McKayla shook her head. “I don’t think so. Everyone knew how much you loved your husband.”

Harper smiled. Even though her sister could be incredibly immature, she also had a big heart when it came to the people she loved. She should have known McKayla would defend her to the end, and the feeling was mutual.

“So, you don’t think I’m an evil person to be dating my husband’s best friend?”

McKayla brushed a strand of hair off Harper’s shoulder. “You don’t have an evil bone in your body, and anybody who knows you knows that.”

“Thanks, but I’m still not convinced that Blake’s family will be so accepting.”

“Maybe not at first, but they’ll get used to the idea. And if they don’t, that’s too bad.”

Harper cocked her head and studied her sister. “How can you sound so smart about this, yet…?”

“Have sex on the conference room table? Yeah. I know. Crazy, right?”

Harper laughed. “Just out of curiosity, how much did your boss see?”

McKayla giggled. “Actually, he mostly saw Jackson’s butt because I was lying down on the table…”

Harper held up her hands in surrender. “Ok, ok. I get the picture.”

“I’m going to miss that butt,” McKayla said wistfully. And then, for some reason, it struck a funny bone in them, and they broke out in raucous laughter.

After they’d calmed down, McKayla went into the kitchen and returned with two glasses of milk and a bag of Oreos. Handing one of the glasses to Harper, she said, “Remember when we used to love these as kids.”

“Still do,” Harper said, helping herself to a few cookies.

So, they sat on McKayla’s couch, munching on Oreos and reminiscing about their younger years, even though they weren’t really that old. Awhile later, as she was getting ready to leave, Harper said, “I’ll see what I can do to help you find another job.”

“You don’t have to. It’s my screwup, and I need to fix it.”

“I want to help,” Harper said.

“You already have.”

“Still, I’ll put out some feelers and see what I come up with.”

“Thanks. I’ll start looking too.”

“Just promise me one thing.”

“What?”

“That whatever your next job is, you’ll keep your clothes on!”

“Are you kidding? I’ve definitely learned my lesson!”

I hope so, Harper thought as she hugged her sister goodbye.

“Are you free?” Finn asked.

“You mean now?”

“Yeah.”

“No. I’m on my way to a photo shoot.” It had been a few days since she’d seen him because they’d both been booked up. Just hearing his voice was enough to ramp up her desire, even though she’d be seeing him in two days for Valentine’s Day.

“Damn. I keep missing you.”
