His eyes lit up. “Say ciao from me too. Is her baby feeling better? What was his name? Kane?”

Jeez, he really did have a good memory. “Yes, it’s Kane.”

Roman says ciao and he wants to know if Kane is feeling better

Wow. That’s very considerate of him. He seems like a keeper. You should fuck him

Oh, God. Just in case Roman also had supersonic vision, I pulled the phone closer to my chest and cleared my throat. “Zali says Kane is fine. Thank you.”

“Ask her if?—”

“Excuse me.” I intended to chastise him, but it was impossible with the stupid grin on my face. “I’m trying to have a private conversation with my best friend.”

He held up his hand in a peace gesture. “Sorry. My bad.”

One look was enough to know he wasn’t sorry. Back to Azalia.

Stop. I told you he’s off limits

Righty ho. Tell me about Luca

As miles and miles crossed beneath us, I told Zali all about my crazy, wonderful morning with Luca.

Holy shit, babe. You hit the fucking jackpot. He sounds amazing

He is

Jealous as all hell here. Thanks for sharing, but I’ve gotta go. Luv ya

Love you too. Thanks for listening

I always listen to you babe. You know that. Next time, I want photos. No, better yet VIDEO!

Ha. You’re funny

I’m not joking. I want dick pics

I burst out laughing and although Roman looked my way, he remained silent. It was a bloody miracle.

Not going to happen

Yeah Yeah. A real girlfriend would do it

I was contemplating a reply, when my phone buzzed.

Only kidding. You’re the best girlfriend ever. Keep up the good work. Gotta go. Bye

Luv ya. Bye. XXXOOO

I shoved my phone into my bag and settled into my seat. For the first time in as long as I could remember, I felt content. Really, truly at ease with myself. My body purred with delicious post-orgasmic bliss, and my mind was filled with lovely images of my morning with Luca.

Roman had been right . . . sex was the cure. Well, technically, I didn’t even get that far. Yet I already felt like a changed woman.

I’d had some kind of awakening.

Hot damn! I felt good.
