Her mom wouldn’t give up any details on the way home. All Lucy could get out of her was her mom’s opinion that Carter was a really nice guy.

When they reached the front stoop, he was sitting there waiting for them. He smiled at her like it was a normal run-in and not like he’d slept a whole night on her couch because she was a crazy person. “Hi. You probably don’t know this about me, but the whole reason I moved here last year was because I was getting away from a bad breakup. So I’ve got ideas for your plan.”

“I have no plan,” she said. What was going on? It felt like being on a moving carousel without anything to hold on to. She was keeping her feet, but barely.

“Not yet, but your mom says you plan like a boss, so I’m sure one will kick in. I’ll just give you something to start with.”

Her mom squeezed her arm. “I know you love a good plan, and Carter’s is great.”

Lucy rubbed her temples. “It’s okay. I can think of my own. It’ll just take me a day or two. And I don’t want you sticking around until then. I’m so thankful you came up here, but I want you to go back to work, Mom. You can go home tonight if you want to because I’m absolutely going to be fine. Here’s what I know so far: in a disaster, I’m not a pouter or a whiner. I’m going to be a doer. So I’m going to work tomorrow, and you should too.”

Her mom smiled. “Love the can-do attitude, daughter. Carter, you ready to take over on Friday?”

Lucy shook her head. “That’s another thing. Carter, you don’t have to babysit me. I can do this.”

“I’m not babysitting you. You’re more like a mentoring project.”

“You’re going to train me to be an expert in bad luck?”

He grinned. “No, even better. I seriously have the perfect strategy for getting over a gnarly breakup.”

She rolled her eyes. “You going to write me an app or something?”

His expression grew thoughtful. “Now that you mention it…”

“Mom, make him stop.”

“Sorry, honey. I approve his plan.”

“No one’s telling me what it is.”

Carter smiled. “You’ll find out when you get back from work tomorrow. In the meantime, enjoy your day with your mom.” He waved and headed up the stairs.

Lucy gave up. “Can you at least tell me the plan for the rest of the night?”

“Lots of chocolate, watch Just My Luck for the billionth time, and then more chocolate. Or maybe ice cream. No, both.”

“Make all Carter’s plans be about chocolate too,” Lucy said, already heading in to dig up her copy of the old Lindsay Lohan movie she’d loved since college. Her real life had no resemblance to anything Lohan, but she’d always seen a ton of parallels between herself and Ashley Albright, the movie’s main character who lives a charmed life until all her luck goes bad. She’d just never shared the full experience with Ashley until her jade necklace broke.
