Sabrina went out the door and stopped her friends on the sidewalk outside. “You guys, look.”
They peered through the large picture window as Brandy handed Joe her business card.
“Omigod,” Hailey whispered. “What just happened?”
“Bah,” Mad said. “He’s probably going to surprise me with a wedding present. Your mom’s probably going to pick out a purse or something for him.”
“I think he asked her out,” Sabrina said.
Joe turned, heading their way, a big smile on his face.
They all quickly turned from the window, acting casual, though none of them could think of a single thing to say.
Joe stepped outside, whistling, turned and walked down the sidewalk away from them. He hadn’t even noticed them gawking.
“What just happened!” Hailey exclaimed, staring at Joe’s retreating back.
“Maybe we’ll end up sisters,” Mad said, a hint of longing in her voice.
Sabrina suppressed a laugh. That would make Josh—Hailey’s nemesis—her brother. Ever since their paid-wedding-date fiasco, Hailey had been demanding her money back while Josh kept telling her to go back to his place and get it. Which, of course, they all knew was code for some private time. Their sexual chemistry was off the charts. So was their hostility. Brother and sister! Hysterical!
“Omigod!” Hailey exclaimed at the top of her lungs, staring at her mom. Rose’s head popped out of Hailey’s dog purse, ears perked for trouble.
Sabrina gently nudged Hailey away from the window and down the sidewalk. Whatever was about to happen between Joe and Brandy, they didn’t need Hailey for it.
