost anticipate Samantha’s follow up question.

“Who’s Matt?”

“This guy I met…” Klao began evasively, willing herself not to blush.

“You’re seeing someone?”

“No!”

“This guy is clearly interested in her, but she won’t give him the time of day!” Andie said, filling her sister in. Like Bianca, she could eat whatever she wanted without worrying about becoming fat.

“She’s been giving him more than the time of day!” Bianca piped in. “Paul Risoa busted them out on a date a couple of weeks ago.”

Andie had not known that. She looked at Klao, wide-eyed.

“Really?”

Samantha shook her head. “You cannot do anything and let Paul Risoa see you!”

“Who the hell is Paul Risoa?” Klao asked in awe. She could not believe everyone knew this man and she didn’t.

“Some old friend of Grandpa’s,” Samantha told her. “He was at my wedding.”

“Does he have to come to mine?” Bianca asked, reaching for her growing guest list. It was becoming like her PE charge card – never leave home without it.

“We were talking about Klao’s guy!” Andie reminded them. She was frustrated with her sister and cousins. There was no one like them to change the subject.

“He’s not my guy!” Klao reminded her, feeling a bit sad as she said it.

“Not yet!” Bianca prophesied.

“Not ever!” Klao insisted.

“What’s wrong with him?” Samantha asked. She pulled out her BlackBerry. A message had just come in from Jeremy. She read it and frowned. “Everyone seems to know about your new guy except me. Is this what happens when you have children? You get totally left out of the loop?”

“There’s really nothing to tell, Sam,” Klao said trying to appear nonchalant. “I just met this guy in Megamart, and we hung out for a bit. I met his sister, Mary, and she asked me to show Bianca her book. Really, I’m not interested in him…”

“So why do you look so sad?” Samantha had a world of experience with heartbreak, so she could read her cousin like an open book.

“I’m not sad!”

“You areso on the brink of tear droplets right now!” Samantha disagreed. “What happened? Did he try to feel you up?”

Klao looked at her cousin. She was so off base. She was on the brink of tear droplets, but definitely not because Matt had tried to feel her up.
