Chapter Sixteen
Mo twirled around in her leather chair, toying with the ends of her hair. She glanced at her computer calendar listening while Sara gave the details of her big plan. Sheâd secured a private condo for the next four days down in Georgia, on one of the barrier islands at an exclusive resort that promised the âtotal experienceâ she was looking for with her husbandâplus a world class golf course. âSounds great,â she said, as the words: Player Conference flashed from her calendar like a beacon of doom. âSo you have him all packed and everything? Cleared his calendar? When are you telling him?â
Saraâs voice was breathy, excited. It made Mo smile. âIâm going to his office this evening around six. Jason said he had a five oâclock but was done after that. Iâll have the car packed and tickets ready. Flight out is at ten.â
âWell played sister. Iâll pick the kids up â¦.â She stopped.
âWait, todayâs the day, isnât it?â
Mo gulped. âYes,â she croaked. âChrist, why am I so nervous?â She put a shaking had to her face.
Sara laughed. âSister, you are gonna rock that boyâs world. And I want every sordid detail, you hear me?â
âYeah, whatever. Itâs a bad idea. I canât do it.â
âThe hell you canât. If I have to Iâll guide him straight to yourâ¦.â
âSpare me, Sara.â
âBesides, it sounds like Senor Inez is gonna be a part of our little soccer world. A bit of a fixture in the new program.â
âYeah, he told me. We, um, talk pretty much every night now.â
âGod I hate phone sex. Thank goodness this is your chance to end all that crap.â
Mo felt herself blush, as Rafeâs last words the night before raced straight through her libido like a wildfire. âI will have you Maureen. And you wonât be sorry.â
âOkay, so good luck to you,â she said, determined to guide the conversation away from her own anticipated jumping of the soccer coachâs bones. Sheâd agreed to a date, after the conference. They were supposed to go to dinner, somewhere, she couldnât even remember where at this point, she was so overheated at the thought of what would come later.
âThanks,â Sara said. âI hopeâ¦I hope I can pull this off. Itâs, um gonna shock the shit out your brother.â There was a silence. âIâm nervous.â
âHe could stand some of that, trust me.â Mo said. âI love you, Sara. Make it happen. Donât let him go.â
âLove you too sister. Have fun. Arriba!â
Mo stared at the phone, still shocked sheâd told Sara about the date, about any of it. Sheâd not had close women friends in years, not since her years on base in Germany. And all the anger sheâd harbored at Saraâs behavior during Katieâs early years seemed like something sheâd never get past. Until she really got to know Sara, to feel her frustration, and acknowledged that life married to Jack could be a little aggravating.
She hit send on a couple of emails to some potential building clients, made a few notes for Monday and shut everything down.
