Chapter Twelve

Sophie lay on Julie's counter, watching the florist whip up an enormous arrangement all in white. It looked funerary to her, but what did she know about flowers?

Honestly, she couldn’t care less about funerals, flowers, or even deadlines, which Julie had barked that she was under. She just wanted her friend to talk to. "I know you're giving me the silent treatment, but it won't work."

Julie didn't even blink, but she did shove another stalk into the bouquet with so much force that it snapped. Cursing under her breath, she grabbed another and shoved it in with more care.

"I heard your language," Sophie said. "You have a surprising potty mouth for someone who still dresses like a kid."

Her friend slammed a set of scissors on the worktable. "Why me?"

Sophie shrugged. "Because I like you. Because you like me. Because we have more in common than you'd think, but it's certainly not grooming, because I'd never do that to my hair."

Julie touched her ponytail. "What's wrong with my hair?"

"Nothing." It was so her and, therefore, it was perfect. Sophie pulled out two bottles of water from the refrigerator and handed one to Julie. "Drink."

"What is it with you and water?" But she took the bottle, savagely twisted the cap off, and guzzled half of it. "So what's your problem?"

"Pal Greenland hasn't called me to say whether I got the part or not."

"So call him."

She had, but his assistant had just brushed her off. "That's not my biggest problem right now."

"I know, because I'm about to call People and tell them you're hiding out in my store."

"You talk a big game, but I know you'd never do that." Affection filled her heart, and she almost got up to hug Julie. "One day I'm going to take you out to be made over."

"Don't threaten me." Julie pulled a bucket out from under the table and sat down with a groan. "Okay, I'm paying attention. Tell me what's really bothering you."

She was going to deny that she had any problem other than Pal, but before she could stop herself, she said, "It's Tony."

"I knew it." Julie grinned crookedly. "What did he do this time? Ooze hotness in your general direction?"

"He made me dinner last night." Well, he'd ordered Thai food to be delivered, but that was as good as slaving over a hot stove in her estimation.

"Really?" Her friend's eyebrows shot up. "Willingly?"

"No, at gunpoint. Of course, willingly." She pursed her lips. "I've never had to force a man to spend time with me."

"So maybe this is a good thing." At her incredulous look, Julie shrugged. "You'll value him more if he makes you work for it."

That was the thing—she already valued him so much more than she had any other man. She just wasn't sure how she felt about her.

It was driving her crazy.

But it wasn't as infuriating as the crush she felt for him. She was Sophie Martineau. The world revered her, and here she was mooning over a man. She
