I'M STILL FLOATING on clouds when I meet Pax the next morning. We're supposed to be discussing the progress of my project. Instead, our meeting is heavy on the mimosas and light on the business projections.
"You're kidding! You kissed him?" Pax shrieks, almost throwing the full champagne glass all over her frilly white blouse.
I grab at her arm, giggling hard. "Sh! Someone's going to hear you." "Sorry. I just…" She blinks rapidly. Brown skin glistens in the sunlight
pouring through the glass windows. "I didn't think you were that impulsive."
"Not usually."
She wiggles her eyebrows, a smirk on her lips. "But yesterday you were…ehem… otherwise inclined?"
"I couldn't resist."
"Why did you decide to suddenly jump on your husband?"
My hands gesture wildly as I tell her what Jerrison did with the cell phone. I tear up all over again when I recount his heartfelt apology.
