Well, shit. I stewed on it all night and when I still didn’t know what to do the next morning, I texted Kaylee and Bri on a group text. Do either of you have plans tonight? Wanna come over for some girl talk?

I was so not in the mood for alcohol, but I needed advice in the worst way. I just hoped Kaylee didn’t have a date and Bri could get a babysitter at short notice. Actually… I pulled my phone out. Bri, you can bring Hayden if you don’t have a sitter.

Turned out, Bri could get a sitter and she was happy to switch her plans from organizing her pantry to girl talk with me. And Kaylee responded like an hour before Bri was due to arrive saying she’d just woken up and wouldn’t mind a bit of the hair of the dog that bit her.

They arrived at eight, each with a bag in tow. “Where’s the corkscrew?” Bri asked. “We’re spending the night, right?” She blew her black curly hair out of her face and grinned as she held up the bags in her arms. Glass bottles clanked inside them. “‘Cause I need a night where I’m in a safe place and can drink and do whatever without somebody creeping on me.”

“That’s fine,” I said. I’d spent the day cleaning up and making the place hospitable. “I’ve got a guest room and one of you can either sleep with the other, or with me, or on the couch.”

Kaylee winked and walked toward the kitchen. “Come on, Bri, I know where the wine glasses are.”

“None for me,” I called.

Kaylee stopped dead and turned to stare at me. “What do you mean none for you? Are you pregnant?”

I gave her a flat look. “You know damn well I’m not pregnant, and it’s kinda shitty of you to joke.”

Her face fell. “You’re right, I’m sorry. It slipped out without me thinking about it.” She disappeared in the kitchen, but then returned seconds later and threw her arms around me. “I love you, SkyePie.” She’d called me that since I’d eaten an entire apple pie at a dinner with her one night. I didn’t mind, I was pretty proud of that accomplishment.

I smacked a kiss on her cheek and stepped back. “It’s okay. No, not pregnant, I’ve just been drinking too much lately, and I don’t want another hangover like I had the other night. It’s cool, though, you two go ahead.”

When we got settled in with the chips and dip that Bri brought and the wine that Kaylee brought, we got down to the nitty-gritty. I explained about our kisses, my attraction to Anthony, then I had to go back and give Bri the full rundown about what had happened between us when we were teenagers. And what hadn’t happened.

When I finished the whole long, sordid story, they agreed on one course of action.

“You’ve got to go for it,” Bri said.

Kaylee nodded. “What is life if you don’t take risks? Sure, it might end up badly, but then you’ll get over it.
