Since no one else could know that she’d even met Ben, her options for sharing the wonders of Ben were limited. And although Jackson mostly teased and made fun of her anytime she talked boy talk, she still needed to download the info to someone. Two things bothered her about the conversation with Jackson. #1. Jackson knew that the date was going to happen. Ben had run the plan past Jackson. And Jackson didn’t call her and give her a heads up. What a Peever. Then #2. Jackson was irritated at her. He told her that she was going to blow his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, all because of that teeny-tiny little lie. The more time Ben spent with Katrina, the greater the likelihood that Ben would discover that there was no relation between Kat and Jack. Other than lunacy, she reminded Jackson. “Not comforting, Kat,” he’d said over the phone. “You can’t keep coming to the set. I think he likes you and wants to hang with you. You know it’s going to slip out one of these times. But it can’t happen if you’re not around.” “Really, you think he likes me?”
