And now she was paying for that.

Carolyn: Well, she sucks. When is Amy going to text back?

Sam: She’s probably actually working, unlike the rest of us.

That got a few laughing emojis in reaction from the others, and that was it, as if they were waiting for her to come back and catch up.

Amy: Today is going okay. I just told our office gossip that Jeremy cheated on me, and the wedding was called off. Right now, I’m at the doctor’s office to get tested for STDs.

Immediately, her phone started buzzing as the replies came in a wave.

Sam: Oh my God, I didn’t even think about that!

Carolyn: Aren’t we supposed to get tested to be a member at the club?

Marissa: Oh, shit

Morgan: We are supposed to get tested, but who knows what Jeremy has done if he was willing to cheat on Amy with Noelle.

Amy made a face. She really hoped Noelle was it, or she was an even bigger fool than she’d thought.

Sam: Fingers crossed that nothing comes back.

Morgan: Let us know if you need anything, Amy.

Carolyn: If he’s given you anything, I’m going to kill him.

Marissa: Don’t say that in a text!

Carolyn: No body, no crime.

A snort escaped from Amy, and she immediately put her hand up to cover her mouth. Laughing in the doctor’s waiting room just seemed disruptive, and sure enough, when she looked up the older woman sitting across from her was giving her a disapproving look.

Amy ducked her head back down, refocusing on her phone.

Amy: I’ll hope for no issues, thanks.

Morgan: We should get together sometime this week. Friday? Saturday?

Marissa: I’m out of town.

Carolyn: She’s talking about the rest of us, duh.

Marissa: Just wanted to make sure my absence is appropriately mourned.

Sam: I could do either night.

Carolyn: I can’t do either. Harvey has work functions both nights this weekend that I have to go to. But you should still get together, so Amy isn’t just stuck hanging around with two men.

Amy: They’ve been really great, actually.

Sam: Carolyn’s right, though. It’s not the same as girl time.

It wasn’t. Watching superhero movies with them was fun as long as she didn’t think too hard about the very awkward moment between her and Zach on Saturday night. For one wild second, she’d actually thought he was going to kiss her.

Thank goodness she’d been wrong. She wouldn’t want to hurt Kincaid that way.

But… well, if anything was going to fuel her Trinity Masters-inspired fantasies, that had added another log to the fire. Those books and fantasies were probably why she was thinking such ridiculous things. Zach had probably been trying to figure out how to ask her to get out of his personal space without being mean about it.
