Sneak peek:

“Nancy, darling, you’ve been holding out on us,” Hilary’s sweet voice chimed as an arm looped through hers. “I thought you said you were single!” 

“Hilary, it’s been so long!” Lila replied with a smile. 

“Well, I didn’t think I would attend another meeting for a while... But Carolyn told me you came to the last one with your beautiful beau.” Hilary’s eyes sparkled as she looked pointedly at Lila. “Is he here? You have to introduce us!” 

Lila tensed slightly. Introducing Five as her ‘handsome fella’ had been a spur-of-the-moment decision, mostly to explain why they’d been whispering during the presentation. It also explained why they’d spent the rest of the evening close together and eventually left as a pair. She thought about how to go with this story as she scanned the room, spotting him by the bar, talking to Larry from the Orlando branch. 

Hilary, ever observant, caught her gaze instantly. 

“Is that him? The one with the mustache?” 

“That’s Jerome, yes,” Lila said, trying to sound casual. 

“My, Nancy, I must say, you have excellent taste. Hmm, that mustache is something,” Hilary said, clearly checking him out, her fan tapping her chin in thought.
