spite of himself, he smiled. “Hello, Sarah.”

      Nine

      “You look like you’ve been rode hard and put up wet.”

      “Thanks, friend,” Maci replied drolly. “That’s not exactly what I needed to hear.”

      “Ah, even on your worst days, you’re still gorgeous. And I’m pea-green with envy.”

      “Stop it,” Maci admonished with a grin. “You’ve got a lot going for you, too.”

      Bobbi rolled her big blue eyes. “Sure, all one hundred and fifty pounds of flab.”

      “Once the baby arrives, that excess weight will come off.” Maci gave Bobbi a brief hug. “You’ll see. Trust me, I know from experience.”

      “You’re being kind, and I love you for it. But we both know better. I’m a short tub of lard, and I don’t see that changing at this stage in my life, baby or no baby.”

      “Speaking of baby,” Maci asked, “have you heard anything?”

      “Not a word, but then you should know that. After me, you’ll be the first to hear the good news.” Bobbi paused and gestured with her hand toward the plush sofa in the great room. “Hey, come on in and sit down. I didn’t mean to keep you in a holding pattern at the door.”

      Maci chuckled. “Hey, I’m not company, so don’t treat me like I am.”

      “Of course, you’re not company. Before we get started on the house, let’s have a cappuccino, shall we? I need to catch up on what’s going on with Seymour.”

      Maci felt her features tighten.

      “Sorry,” Bobbi said. “I didn’t mean to hit on a nerve.”

      “That’s the beauty of our friendship. I can be myself with you. I don’t have to pretend that life is a bowl of cherries when it’s not.”

      “I know this mess is taking its toll on you. I think—no, I know—you’ve lost weight, and you didn’t have any to lose.”

      “I’ll be fine.”

      Bobbi made a face.

      “I will. You know I’m a survivor. Just like you.”

      “You’re right about that. Still, I’m sick that it happened. In fact, I still can’t believe it. I thought doctors were untouchable.”

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
