Trey's number?" He had to change the subject before he broke down and told her everything. It was too soon for her to know. The contract she'd signed was only in effect for a year. After that, she was able to leave.
She shook her head. "No, but I have Cindy's. Want me to text her?"
"That'd be great." He had Trey's number, but he didn't want to give that fact away. He couldn't help but wonder how his sweet wife would respond if she knew how their wedding had really come to be.
She grabbed her phone and typed a quick text. "Made it through the wedding night. Awesome. Can we borrow Trey's truck?" It was cryptic, but Cindy would understand. She and Cindy had been sharing a brain for twenty years.
Looking up at Bob, she said, "I texted her. It might take a minute for her to respond, because she's busy in the mornings."
By noon, they not only had Trey's truck, they had Cindy and Trey helping them. Trey and Bob were riding together, and Cissie and Cindy were following in Bob's Equinox.
"So? What do you think of your Bob?" Cindy asked as they drove toward Cissie's parents' house.
"Bob is special. I like him a lot, and he seems to almost worship me, which I like because he does it in a totally non-creepy way. He's hiding something, though. Maybe more than one something." She shook her head. She believed in full truth at all times. In fact, she often shared a great deal more truth than people wanted to know.
"How do you know?"
"Well, he said something about a former partner who died in front of him, and he was obviously sad about it. I asked him to tell me about her, but he wouldn't. He said he would someday." Cissie made a face. She hated waiting for someday.
"Oh, he doesn't realize that you hate secrets, does he? It's like Trey with my coffee mug when we first married. I thought I was going to have to hit him over the head with a baseball bat."
Cissie laughed. "He doesn't know much about me at all yet. We haven't been married for twenty-four hours yet."
"Sex was good?"Cindy asked.
Cissie rolled her eyes. "Sex was amazing. Do you really think I'd tolerate anything less?" Cindy had known her too long not to know she'd make sure it was good, no matter what it took.
Cindy chuckled. "I can just see you getting sex books from the library and showing him exactly how to do it right."
"If I needed to, I certainly would! Sex is too much a part of married life for me to put up with it being sub-par. So far so good, though. I like him."
"He seems very likable," Cindy responded.
"We've both taken the week off work, but we're not really going anywhere for a honeymoon. We need to get to know each other better, though."
"I wish Trey and I could have done that. I just couldn't see closing the B&B in the middle of summer, though. It's our busy season." Cindy shrugged. "We made it work."
"You did, and you had a psycho sister-in-law flying at you!"
"Penny was a real piece of work," Cindy said, shaking her head. "She's doing well in counseling according to Trey's dad."
"Have you met his parents yet?"
"No. They're supposed to fly up for Christmas, though. I hope I can handle them."
Cissie understood immediately what Cindy meant. Her mother-in-law had defended Penny to no end, and there was bound to be some friction there. "Let me know if you have problems. I'll borrow Bob's night stick and take them out!"
Cindy laughed. "I can just picture you going after my in-laws with a night stick. Sometimes you're scary, Cissie. I'm glad you're always on my side."
"The best part of that is you know I always will be." Cissie laughed at a memory. "Do you remember when we were seven, and we wanted to become blood sisters like some of the boys at school were doing, but we were afraid to cut ourselves?"
Cindy nodded. "So you came up with the idea of spitting on dirt and shaking hands that way. And you decided that blood sisters was
