Violet looked at her and whistled. “Wow. You’ve got a skirt on. And a short one.”
She wiggled her shoulders a little. “I never get to dress up and I like it. Daisy talked me into it.”
Violet turned and found Daisy with a dress on too.
“Remember Luke from Lily and Zane’s wedding?” Jasmine asked.
The smile dropped from her face, her heart started to race, her hands got sweaty and there might have been some heat between her legs at the same time. “Yeah. Why?”
“He’s here. He’s moving into Zane’s cottage on Monday.”
“What?” she asked. Did her voice just squeak? Then she seemed to catch herself. “I mean, since when?”
“Wow,” Violet said, smirking. “That reaction was a little excessive. Did you think he was hot in his tux?”
She snorted. No use lying since she’d been heard making that comment. “Yeah. So did you and everyone else.”
“It’s something about those men in the service,” Violet said.
“Are you talking about me?” Trace said, coming to stand next to Violet. “You know, men in the service and all. You haven’t even seen me in uniform.”
Violet laughed. “Do you still have them?”
“I do,” Trace said. “It’s not my life now, but it is still part of me. I don’t know if we’ve formally met, have we?”
“I’m Heather and you’re the hot guy that Violet is blowing the singles table off for.”
“Your coworkers think I’m hot,” Trace said, bumping his hip into Violet’s. Heather wished she could find a guy like this, but the few dates she’d been on since Lily’s wedding, she’d found those men didn’t hold a candle to Luke.
And she had to stop using him as a measuring stick because he’d been gone from her life.
Or so she thought, but now they said he was back in Mystic.
“You should only care what I think,” Violet said. “And we are sitting here. But I’ll take you to the singles table to meet some of the rest of them and then we’ll come back and mingle with the mature ones.”
“Who says I want to be with the mature people?” Trace asked.
“Don’t flirt with my coworkers,” Violet said. She took the wine out of his hand. “You’re only allowed to flirt with me.”
“I’ll be flirting with you all night,” Trace said.
Heather walked away forcing a grin when someone waved at her. There was jealousy there for sure for a coworker, but more so she had to figure out why Luke was being talked about and how come he was moving to Mystic and not still in the service.
She was bound to run into him and what would she say? How would she act?
How wouldheact?
Would he think she would just pick up where they left off and be around anytime he wanted a quick roll in the sheets?
Or maybe he was with someone now. He could be married and she’d have to get any sexy thoughts of him out of her head if that was the case.
Didn’t matter. She had time to prepare for when she saw him again. She was just going to enjoy tonight.
Until she turned and saw her one and only one-night stand leaning against the doorframe of the back room and his eyes were locked right on hers tighter than if a missile was getting ready to launch and she was the target.
She gulped and did the only thing she could think of.
She ran to the bathroom.
