Shelle had finished with all her dogs for the day and had agreed to meet me for a drink after work. She glided into the place looking like a million bucks. No one ever would have known that barely an hour ago, she’d been picking up dog shit in little plastic baggies.

“Hiiiiii!” she screeched, running toward me.

Oh my god. Her hair.

“What did you do to your bangs?” I asked.

Her hand flew to her head, where she started smoothing her bangs into place.

“Why? Is something wrong with them?” she asked, stiffly.

Shit. Why did I open my big mouth?

“No, not at all,” I said, hoping I could backtrack.

“Well,” she replied, sniffing. “I trimmed them myself. I didn’t have time to go to the hairdresser. I’ve been way too busy with my business. “

She wouldn’t look at me. Note to self—don’t ever comment on Shelle’s bangs again.

I waved the bartender over and ordered two beers. When he delivered them, she perked back up.

“Anyway,” she said, having forgotten about my earlier insult. “What’s up with your house? And all your boys?”

I took a deep breath. “Well, I might have a solution for the house. Or, at least a partial solution. And, it’s tied to the guys. Well, a couple of them anyway.”

“Seriously? Girl, you always land on your feet. I swear.” She rolled her eyes, still fingering her bangs.

“Hardly. How is having a boyfriend dump me, sticking me with a shit show of a house, landing on my feet? You are insane.”

“Okay, okay. It was just a figure of speech.” She held her hands in surrender.

“So, two of the guys have offered to pitch in and help with the house. Carter, the contractor, and Wyatt, the plumber. I feel a little weird about it, though. I’m not sure.”

“Are you nuts? TAKE THEIR HELP. Don’t be an idiot. Swallow your pride and save your future.”

“Yeah. I don’t know.”

“If it means you may be able to keep the house, then it’s a no-brainer.”

“And then there’s the bank.” Ugh, that familiar stomach knot came roaring back.

“Oh, yeah,” she said with a sneer. I loved her for that.

“I talked to them, and of course, they’re being dicks. I told them if they could get me more time, I might be able to successfully sell the house at a good price. I mean, that would be better for everyone, right?” I asked.

“Well, yeah.”

“But the guy at the bank said I was bringing him my proposal at the ‘eleventh hour.’ I mean, what a dick. I only found out just after Lance left that he’d not been paying the mortgage. Personally, I think I’m moving pretty fast on this whole fiasco.”

“Not to mention, moving fast with the dudes.” She smiled at me wickedly. She’d always been a big fan of sowing one’s wild oats. I had a lot of catching up to do, but it seemed I was well on my way. “So, do you have any other new guys I should know about?”

“I do, as a matter of fact. The odd thing is, he’s best friends with my neighbor, Carter.
