“YOU LOOK DIFFERENT.”

Jayde looked at Janet who was across the space of the room in her house that seconded as the office for Flips by Chics. She was sitting at her desk, thrumming her fingers, with a curious expression marring her delicate features. “You noticed. I put a little mascara on this morning.”

“No. Something else.” Janet narrowed her gaze.

“Hmm. Maybe I’ve lost weight? Got some color?” Jayde looked down at the purchase order she was trying to read. Her friend might see straight into what she’d done last weekend.

“How did things go at the island house?”

Giving a slight shrug, she put on a nonchalant attitude. “Oh, same as always. Did some painting. Pounding. That’s about it.” Her face warmed as her thoughts meandered back to what she and Merf shared. She had an urge to fan herself, but instead turned around and lowered the temperature setting on the AC thermostat. “I’ve been thinking…”

“Uh-oh.”

“What?”

Janet chuckled. “When you suggest that you’ve been thinking it means there should be a drumroll.”

“I’m not sure I’m ready to put the Cross House up for sale.”

“As in you still have renovations?”

“As in I love it there.”

Janet leaned on her elbows. “Sweetie, have you forgotten something? A problem?”

“What are you referring to?”

“A handsome, two-hundred-pound problem.”

“Oh, that. He wants to continue with the plan.”

“Well, it was your agreement. Do you have another option? Can you buy him out?”

Jayde looked out the window and sighed. “Probably not.”

“Is there a plan C?”

“That he and I could take on the task together. Open Cross House up for a bed and breakfast. No doubt we will have earned back every dime we’ve sunk into the renovations in the first year and turn a profit by year two.”

Janet’s chuckle brought her chin up.

“What, Janet?”

“You had sex with him, didn’t you?”

Her friend’s accusation made Jayde’s toes curl. Jayde wasn’t sure why she became flushed when she and her bestie talked about sex. Possibly because Jayde had barely recovered from the wild weekend. In fact, her inner thighs were still raw. Scooting her chair closer to her desk, she propped her elbows on the edge and sighed. “I don’t have any idea what you’re talking about.”

Her snort vibrated the walls. “Well, I’ll tell you. You left Friday hating his pretentious guts and come Monday you want to open a bed and breakfast with the guy. Yeah, you crossed a line, but can’t say I blame you. I wouldn’t kick him out of my bed.”

“Is it that obvious?”

Janet slapped her knee. “I knew it! And by the new light in your eyes, I’m also very jealous. I always knew the man had…a nice tool.”

“I don’t kiss and tell, but I also have no complaints.”

“What the hell? The rumors about that house are true. You were caught under a spell by the ghost. What’s her name?”

“Elena. And no, the place isn’t haunted. Just for the record, I never said I couldn’t stand him.”

“You didn’t have to. All the other creative words said so.”

Jayde shrugged. “Apparently, I was a bit mistaken.
