“No wonder you went into PR, Lizard, you always did plan the best parties. I’m starting to think that’s all you do for a living.”

Lizzie raised her head from her tablet that contained her notes and numerous lists for the fundraiser and accepted the glass of lemonade that Alison brought to her at the picnic table. She stuck her pen behind her ear, and took a long swallow of the sweet, icy-cold drink. “Mmm, thanks, Al, that hits the spot.”

Finally registering what Alison had said as she’d approached, Lizzie answered, “This is definitely the up side to my business, that’s for sure. You know how I love to plan things.”

Alison chuckled. “Yeah, right down to the time line for having introductory sex with a man you haven’t seen in years.”

She took the ribbing good naturedly. “Anything worth doing, is worth planning out several times over.”

“Heaven forbid you ever do anything spontaneously.”

“I do lots of things spontaneously. See.” She flipped through her day planner and pointed to an imaginary entry. “I have spontaneity planned for next Friday from two ‘til five.”

They were at Alison’s, catching up because Lizzie hadn’t seen much of them in the two weeks since she’d been back from Ann Arbor. Katie joined them, bringing chips and salsa with her from the camp and plunking it down in front of the three of them. Lizzie only briefly looked at the snack, then resumed writing a note to herself about confirming the menu of the banquet with the caterer.

She grabbed her cell to make a call, but Katie placed her hand on hers and gently tugged the phone away. “Slow down. This can all wait a couple of hours. Talk to us, tell us what’s been happening.”

Katie was right, this stuff could wait. Or better yet, she could call Sybil later and have someone at the office handle it for her. She was getting better and better at delegating.

She caught Alison and Katie up on the time she’d spent at the farm. About Annie now riding daily on the exercise bike. She didn’t tell the last part of the story to Katie and Alison as they sat on the dock, dangling their feet in the water. The part about the look in Finn’s eyes as he’d thanked her. It’d be just like them to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Besides, there was no way Finn could love – or almost love – her. He had always seen her as a conquest, nothing more. She supposed that this fundraiser would cloud things for him. His pride was an animal all its own and he probably struggled with everything that was being done for him. For Annie, she corrected herself.

“So that’s how you’ve been spending your days - playing trainer and getting your manicure totally ruined by picking strawberries - but how about the nights?” Katie asked, her voice sing-songy at the end.

“Have you fucked Finn yet?” Alison asked, getting right to it.

Katie bristled, as she always did at blunt language.
