“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Cut the shit. I know you gave him your number last night.”

I grinned as I took a sip of my coffee.

“No. I haven’t heard from him,” I said.

“Just guard yourself, Brooke. He already broke your heart once.”

“I know. I was there,” I said.

“You enjoyed spending time with him last night, didn’t you?” she asked.

“I did. It was a crash-course in reminding me exactly why I enjoyed being around him.”

“I’ll admit, I can see what you saw in him. He seems like a good guy deep down, not to mention great with his kids. But, we’re here to get over bad boyfriends. Just keep that in mind.”

“Don’t worry. I haven’t forgotten,” I said.

Morgan took a seat next to me and, like clockwork, my phone began to ring. I looked at the unregistered number calling me, and Morgan threw me a haphazard grin. She watched me, waiting to see what decision I would make.

She rolled her eyes when I reached for my phone.

“Hello?” I asked.

“Brooke. It’s Kevin.”

“Good morning,” I said.

“Wasn’t sure you’d be up.”

“So you decided to call anyway? What if I had been sleeping?”

“You sleep like a log. You wouldn’t have picked up.”

“You don’t know that. I might be a light sleeper now.”

Morgan started laughing as I shot her a look.

“I called to see what you guys were up to today,” Kevin said.

Silence fell on the phone call as Morgan looked at me with a curious eye.

“Um—we’re going swimming,” I said.

“Where at?” Kevin asked.

“Just off the pier,” I said. “Why?”

“Well, maybe the kids and I will see you guys out there.”

“Maybe,” I said.

I hung up the phone and dodged all of Morgan’s questions. My mind was still spinning the sound of his voice around like a song. I peeled off my pajamas and slipped into my bathing suit, then slathered sunblock onto my skin.

“Ready?” she asked.

“Ready,” I said with a nod.
