I know you. Ever since you met Taylor, you’ve had an X-rated mind.”
Gina smiled and pushed her chin-length blond hair out of her face. “Maybe you’re the one with the X-rated mind, Krista.”
Will had said something similar last night. For heaven’s sakes, was it really that obvious?
Even now she was a bit surprised by the ease with which she and Will had talked last night. After eight years, she would have thought they’d be a little uncomfortable with each other. She had no intention of allowing their relationship to go beyond patient-therapist-friend, but she had enjoyed his company.
He’d looked tired when he’d left. Why wouldn’t he? He’d driven across two states, settled into a new apartment and had begun a new therapy program. He’d always had incredible stamina, but his fatigue, along with the fact that he’d confided in her about what didn’t happen between him and his former therapist, made her feelings toward him shift, swell, soften. She’d gone to bed humming last night, and she woke up the same way. For the first time in years, she hadn’t needed a cup of coffee to clear her mind and begin a new day.
“Krista, I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many sparks in your eyes,” Gina declared.
“These are sparks of battle,” she said. “I’m a little surprised by them myself.”
“This guy must really be sexy to have you in this good a mood first thing in the morning.”
“For heaven’s sakes, Gina. Our children are in the next room.” Krista glanced around. Finding the coast clear, she smiled grudgingly and said, “As a matter of fact, he is. But I’m not going to give in to the attraction. Forewarned is forearmed.”
“I don’t know,” Gina declared. “Maybe you should give another man a chance.”
Krista didn’t mind Gina’s candor. These conversations were as natural to them as the friendship they’d formed five years ago. Caring people made the world go round. They also made life worth living. Besides, Krista enjoyed teasing Gina just as much.
The voice of a singing dinosaur carried to their ears. Evidently, Tommy had turned the television on for the girls.
