Janie smiled dreamily. “It’s okay to be happy with a sexy, cocky guy who’s a good kisser.”

Kelsey sighed, thinking about the awesome night she had. “Enough about me. I want to hear about mystery guy. You were out with him, right?”

It was Janie’s turn to wear a dreamy look. “Yes. We went to Dizzy’s Pub. He wanted to take me out to a fancy dinner, but I wanted something low key. I think I might like him. He’s sweet and thoughtful. He opens doors and holds my hand.”

“What’s this guy’s name?”

Janie stood and glanced at herself in the mirror. “Graham. He’s a stockbroker who splits his time between Philly and New York.”

“When do I get to meet him?”

Janie shrugged one shoulder. “Soon. It’s so new and after the disaster of my last relationship, I want to be cautious.”

“I get it. Just be careful.”

Janie turned to her friend. “I will. I might make him dinner tonight so…”

Kelsey grinned widely. “I can find something to do tonight if you would like some privacy.”

“I’ll let you know.” Janie fluffed her hair. “Now, you have to get ready for your breakfast date.”

“Wow, you just made me nervous by calling it a date.”

Janie laughed. “Is he coming here?”

“No. I’m picking him up.” Kelsey told her about how Adrian was going to stay above the animal hospital and how he had left his car on campus.

“I need to get moving or we won’t have much time to eat.”

“Are you going to the diner?”

“Of course. I love your breakfast food.” Kelsey grabbed her purse and headed for the door to their apartment. She bounced down the steps and out into the parking lot. She couldn’t wait to see Adrian.

Kelsey shivered, thinking about his lips pressed against hers.

“Whoa. Kelsey. Where are you going?”

Kelsey glanced up into Greg’s eyes. “What are you doing here?”

“I know you don’t have any classes until later so I figured we could hang out. You seem to be so busy in the evenings.”

“I have plans.” She side-stepped him, but he moved into her path again. “Greg, really. I’m flattered about your offer, but I’m going to be late.”

Greg turned to face her Audi that was backed into the spot. “Doesn’t look like you’re going anywhere.”

Kelsey followed his gaze to her car. All four of her tires were flat. “Are you kidding me?” she yelled out. She knelt down next to her car to check her tires. They were all flat and sitting on their rims. “Great. What am I going to do now?”

“You either have rotten luck or there’s something wrong with your tires. You might need to get new ones.”

Kelsey wiped a hand down her face. “I’ll have to call for a tow.” She wanted to kick the car, but it wasn’t the vehicle’s fault. “Oh crap! Adrian. I’m supposed to pick him up.”

Greg’s eyes narrowed for a second before smoothing out. “Why are you picking Adrian up? Doesn’t he have a car?”

Kelsey didn’t like his tone and figured that Greg was probably jealous. Well, he would just have to get over it. “It’s not really your concern.”

Greg gentled his expression. “I’m not trying to be nosy or get into your business. I want to help.”

Kelsey sighed. Maybe she was overreacting. “He got a ride to the shelter last night, so he doesn’t have his car with him.”
