Kim said after I’d recounted my conversation with Josh. Since the gang wasn’t about to come running to the city today, we all teleconferenced in. I was curled up on my couch with Winchester on my lap and Hunt behind my head. Since I’d returned on schedule tonight, he’d decided to forgive me my transgressions. I truly wondered who called the shots around this place. It didn’t seem to be me. “No, it’s not,” I said. I may not be big on dating, but I certainly knew when I’d been asked on one. Derek from across the hall asked me out at least once a month. He was cute, too, which was why I made up an excuse each time. “He just suggested we go to a game together. That’s hanging out. Not dating.” “I beg to differ,” Ashley said. “First he tried to find out if you were single, then he asked you out after you clarified who the males were in your life.” I could practically see her sneering. Ash was such an instigator. “Why in the hell you had to tell him about your crazy cats is beyond me.”
