Wednesday, May 8

What a difference two days could make. It was only two nights before that she’d eaten dinner with Andrew here at Candy’s Café, and what a surreal experience that had been. And now, after another full, fruitless, and frustrating day of job hunting, it was a relief to spend time again with her Chick Flick Clique friends. They always made everything seem better. Maybe they would have ideas of a job she could get that didn’t involve an ex-boyfriend.

In the back room, Breezy dropped her five-dollar bill into the wide-mouthed vase.

On the couch closest to the door, Dani patted the empty spot between her and the governor’s daughter Sonnet. Miss America’s mother Iris and her regal daughter’s friend April sat on the other couch. Lindsey, school teacher Beth Lawrence, and Candy sat on the armchairs between.

With a sigh of relief, Breezy settled on the couch. “What are we watching tonight?”

“Candy won’t tell us,” Dani groused. “She’s being mean.”

“Poor babies. I just thought we might want to choose something after everyone arrived. And it’s eight o’clock, so it looks like we’re all here.” Candy laughed. “At least those who are going to get a vote are here.”

“How are the kids, April?”

April had two little ones. “Jordan is home watching them tonight. Do him good to be reminded of all I do keeping track of them.”

Sonnet juggled her plate, set her cup on the end table, and turned to Breezy. “Dani said you’re looking for a job. Have you found one yet?”

Breezy blew out a noisy breath. “Three days of walking the mean streets of Aspen Grove and I’ve found absolutely nothing.”

“The mean streets of Aspen Grove?” Candy snorted. “That’s pretty funny.”

“It would be funnier if I’d gotten more than just a temporary job offer from an old boyfriend.”

Instantly, every woman in the room focused her attention on Breezy.

“Andrew?” Beth asked in a tone of voice that suggested she found this very romantic.

Breezy nodded. “None other than Andrew North.”

“Wow.” Sonnet raised an eyebrow. “Did you agree to work for him?”

“Are you kidding? There’s no way I can ever work with him now. Not after all that’s happened between us.”

Iris tipped her head in question. “Why not? Didn’t you date for years, starting in high school?”

“Yes, and thank you for remembering that particular painful memory.” Breezy lightened her words with a smile. “That is precisely why I can never, ever work with him. He’s got way too much surfer charisma going on.”

“The man is gorgeous.” Candy pretended to swoon. “And I think he may have actually matured a little.”

Dani lifted a brownie halfway to her lips. “That’s a good thing because he was pretty immature before.” She took a bite.

Beth looked vulnerable. “Did he leave you for someone else?”

“Not for another woman,” Breezy said, her heart remembering the pain of his leaving. “But it didn’t feel much better to get left behind for a bigger city.”

“Maybe you could work things out,” Beth said. “Sometimes all someone needs is a second chance.
