By Sunday she felt like living again. Barbara called and asked her to come over. She was about to say yes, then hesitated.

“Barbara, is Brendan going to be there?”

Barbara hesitated, and Kaitlin knew that he was. “He and Joe will be watching the football game. We can ignore them and look through the bridal magazines out by the pool.”

She was about to say no, but then Barbara began to plead. “Kaitlin, please! Help me get things going!”

“All right. But I can’t stay late.”

Later on, she prided herself on that Sunday. Everything went very much as she planned.

Joe and Brendan did stay in the den, watching the football game. And she and Barbara stretched out by the pool and leafed through magazines, then looked through the menu for the hall that they had booked.

At six, the men and women joined one another at the kitchen counter for hot dogs and chili and beer.

At least, the others had beer. Kaitlin had a ginger ale. And she noticed that Brendan’s inky lashes covered his eyes when he watched her now and then with amusement, and that his mouth curved with humor. But he didn’t say anything. And neither did she.

They were polite to one another. Painfully polite. And she was very careful to keep a wide distance between them.

She had walked over, and she was determined to walk home. When she started off, she turned and looked back, certain that Brendan would be following her.

He wasn’t.

She started walking again, then started violently when a hand fell on her shoulder. She swung around. Brendan smiled.

“Sorry, I—”

“Brendan, I’ve got an early morning tomorrow.”

“So have I, Kaitlin. I just wanted to let you know that I booked Donna’s favorite country club for the Saturday after your grandmother’s wedding.”

“What?”

“I managed to get a booking for a mixed shower. The Saturday following your grandmother’s wedding. Is that all right? Can you manage it?”

“I—yes, I think so.”

“Good. We can go over details at dinner.”

“Fine.”

“I’ll let Donna know. It’s what she and Bill wanted, a party with all their friends. Male and female.”

She had always known that if and when Donna planned a wedding, she would want something with everyone together, rather than a shower with just the women. Kaitlin should have thought of it herself. She really couldn’t complain that Brendan had done so.

He was staring at her, waiting. “Was there something else?” she asked defensively.

He shook his head. “No, nothing. As long as we’re in agreement.”

“We are.”

“Good.” He turned and left her. She watched him, resenting the feeling of disappointment that rose within her. He could seem so close….

And then so damn distant. He could demand, then walk away so quickly.

She had an awful night. And she did have a very early morning.

She had a number of print ads to place, and she had to deal with the various stations to get the Seashell Sunblock commercial on the air. Her morning was busy enough to allow her to forget for long moments her mortification of Friday night.

But around lunchtime Janis came in and hopped up on her desk, swinging her feet.
