“Yes, he is, and yes I’ve slept with him.”
“Good for you. Okay, go tell your SEAL.”
“Good-bye Fiona.”
“Stay safe, Jenny.”
Jenny called Brax, and he said he’d be home in less than an hour. She needed something to take her mind off her conversation with Fiona so she went to the kitchen and opened her package. She mentally rubbed her hands together as she pulled out item after item. She couldn’t believe how much she’d let Jada and Leila talk her into spending, but as she rubbed her fingers along the lush fabrics and felt the smooth linings of the suit jacket, she grinned like a fool.
She was in the second bedroom when the doorbell rang. After hearing everything that Fiona had to say, she didn’t just run to the door, she approached it with caution.
Woof.
Woof.
Woof.
“Whoever’s behind the door is a friend, huh Faith?”
Jenny looked through the peephole, grinned, unlocked the door, and opened it wide.
“Oh my God, the clothes came,” Jada said as she looked Jenny up and down. She shut the door behind her and waved Jenny to the middle of the living room. “Turn around.”
Jenny did a circle.
“That dress is gorgeous on you. I just wish it was summer already.”
Jenny looked down at the yellow sundress. “So do I. I can’t believe I let you talk me into buying this. I don’t need it right now.”
“It was fifty percent off the clearance price. It fits you like a dream. Of course you had to get it. It offset the costs of the other clothes.”
Jenny shook her head. “Jada, that’s not how math works.”
“Sure, it is. When you look at it that way, most of my shoes only cost about forty dollars a pair.”
Jenny laughed at Jada. Just laughed at her. She’d seen her rebuilt shoe closet. She had designer shoes that she’d seen worn by models in Vogue magazine.
“You’re so full of shit.”
“Stick with me, and learn the ways of the world.” Jada grinned. “Now go try on something else before we're surrounded by male aggression.”
Jenny sobered. “It’s not going to be good.”
“I didn’t think so, otherwise Gideon wouldn’t have asked me to clear my calendar,” Jada said as she trailed Jenny into the bedroom.
Jenny looked over her shoulder. “He doesn’t even know what I’m going to say.”
“Those boys will have a hair trigger until Edgar is put away. That’s just the way they roll.”
“Do you want to know?” Jenny asked.
“Nah, tell us all together. I want to see clothes. Hustle up.”
Jenny was sitting in one of Brax’s fluffy chairs, Gideon and Jada were sitting across from her on the couch, and Brax was sitting beside her on the arm of the chair with his hand on her shoulder. She’d just told them about her conversation with Fiona.
“Let’s get her on the phone so I can talk to her,” Gideon said.
“What’s the point?” Jenny asked with a frown.
