As soon as lunchtime rolled around on Monday, Marie was in the kitchen at The Muffin Girl. “You never texted me back.” She wore a designer dress with cute pumps. She worked for a fashion magazine as an editor but she looked as good as all the models. “Which means you were too busy to text me back.”

I just pulled a batch of muffins out of the oven. “You caught me.”

She took a seat beside the counter and prepared herself for story time. “From the top.”

“Isn’t your lunch break only an hour?”

“So what? I’ll say I got mugged or something.”

I removed each muffin with a set of metal tongs. “Kyle and I had a great time. We went out to dinner and got some ice cream—”

“And had some great sex?” She snatched the muffin I just removed and peeled away the wrapper.

“I don’t like to kiss and tell but...yeah.”

“Yes!” She fist-pumped the air before she took a bite. “Kyle is a great guy.”

“He is.”

“I’m so glad you guys hit it off.”

“He’s exactly the same as he used to be, as am I.”

“You’re going to see him again?”

“I think so.”

She picked off pieces of the muffin and shoved them into her mouth. “He’s still amazing in bed?”

“Actually, he’s even a little better. Learned some new moves.”

“Lucky you.” She squeezed my forearm affectionately.

Marie was desperate for me to be happy, and now that I was, she was in the clouds. “Personally, I love Kyle. He’s handsome, sweet, smart—and he’s got a great body.”

“I won’t tell Axel you said that.”

She rolled her eyes. “He’s too sensitive about that kind of stuff. If I even glance at a guy, he sticks out his chest and acts like I’m about to upgrade.”

“I think it’s cute. He’s so into you—even though the honeymoon phase is over.”

She stared at the muffin in her fingers, a smile on her lips. “Yeah…you’re right.”

Once the tray was empty, I poured the new batter inside. “What did you guys do last night?”

“You know, boring married stuff.”

I knew she downplayed her happiness with Axel. She started doing that the moment Hawke viciously dumped me.

“So, you’re going to go out with Kyle again, right?”

“Yeah. We had a great time.”

“Perfect.” She finished the muffin then wiped her fingers clean. “Well, I should get back to work.”

“So, you get your free muffin then take off?”

“I mostly filled up on gossip, but yeah.” She blew me a kiss then walked out.

“You’re super in shape.” Kyle jogged beside me through the park.

“Thanks. It took me a long time to build up the endurance.”

“Fit chick—I like it.”

I kept up his pace as we jogged down the trail through the park. When I told him I was going for a jog, he immediately volunteered to join me. “I didn’t think you were the running type—just a bodybuilder.”

“No. Cardio is important too. I just don’t do as much of it.”

After we finished the sixth mile, we slowed to a brisk walk.

“When is your next marathon?”

“I don’t know. The last one was pretty brutal.
