Laurel stared at the intersection of her wrist and Kennedyâs slender fingers. How could someone so young be a doctor? Her excitement dampened as she remembered how much of her life had been wasted, out of her control.
She peeked up at Nolan then. He was absolutely right. Sheâd spent too long stuck in a platonic rut with Jace, simply because it was comfortable and safe. But was she ready to take a risk if it meant she might lose him entirely? And what the hell was she supposed to do about the fact that she suddenly found herself with a crush on not one but two of her roomies, who apparently had a thing for each other too?
Laurel groaned. Why couldnât life ever be simple?
âAre you okay?â Kennedy asked kindly, her pale blue eyes evaluating each and every clench of Laurelâs jaw.
âYes, thanks.â Laurel smiled and gently took her arm back. It was new and a little intimidating to have so many people concerned about her wellbeing. Sometimes it could feel invasive, though she knew they didnât mean it to be. Especially when, at that very moment, she was already doing so much better than sheâd ever been before in her lifetime.
Her sister-in-law edged nearer. âDo you want me to call James to come spend some time with you? Iâm not sure whatâs going on, but it seems like you could use someone in your corner.â
Devon glared at Nolan. She might have been the smallest of the women gathered around, but she was intense. She and Devra stood shoulder to shoulder. The contrast between their blond and black hair was dramatic, and yet each of them was gorgeous. They were made of the same stuffâdignity, power, and self-assuredness.
Laurel hoped one day she could be more like them. Wren too. Jordanâs wife, much taller than her friends, peeked over their shoulders, then scowled at Nolan too.
âWhy do you all assume I did something stupid?â He shrugged.
Laurel couldnât help itâshe laughed. âTo be fair, Jace started it.â
âSee.â Nolan winked at her and she thought, maybe for the first time in forever, that everything was going to be okay. This could be her future, if she adapted and allowed herself to grow. Nolan had been right about that.
âWell, that I believe.â Kennedy shook her head, setting her wavy platinum hair dancing around her. âHe has the look of a troublemaker. An awfully sexy one, mind you, but a heartbreaker for sure.â
âDonât let Marcus hear you talking like that.â Sola nudged her co-worker with her elbow and Kennedy groaned.
âDo not start acting like Nolan, please. One of him is enough on our team.â
Nolan scooched closer to Sola, probably to take the heat off himself. âYou know, she has a point. Why is it that Marcus always ends up covering your ass on missions, huh?â
âWe work well together.â Kennedy shrugged. âThat doesnât mean thereâs anything else going on. Iâve pretty much sworn off menâtheyâre more trouble than theyâre worth. I have a vibrator. I can take care of myself without the inevitable disappointment.
