“I like you. That way. This way. Lots of ways. I definitely like you.”

Those words have stuck with me these past twenty-four hours like nothing ever has. Operation Coffee and a Blowjob might have been a failure but, despite that, we had talked which was something I had wanted, and maybe needed, even more.

“I wouldn’t label it a failure. If his dad hadn’t walked in…”

“Please, don’t remind me of the fact Mr. Wolfe found me on the floor of his son’s office contemplating oral sex,” I tell Drew as we’re heading into the country club.

She laughs, shaking her hair which is freshly dyed a vivid violet to match her dress tonight, and appears as unfazed by my mortification as she was the first time I retold the tale. I find myself laughing with her. “I never could’ve gone through with it. Assuming he didn’t get tired of my inexperienced attempts and told me to please stop-”

“Honey, I really don’t think you’d need to worry about that.”

“Well, I think perhaps certain first times should occur behind firmly locked doors and far away from potential discovery.”

“It’s clear you didn’t lose it in the backseat of someone’s car, though a hayloft doesn’t fit your criteria either,” Drew says, snorting back more laughter.

“God, not in the backseat! Simmons probably would’ve wound up pecking on the glass - ‘Miss Eleanor, your father expects you home at such and such time this evening so if you could wrap things up...’” A server approaches us with champagne as Drew cackles.

“Thank you for being my companion tonight, by the way,” I tell Drew once I’ve thanked him and he moves on. Grayson had sent me an email last night reiterating that he would see me at the ball but had a meeting that might run him late. Considering everything, I preferred not to arrive alone.

“No problem. Only way I’d get to be here as a guest. Now, let’s find me an outrageously wealthy and single silver fox to marry and give me all the money I need to start my restaurant.”

We giggle together and survey the crowd. No single silver foxes in sight, alas. “I’d be your silver fox if I could.” Drew grins and hugs me. I know people always warn you about going into business with your friends but I truly believe we would have such a great time running a restaurant together.

Just like at the golf tournament, there are people staring at me here, gossiping and making assumptions. I really don’t like it. It doesn’t help my mood that my mom passed away this time of year but I know she wouldn’t want me to sit around being sad all weekend. My father will be here later. He had a meeting, unusual for a Saturday afternoon, and said to go on without him. I know he’ll migrate to his usual set of friends and, other than an obligatory dance with his daughter at some point, he’ll expect me to socialize with people my age. I sigh, wishing we were closer.
