“Tell me what happened again?”

“He was going out, and then he saw Rebecca and I on your porch, and he came over to talk to us.”

“Yes.” I listen as I flick through the rack of jeans.

“He ended up staying with us all night drinking cocktails on your porch, and Antony came over, too, and we played cards.”

“So he didn’t go out at all?” I frown.

“Nope.” Chloe smiles hopefully.

“I wouldn’t be getting excited over him,” Rebecca says. “He’s a serious player. Why would you want to set yourself up for heartbreak with someone like him?”

“All bad men come good eventually.” Chloe smiles hopefully.

I roll my eyes and keep hunting for jeans. “What about these ones?” I hold a black pair up.

“I’ve got black already.”

“Why are we buying jeans? Why aren’t we buying crotchless panties and lingerie?” Chloe says.

“True.”

“You think?” Rebecca frowns. “Is that going too far?”

“He’s your husband, and you said you wanted the spark back.”

“I do.”

“Well, jeans are not going to do that.” Chloe rolls her eyes. “Dear lord, there is no such thing as too fucking far.” She stomps off toward the escalator to go up to the lingerie floor.

Rebecca links her arm through mine. “So how was last night, anyway?” she asks.

“My god, Rebecca.” I smile dreamily. “He is . . . so . . .” I pause as I search for the right word. “Amazing.”

“Be careful with him,” she warns. “This whole thing makes me nervous for you.”

“I am,” I lie. “He’s cooking me dinner tonight.”

She gives me a crooked smile. “I don’t want you to get hurt.”

“I won’t.”

Her phone beeps a text, and she pulls it out and reads it, lets out a deep exhale, and then stuffs her phone into her pocket. “Fuck’s sake.”

“What’s up?” I ask.

“John is working tonight after golf.”

“On a Sunday? Since when do orthopedic surgeons operate on a Sunday night?” I frown.

“That’s exactly what I was thinking.”

“You really think he’s cheating on you?”

She shrugs. “My gut tells me he is. There’s just too many anomalies in his stories.”

God, I can’t imagine being in her shoes.
