Page 30 of Saving Her Heart
Riley: Summer or fall wedding?
Grace: Beach wedding for sure
Kate: Hudson wants to be invited to the bachelor party FYI
Charli: Can we focus on the fact that THEY'RE ON A BREAKFAST DATE?!
Brooke: Is sharing bacon considered foreplay? Asking for a friend.
Jax chokes on his coffee. "They're... enthusiastic."
"They're insane." I type a quick response.
Me: It's not a date. We're discussing the case.
Charli: Sure. "The case." Is that what we're calling it now?
Grace: Did he pay?
Mia: Is he in uniform?
Riley: ARE YOU SHARING BACON?
Kate: More importantly, are you playing Saturday? We need our pitcher.
Brooke: She'll be there. Walking might be difficult though .
Charli: BROOKE!
Brooke: What? Girl's been in a drought. Officer Tall Dark and Handsome is like rain in the desert.
Grace: More like a whole hurricane
Me: I hate all of you
Mia: But you love HIM
Riley: She didn't deny the bacon sharing!
Kate: Or the walking difficulty...
"Maybe I should confiscate your phone," Jax suggests, his ears red.
"Then they'd just show up here." As if on cue, I spot Charli's car pulling into the parking lot. "Too late. The cavalry has arrived."
But Charli doesn't come in guns blazing like I expect. She slides into the booth next to me, steals a piece of my bacon, I wasn't sharing with Jax, but best friend privileges apply, and gives him a look that could peel paint.
"You hurt her again, I'll make that goat situation look like a picnic. Clear?"
"Crystal," Jax says seriously.
"Good." She turns to me. "You okay? Heard about the flooding yesterday."
"I'm fine."
"She isn’t sleeping," Jax says, apparently choosing violence this morning.
Charli's eyes narrow. "Kendall?—"
