“Holy crap,” Gigi said after taking one step inside my condo. “Did you have a party and not invite me?” She gazed around in confusion. “Uh, oh,” she said as she rushed toward the living room. She picked up the almost empty bag of ketchup chips and held them out. “Why didn’t you call me?” Her face and tone displayed all the concern she held for me.

“What?” Lexi walked in and gazed around, taking in the sights. Of which there were many.

Including Gigi standing in the middle of my living room with a bag of ketchup chips in her hand. “Oh, no.” Lexi’s head snapped to me. “Why didn’t you call us? You only eat ketchup chips when you’re sad or stressed out.”

Lexi’s face fell, and she darted right to me. Before I knew it, her arms wrapped around me tight. “I hate it when you’re sad, Jillybean. We were wondering why you weren’t at yoga.”

Oh, yeah.

Yoga.

I’d taken a bit of a hiatus from teaching early morning classes in the courtyard. But I actually meant to go to yoga this morning. I heard my alarm go off, but then Cash got up and turned off my phone. He came back to bed and covered me up. His lips touched my temple and he’d said, “Sleep a few minutes more, sweetness. You need it.”

And wasn’t that the dang truth?

After he filmed me last night, he’d made true to his promise to carry me back to bed. And it wasn’t like we got all that much sleeping in.

“Kay,” I’d answered him back.

And then he kissed me again. “I love you. Sleep tight.” He tucked the sides of my comforter in around me—I freaking loved it when he did that. And I felt so loved and cared for—and cozy—that I immediately fell back to sleep again.

The dreams I had were the loveliest ones yet. Cash and I were at his cabin in the mountains.

Nothing momentous happened.

We were just—being.

Being us.

Fishing in the river.

Reading on his porch.

Cooking in his kitchen.

And sitting by the fire at night.

Just being.

Just being us.

When I’d woken up to banging on my door—that familiar sadness and dread returned.

Just like it always did when I woke up from those fabulous dreams.

“I’m fine, really,” I tried to explain as I ran my hands through my hair. Only—I couldn’t get my hands through my hair.

Cash had been rather—exuberant—last night. And that meant I had out-of-control sex hair.

“Fuck me,” Trey stepped in behind Lexi—his wife. They got married in Vegas last fall. Trey was finally back on the men’s team after a brief—hiatus.

And that hiatus had partially been spent in rehab.

And partially spent in another city—after being sent down to the minors.

Anyway, he’d rehabbed himself, his marriage, and his career. And now he was finally back here with us.

Trey looked at me with concern in his eyes. “Jesus, why didn’t you call me? I would have come over right away.” The disappointment in his voice made my heart hurt. Trey was a great friend, and I didn’t want to worry him.
