“At least your grandpa likes me. He invited me to stay and eat.”
“Yeah.” I touched his upper arm in a friendly manner. “Just let one of us know what you want.” His arm felt rock solid and had me wondering what he did to work out.
“Unfortunately, I need to get back to work. I’ve spent longer taking a break than I planned.”
“Okay. Then I guess I’ll see you.” I stopped to think. “Whenever I see you.”
“Hopefully sooner rather than later.” The butterflies took flight again. “Oh, and Siena?”
“Yeah?”
He took a step toward me and leaned in close. “There’s plenty I want.”
I couldfeelhis words. His breath was minty fresh and warm.
“And I will definitely let you know.” He winked and strolled away.

“What’d tall,dark, and handsome want?” Jenny purred, waggling her brows.
“Huh?” I asked, grabbing a towel and wiping down absolutely nothing on the counter.
“Don’t play coy with me.” She snatched it out of my hands.
“He’s just flirting with me.”
“Mm-hmm.”
“What?” I squeaked.
“What?” she mocked.
“I have absolutely no interest in him,” I retorted, desperately trying to get the damn shriek out of my voice.
She scoffed. “Yeah, right!”
“Seriously! After my most recent debacle, I have sworn off men. But it’s still fun to flirt.”
“What do you meanyou’ve sworn off men? We all need a little somethin’ somethin’ from time to time,” she crooned.
“The last thing I need is another man fucking up my life. Again.”
“But he’s a reallyhotman!”
“Regardless of his hotness, I do not need to start something with a guy who’s just going to leave.”
“That’s the perfect way to get over an ex! Get under a new one. Or on top.” She waved her hands. “Whichever.” She winked. “Any kind of way withthatman would suffice.”
I rolled my eyes at her.
“What better way to get over Tim? You get revenge and a cathartic release. Not to mention a couple of hot romps in the hay with that delicious slice of man.” She dusted her hands together. “Problem solved!”
“He probably doesn’t even look at me that way. Bet he’s got a string of girls he’s already doing that with.”
“So?”She has a point. “So? You know, rubbers?” she asked again, waiting for a logical answer, to which I had none.
“I just need to focus on myself right now.”
