“Wait," I called and the second he turned around, my face burned with embarrassment.That sounded ridiculous.“How will we get the passes?”I asked, trying to sound natural.

“Don't worry, Lexi,” he said and I could tell he was trying not to laugh.My face got even hotter, if that was possible.“I'll make sure you get them.”And then he turned and disappeared onto the casino floor.

I watched him go, wishing, with a great deal of absurdity, that he would turn around and come back.

“That's it.No more alcohol for me,” I mumbled.I hadn’t reacted to a man like that since, well, since ever.

Nicole didn’t hear me.“He's yummy,” she said, licking her lips.“Now come on, we're going to be late for the show.And what are you wearing?”

I looked down and said, “What's wrong with this?The sales girl said this was totally Vegas appropriate.”

“Seriously, Lexi?For such a hottie, you choose the strangest clothes.”Nicole stood and pulled me from the stool.“Don't worry, we'll go shopping tomorrow and get you sexed up.”

I turned to grab my purse and caught sight of my left hand.It still made my breath catch when I saw my naked finger where a ring had been for the last three years.

“Lex, come on.What are you looking at?”

I blinked hard."Nothing," I said and grabbed my purse.“Let's go.”
