In Maria’s apartment, Amy paced restlessly. What had happened? Why was Troy kissing her like there was no tomorrow one moment and literally running out the door and acting all cold the next? It was definitely possible that he did have a girlfriend and that thought sucked big time. But what would suck even more would be if he just plain didn’t like her.

The ringing of the phone jolted her out of her brooding. She answered it with the irrational hope it might be Troy.

“Hey, Amy. We’re finally docked after a day at sea and I just wanted to check on how you and Taz were doing.” Maria sounded cheerful and relaxed even as Amy’s world was being turned upside down by the fireman next door.

“Taz?” Amy searched her brain. Who the hell was Taz?

“Yeah. That cat of mine hasn’t spilled any coffee in your laptop yet, has he? Keep an eye on him. You know Taz has a habit of doing that.” Maria laughed.

“Oh, yeah. No. He and I have an understanding. He stays away from my things, I stay away from his.” Amy glanced over and noticed the empty cat bowl. She scurried over to fill it with dry food before Maria somehow sensed she was neglecting her pet sitting duties.

“Listen, before I lose you. I totally forgot before I left to mail in the RSVP for Brad and Alyssa’s wedding. You remember Brad, right? He’s the guy that rescued my manuscript from my laptop after the coffee incident last year. The invite should be right on the desk next to my computer. Could you just fill in that I’ll be attending with Elena and pop it in the mail for me?”

Amy walked over to the desk and picked up the embossed large white invitation. She ran her finger lightly over the words. “Today I Marry My Friend. Bradley Montgomery Morgan and Alyssa Marie Jones request the honor of your presence…”

“Amy?”

“Yeah, I’m here. Sorry, I was just looking for it on the desk. I found it. I’ll mail it for you.” Amy wiped her eyes.

“Great. Thanks.”

“Um, Maria. Can I ask you a quick question?”

“Shoot.”

“What’s up with your neighbor Troy? Does he have a girlfriend or anything?”

“Ha! I told Elena he was your type. I wanted to introduce you two and she said you wouldn’t be interested. And no, no girlfriend that I know of. I’ve never even seen a girl in that apartment. And he is the nicest guy you’ll ever meet. So go for it.”

That was her intention, if Troy was willing. That was the big question. Was he? “I will definitely think about it. Thanks, Maria.”

It took all afternoon to gather the courage, but Amy finally stood at Troy’s door and raised her hand almost to the bell. Then she chickened out and ran back to Maria’s apartment, closing the door quietly behind her. She didn’t know why she was being such a sissy.

She knew Troy was alone because she’d heard his door open and close about an hour ago.
