Jack left to wash the dishes, so Emily called Ben to let him know she was still alive.

“Hold on,” he said.

Several seconds passed before Ben was back on the line with Jerry. Emily chuckled. She knew they weren’t twins, but they sure acted like it.

“How are you feeling, young lady?” Jerry asked.

“Well, I’m sitting upright and on the phone, so better.”

“She still sounds unwell to me,” Ben said. “She should take the day off tomorrow.”

“Agreed,” Jerry said.

Emily shook her head. “We have two client meetings tomorrow,” she reminded them.

“Young lady,” Ben said. “Our company benefits include a generous number of sick days for a reason. You’re sick. Take the day off. We’re perfectly capable of handling client meetings. We’re not doddering old fools. Yet.” They were both sharp as tacks, and they genuinely cared about the health and wellbeing of all their employees.

“Thank you. I can change my day off to tomorrow—”

“You’ll do no such thing. That was a scheduled day off, and you’ll take it.” Jerry’s tone indicated he’d brook no further argument from her.

She was so lucky she’d found this job. She must be crazy to consider leaving it. “Okay, you win.”

They both laughed. “We’d fully intended to, my dear,” Ben said.

“Do you need anything?” Jerry asked.

She looked at Jack as he walked into the room carrying another bottle of water for her and smiled. “No, I have everything I need.”

“Have you eaten? How about some takeout? I’ll call and have them deliver some soup,” Jerry persisted.

“No, I just had some, and I have plenty more.” She grinned at Jack. Sully never would’ve made her soup. Germaphobe that he was, at the first sign she was sick, he’d have crashed at a friend’s. That wasn’t really fair; she’d understood his paranoia over getting sick. His office was extremely competitive, and sick days were frowned upon.

“We’ll see you on Thursday. Feel better.”

Emily dropped her phone on the bed.

“Have you told your bosses about me?”

Emily furrowed her brow. “No.”

He looked hurt by that. “Have you told anyone about us?”

Shit. “Nicki knows.”

“Nicki doesn’t count.”

Emily laughed. “Don’t tell her that.” At Jack’s continued scowl, she added, “Vince knows, and I told Meg.”

“What about Eddie and your other friends? Do you even think of me as your boyfriend?” Jack stood and paced the room. “I tell everyone you’re my girlfriend. I’m proud of us.”

“You know that’s not it.”

“Then why haven’t you told them?”

“Told them what? That I’m dating a rock star? They’ll want details.” Emily sputtered. “I didn’t tell anyone about Sully the first month we dated, not even Nicki.”

“I thought she was your best friend.”

“She is, but I’m a private person. I wanted to be sure there was something to tell.”

“You don’t think we have something real? Something to tell?”

Emily sighed. She’d known he wouldn’t understand. “Jack, you said yourself that our relationship would come with difficulties. It hasn’t even been a month, and except for a quick visit on Mother’s Day, we haven’t seen each other for almost three weeks.”

Jack sat on the edge of the bed facing away from her.
