    “You don’t know what you’re talking about,” she said. When she looked over at him, he started to laugh.
    “Oh, I’m sure I do. I’m thinking you were thinking about the same guy that you had me say very rude things too.”
    “Shut up, Rob,” Fallon said once more before letting out a frustrated breath.
    If Lucas affected her this much and she hadn’t even seen him, what was going to happen when she did?
    *******************************************
    “It was so embarrassing Audrey, so stinking embarrassing.”
    Audrey giggled before picking up her glass of wine and bringing it to her lips. They sat around their kitchen table, drinking a celebratory drink while Aiden was upstairs sleeping. Fallon was explaining her day and what had happened after the dreaded phone call from Lucas.
    “I say when you see him again that you attack him! Give him a kiss he’ll remember for the rest of his life!”
    Fallon giggled at that. “Oh please, I’ll probably just stand there, like a fish out of water, my mouth opening and closing!”
    Fallon demonstrated how she would look and that had them both laughing.
    “I don’t see why you are letting him affect you? I mean he is hot and all, but apparently he’s something if he’s got you, Ms. Calm, Cool, Collected, on edge,” Audrey said. Fallon smiled as butterflies filled her stomach.
    “Oh Audrey, you just don’t understand,” Fallon expressed, “I lived when I was with him.”
    “Huh?” Audrey asked confused, “You’re not livin’ now?”
    Fallon mouth picked up at one side as she thought back to all the amazing times she and Lucas had. “I am, but in a different way. Lucas could make me laugh just the way Aiden does now. He could get me in a hockey goal and shoot pucks at me and I would know I’m safe. We went on amazing trips, ate amazing food, sat on the beach, and just lived together. He loved me, and Lord, did I love him.”
    When Audrey didn’t say anything after a few minutes, Fallon looked over at her. Audrey was looking at her with wide eyes and a confused look on her face. “Fallon, I’ve never seen you talk about a man so passionately. Me, Aiden or your job, you always talk like that, but never a man.”
    “’Cause there hasn’t been anyone since him,” Fallon answered sadly.
    “’Cause you haven’t tried to be with anyone else,” Audrey pointed out. “A lot of guys want a piece of your crazy hot ass.”
    Fallon laughed. “I’m not crazy hot, and plus after being with Lucas, no one could ever compare. That’s probably why I haven’t been with anyone. I’m still so raw.”
    Audrey shook her head. “Fallon, it’s been seven years, and I have never heard of him. Now, not only do I know who Aiden’s daddy is, but I know that this dude was your dude. What the hell?”
    Fallon slowly shrugged her shoulders as she bit at the skin around her index finger. “Maybe I’m over him,” she then laughed, “Or maybe I know the truth is coming out, so I gotta tell someone!”
    Audrey laughed. “I don’t think you’re over him, sis. If you were, he wouldn’t affect you the way he does.”
    “Maybe you are right ‘cause Lord, I’m so scared about seeing him again.”
    “You should be, he is sexy as all get out,” Audrey gushed as Fallon smiled.
    “You have no clue on the amount of sexiness there is when that man takes his clothes off,” Fallon said breathlessly as she waved her hand in her face. It was suddenly very hot in Fallon’s small kitchen.
    Audrey giggled as she placed her face in her hands, looking up at Fallon. “Oooh, do tell!”
    Fallon giggled along as she just shook his head. “Oh Audrey, my favorite thing about him other than his eyes, was his chest. It was a little hairy but not much, his abs was something straight out of a magazine, ripped beyond all belief. He had this sexy ass tattoo along his pecks that said, ‘Never look back, never think twice’ and…”
    Audrey cut her off
