Jamie fumbled for her ringing cell phone. By the time she found it on her bedside table, it had stopped ringing. Figured. She struggled to a sitting position in her bed, wishing she could’ve stayed asleep for a bit longer. She’d driven from Chase’s show in Milwaukee straight to Detroit, where she worked a nine-hour shift before finally going home. All this had been on barely four hours of sleep. She’d woken up at oh-dark-thirty to pee and had ended up pinned beneath Chase’s hard body, his sleepy eyes tender and lustful. She couldn’t—and didn’t—say no to him, so she’d never gone back to sleep.

Now it was Tuesday morning—Jamie glanced at her phone and swore—okay, fine, Tuesday afternoon…and she was still feeling groggy and in need of sleep. She’d crashed hard when she got home, but it had been a broken and not entirely restful sleep. She’d kept partially waking and finding herself alone in bed.

Two nights with Chase, and I already miss him in my bed, Jamie thought. I’ve got it bad.

The voicemail notification beeped, and Jamie played the message. “Hey, hooker, it’s me,” Anna’s voice said. “Haven’t seen you in forever, and I miss your face. Call me. Or better yet, lunch at BD’s at one? ’Kay, good. See you there.”

Jamie leapt out of bed, swearing. It was twelve-twenty. Knowing Anna, she’d show up at Mongolian Bar-B-Q at one and expect Jamie to be there. Showering and dressing in record time, Jamie skipped makeup except for the basic blush, mascara, and lip gloss, and bolted out the door. As she expected, Anna was waiting with a diet Coke when Jamie showed up ten minutes late.

“There you are,” Anna said, getting up to hug Jamie. “Wondered if you’d gotten my message.”

“Yeah, sorry I’m late,” Jamie said. “I had a bit of lie-in.”

Anna laughed even as her face wrinkled in confused frown. “‘A bit of a lie-in’? Starting to talk like Ian, are we?” Anna shook her head, chuckling. “Shall we carry on to the table and have a spot of lunch?” She said this with a terrible faux-British accent.

Jamie frowned. “Did I say that?”

“Yeah, you kind of did.”

Jamie tilted her head back and groaned volubly. “I can’t believe I actually said that. That was one of Ian’s favorite phrases.”

Anna cast a quizzical look at Jamie as they scooped uncooked chicken and vegetables into their bowls. “Was?”

Jamie bit her lip. She wasn’t quite ready for that part of the conversation, but Anna knew her too well for Jamie to be able to dissemble for long. “Yeah, well…you know what I mean.”

Anna scooped teriyaki sauce into a ramekin and set the dishes on the counter for the grill guy. “Maybe I don’t.” She dug her cell phone out of her pocket and tapped a message, then sent it and turned back to Jamie. “You’re being purposefully vague, and I don’t like it. Spill, sister.”

Jamie watched the grillers show off with their grill-sword things, trying to come up with a suitable response that would still buy her time.
