Eden couldn’t stop smiling. Not that she was generally an unhappy person, but her usual happy place was the stage . . . not the San Antonio River Walk. She hated going out in public, and yet this was the most fun she’d had in ages.

Then again, she and Anna always seemed to have fun together, whether they were sightseeing or rehearsing or watching a movie together in bed. Maybe that explained why she couldn’t seem to get Anna out of her head, but deep down, she was starting to have her doubts. Straight women didn’t fantasize about kissing their female friends, and lately, Eden couldn’t seem to stop thinking about kissing Anna.

She wasn’t ready to acknowledge those thoughts yet, though. Maybe she never would be. She and Anna were friends, and Eden wasn’t about to ruin the dynamic between them, especially not when she was so confused about her sexuality.

“Penny for your thoughts,” Anna said.

Eden blinked, yanking herself out of her spiraling thoughts, none of which she’d share with Anna for any amount of money. God. Her cheeks felt too hot. “Just thinking that this is the most fun I’ve had in a while. Thanks for pushing me to come, although I still can’t quite believe no one’s recognized us.” She dropped her voice on that last part.

She and Anna were seated at an outdoor table at one of the restaurants that lined the river walk, having an early dinner before they went back to the hotel to get ready for the show.

“Just out of curiosity, the last time you went out in public, did you and Zach take a stroll down Rodeo Drive looking like the ultimate celebrity ‘it’ couple?” Anna’s eyes twinkled with humor.

“Not Rodeo Drive, but I guess most of my negative experiences were in LA.” Eden sighed. “I’ve been missing out, haven’t I?”

“I can’t answer that question for you,” Anna said. “But if today was any indicator, we should do this more often. Think of all the cities we can explore together!”

“Yes,” Eden agreed. “I’d like to do this again, although not in every city. We need to rest when we can. You won’t believe how exhausted you’ll be after a few months on the road.”

“Oh, I’m sure you’re right. Right now, I’m so giddy about being on tour for the first time that I feel invincible.”

“Maybe you are,” Eden countered with a wink, and she caught herself staring at Anna’s lips again. “I had a lot more energy in my twenties too.”

“Stop that right there.” Anna pointed an accusatory finger at her. “We’ve already been over this, and you’re only nine years older than me.”

Nine years felt like a lot when Eden thought about kissing her, especially when she remembered the way Anna used to idolize her. Their meals arrived, saving Eden from that line of thought. Her stomach growled as she surveyed her enchiladas. They looked incredible. The chips and salsa they’d munched on while they waited for their entrées had been wonderful too.
