Sunday.
    “Probably.  Christopher will do anything you ask him to.”  The man was completely smitten with Lexi, and Kenley was happy they’d rekindled their decade-old romance and gotten engaged.  Her best friend deserved nothing but happiness.  It was ironic that the man Lexi had hated the most had been the one she’d ended up with, but life was funny sometimes.  The way Kenley’s own life was going, she didn’t imagine herself ending up with anyone .  But she was thrilled for Lexi.
    Kenley groaned as the masseuse massaged her instep, and she heard Lexi’s soft laughter in the background.
    “I’m sure Mike would do anything you asked him to,” Lexi teased.
    “Oh God.  No more talk about Mike.”
    “I only said one thing!” Lexi protested.
    “One thing too many.”
    “You were pretty upset last night when you got back to the bonfire.  If the situation with Mike is bothering you that much, don’t you think it means something?”
    “Nope.  Doesn’t mean a damn thing.”
    Lexi snorted in disagreement, and Kenley closed her eyes again.
    “He’s over there now you know.”
    “Who is?” Kenley asked as she flipped over, letting the masseuse work on her temples and scalp.
    “Mike.”
    Kenley instantly froze.  “What?”
    “Relax,” the masseuse chastised.  Kenley squeezed her eyes shut, but her heart beat furiously in her chest.  Blood pounded through her veins.  She took a deep breath and tried to calm down, focusing on the soothing music in the background.  Couldn’t she even enjoy her Sunday without dealing with this drama?
    “He’s helping Christopher move furniture around.  They’re making room for when I move in.”
    “Perfect,” Kenley groaned.  “At least he’ll be gone by the time we got back.”
    Lexi laughed.  “Not likely.  They’re watching the game.  You’ll see him when we get back.  Unless you just drop me off without coming inside and run off like a scaredy-cat.”
    “Then that’s the plan,” Kenley agreed.
    “Oh come on,” Lexi protested.  “You can’t leave me alone with a bunch of men watching football.”
    “Not even when one of them is your fiancé?” Kenley commented dryly.
    “Besides, I’m pretty sure Mike has a thing for you.  That kiss at the pool looked pretty scorching hot.  And he didn’t stop looking at you once last night.”
    “Oh, give it a rest.  I’ll be going back to Northern Virginia soon anyway, and Mike will be ancient history.”
    “Famous last words.”
    Thirty minutes later the two women were showered, dressed, and relaxing with their feet in bubbling foot spas as they got prepped for their pedicures.  Kenley handed the dark polish she’d selected to the attendant, the dull color suiting her mood.  She’d been having a perfectly relaxing day until Mike’s name had been mentioned.  Ugh.  Why did he stress her out so much?  Why was she still even thinking about him?
    “So how’ve you been after everything?” Kenley asked.  “Any more nightmares?”
    The kidnapping a few weeks ago had left Lexi shaken.  She’d confided in Kenley that she’d had trouble sleeping, but she’d all but moved in with Christopher for the time being.  Kenley was relieved Lexi had him.  The Defense Department had granted Lexi a month of leave to deal with her trauma, so she hadn’t even returned to work yet.  Although Lexi was hoping to relocate to Virginia Beach, she’d be returning to Arlington and her job at the Pentagon soon, just as Kenley would be returning to her home office up there.  It would be surreal to go back and return to her old routine, but life moved on.
    “I have good days and bad days.  Mostly good—I mean thank God nothing happened when I was kidnapped.  I was scared, but it’s not like they actually hurt me.  I just still don’t like being alone.”
    “I understand.  You should stay with me when we go back to Arlington.”
    “Yeah?”
    “Absolutely.  We can be roomies for a
