“Thanks.” I sighed after I had a sip. “Mmm, that tastes good. Did you go out?”
Jenny nodded. Her face was clean, scrubbed free of makeup, and her hair fell in loose waves over her shoulders. She was wearing sweats, and although she had dark circles under her eyes, courtesy of our debaucherous twenty-four hours, she looked gorgeous. “I was too hungover to try the fancy coffee maker,” she admitted. “So I ran to Dunkin’. I hope it’s okay.”
“It’s great. I appreciate it.” I took another sip of coffee and sat up straight. My head was fuckingkillingme. “I feel like shit.”
“Me too.” But she smiled. “Hey, we just got a message from James and Audrey. They said something about a trip. Do you know anything about that?”
“I do.” I grinned at her sheepishly. “It was actually my idea. I thought we could pull a little Todd-and-Evie action and make their wedding a whole thing.”
Jenny appeared thoughtful. “You wanted to do something fun with me?”
I shrugged. “I did, but…”
“But then you got mad,” she finished for me.
“Right.” I sighed. “Then I got mad. Andthenwe got drunk.”
She nodded. “Drunk is better than mad, although my hangover is making me question that.”
“Me too.”
“So…” Jenny hesitated. “Do youwantto go on a trip with me? And James and Audrey?”
She sounded guarded but, underneath that, hopeful.
I took her hand. “I do,” I admitted. “Is that okay?” I wasn’t about to admit it to Jenny, but not only was the trip my idea, but I’d also cleared my entire schedule for the next few weeks.
“S’Okay, Coley,” she said, her voice gravelly. “I’d like to go, too.”
“Yeah?”
She smiled at me. “Yeah.”
I grabbed my phone and pulled up Audrey’s message to both of us.
We have a private flight Friday at 8am from Logan.
Can you guys make it?
We’re booked for four nights.
“Do you have any idea where we’re going?” I asked Jenny.
“No, Audrey didn’t say. She just said to pack jeans. And boots. And a jacket.” She shrugged. “So I’m guessing this isn’t a tropical vacation.”
I scrubbed a hand across my face. “I’ll call James later and ask him for the details. Are you ready to go away for a few days?”
Jenny nodded. “I’m happy to get out of town.”
“Then I’m happy to get out of town, too. Listen, about all of this…” I patted the bed beside me, and she came closer. I inhaled her coconut-y scent. “Are you feeling okay?”
“I’m sore, but I’m okay.”
“Yeah?”
She nodded. “Yeah.”
“Is there anything I can do for you?” I asked.
