Chapter 10

The following night Amber soaked in the bubble bath and sipped her second glass of wine after yet another full day of work. Her feet were sore today and her back still ached a little from the cold she’d just barely managed to avoid.

Rolling her head back, she closed her eyes for just a moment.

Tom had texted her a few times, but she’d avoided reading them as long as she could. Still, she had kept from messaging him back. Instead, she’d had Aiden tell him that she needed some “alone” time. Which she did really, really bad. Actually, she wasn’t in the mood anymore to be completely alone; what she really needed was some friend and sister time.

Reaching down, she picked up her phone and started texting. Almost an hour later, she stepped out of the bathroom, completely dressed. Picking up her phone, she called down to Gary and told him she was expecting company.

She spent a few minutes gathering up some wine, glasses, and pulling out anything she had in the cupboards that could be considered finger food. Flipping on the television, she was just pouring a glass of wine when the buzzer went off. At the security camera, she smiled at Kristen and Amy’s faces on the screen, then buzzed them up. Soon after, her sister called up as well.

When she opened the door for them, she was greeted with a bottle of her favorite wine and friendship. The kind she never had to question or worry.

“Thank you for coming tonight.” She hugged each one. “I sooo need this.” She dragged out her words as she rubbed her hands over Kristen’s large belly and her soon-to-be niece or nephew. “Come in, sit.” She took Kristen’s arm and led her to the sofa as she looked around.

“This place is amazing”—she said, then started in with— “honest. I don’t need to”—she stopped talking when Amber lightly pushed her back into the soft cushions.

Amber smiled when she saw that Kristen was enjoying the soft cushions of her sofa as she continued to look around.

“Here, put up your feet.” She took her sister-in-law’s feet, propped them up, and removed her shoes. Then turned to her sister. “Did you bring it?”

Ashley smiled and patted a large bag, then set it down in front of Kristen.

“What’s all this?” Kristen asked when Ashley started taking out small bottles of brightly colored nail polish.

“This, my dear sister-in-law, is a foot intervention. We know your baby shower is this weekend, but this is just for you. Not the baby,” Ashley said, smiling.

“A ... what?” Kristen tried to sit up, but her large belly stopped her.

“We figured that it was probably too long since you’d last seen your feet,” Amy said, sitting at the foot of her best friend. “So, we decided that a foot intervention was in order.”

“You know, pedicure, foot massage, all the works.” Ashley took out a couple of tubes of stuff from her large bag. “I even brought stuff for facials.”

“Oooh, I love this face mask.
