“Nachos? I haven’t eaten nachos in years.” Melanie looked at the spread of appetizers before them. The clams weren’t fattening by themselves, but eating them without the focaccia bread, which was practically dripping with butter, would be a crime. The deep fried calamari was popular with the table, though she’d never been a big fan of it. But nachos. She had a totally ridiculous weak spot for nachos.

“It’s okay,” Perrin dipped a piece of the bread into the clam juices, bit off a chunk, and sighed happily as she bit in. “Nothing here has calories or fat. Not as long as we’re all together. It’s one of the rules.”

Melanie could already feel that second glass of wine. She never drank two glasses. Hell, she never drank one. She tried closing one eye, then both. But the nachos were still there teasing her nose. She opened one eye, the others were watching her.

“You are all bad influences.”

There was a small cheer and much pride displayed around the table. “Don’t make us suffer alone!”

Melanie didn’t. She dipped the crab nacho into the dish of fresh-made guacamole and decided she was going to have to marry the chef.

“So, how far along are you?”

“With what?” Melanie really hoped Perrin was asking about her business. Even if Melanie hadn’t told Perrin she was working on it, she really hoped that’s what it was.

Perrin’s eye roll informed Melanie that her hopes were dashed.

Jo and Cassidy looked perplexed, so no one was talking behind her back at least. Though Maria’s smile looked far too knowing for her comfort.

Melanie looked back at Perrin and assessed the situation. Nope, no way out of it. So, she’d give a little.

“We spent the day taking a ferry over to Bainbridge Island for lunch.”

“So, that’s why you left my shop so fast,” Perrin nodded and Melanie would leave her with possession of that bit of misinformation. It had been embarrassing enough sharing a full panic attack with Joshua; she didn’t intend to share it with the rest of the world.

“Wait!” Cassidy held up her hands. “Wait just a second.” She leaned forward as far as she could without upsetting the table. “You and who?”

She opened her mouth but Perrin leapt in on her moment of hesitation.

“She’s sleeping with Josh Harper.”

“I am not!”

“You’re both staying in Angelo’s condo; so you’re sleeping together. If you’re doing that in separate beds, you need to have your head examined. He is majorly cute.”

“He is not!”

All four women turned to her at her protest and she knew she was caught, because Joshua most definitely was cute on any woman’s scale. Discretion apparently lay at the bottom of her now empty wine glass. Well, if she had put her foot in it, she might as well go all the way. With a shrug, she flicked her hair back over her shoulder.

“He’s not cute.” She pictured him standing by the ferry ramp, still watching her when she turned back to check. The afternoon sun had lit his dark hair like the finest walnut furniture.
