It had been four hours since the kiss. She needed to talk to someone about Bryce, and there was only one person she could call. Aleks was totally going to freak out. Jade picked up the phone and dialed. “Jade? What’s wrong?” Aleks asked. “Why do you think there’s something wrong?” Of course there is. “Well, you’re calling me in the middle of the day. Don’t you have to work?” “Yeah, I’m at work right now.” “So, what is it?” “Bryce kissed me.” Saying it aloud sent a guilty thrill through her. “I told you. Didn’t I tell you? I saw the way he looked at you at the picnic.” “I know. I totally didn’t believe you.” And how wrong she was. “But he has a girlfriend, and it’s not right for him to kiss me.” “Maybe he broke up with her.” Her belly fluttered. “I—I didn’t think about that. But then why would he be avoiding me? He left the contracts with Roz, won’t pick up his phone, didn’t show up to our meeting, and his emails since then have been so short they almost aren’t answers.
