SEVENTEEN

LIZ LAID HER HEAD IN HER HANDS. “I’M BORED.”

Jenna grinned and refilled Elizabeth’s glass of wine from the bottle sitting at their table. “You’re not bored. You have an awesome job that keeps you running all the time. Your problem is that you miss Gavin.”

“Of course I do, though I’d never admit that to anyone but you.” She picked up the glass and took a sip. “Spring training sucks. Baseball sucks.”

Jenna fought back a laugh. “You agreed to marry him. You know what he does for a living. Hell, he was your client until you two got engaged and you had to give him up because of conflict of interest.”

“Yeah, that part sucked, but what could I do? I can’t negotiate on behalf of someone I’m in love with. I can’t be objective where he’s concerned. But I got him a great agent. Not as great as me, of course.”

“Naturally.”

Liz had called her this morning and asked for a lunch date, and since Jenna had the day off, it was perfect. After her last encounter with Ty, she needed some perspective and girl talk, and Liz was a no-bullshit straight shooter. Jenna didn’t confide in many people, but Liz was one of those people she trusted.

“You could fly down to Florida and visit him.”

“I’m a distraction and he needs to focus on work.”

Jenna dug into the bread on the table and pulled out a piece, waving it at Liz for emphasis. “And I’m sure he misses you as much as you miss him. He’d probably play better if you were there.”

Liz shrugged. “Maybe. Maybe not.”

“Are your friends Haley and Shawnelle down there?”

“Shawnelle is. Haley couldn’t make it because she has classes this semester.”

“Then Shawnelle could probably use a friend, too. You should go.”

Liz leaned back in the chair and grabbed a piece of bread. “I should.” She looked up and met Jenna’s gaze. “God, I’m a mess, Jen. Who knew I’d fall so ugly in love with a guy? He’s made me a sloppy romantic. All I do is think about him. When he’s on the road we text, we sext—”

Jenna held up a hand. “Way too much information. Gavin’s my brother, remember?”

Liz grinned. “Tough. You’re my friend so you have to listen to the sex parts, too. Just pretend he’s someone else. I can’t get enough of him. I thought I was old enough to get past the infatuation, that it would ease off after we were together for a while, but it hasn’t. If anything, it’s stronger now than it ever was. Not just the hot sex, though that’s still spectacular. But the romance, the way I feel when he looks at me or holds my hand. It’s like a goddamned fairy tale.”

Jenna’s heart did a flip. “It’s love, honey. That’s what it’s supposed to be like.”

“I guess. I just never knew.” Liz reached across the table and squeezed her hand. “I’m going to get all sappy here and tell you that when it hits you, it’s going to be a lightning bolt to your heart and you’re never, ever going to be the same.
