little fast?”
    “I don’t think so.”
    Haley finished her mocha, picked up the shopping bag with her things in it, and stood. “Thanks for bringing my stuff anyway.” She turned away and started trudging back down the street, not even waiting for Margot to reply. Haley felt happy for her friend, but she needed some time to herself right now. After all, two good relationships had ended the night before. If she could call them relationships. But she’d felt so tied to those men, even if she didn’t go to the movies with them or clean the kitchen together. Losing two men… Wasn’t that worse than just one? Shouldn’t she feel twice as upset as someone who only loved one person?
    Love?
    That’s not what it was, Haley told herself. Of course, both men possessed many things to love about them, but she didn’t really love them , did she?
    If not, then why the sting and the heavy feeling behind her breastbone?

Chapter Two
     
    Haley awoke Friday morning to the sound of her cell phone ringing. She groaned. Neither Jason nor Gregory had called her since Tuesday or Wednesday, but she immediately worried that one at least had reignited the onslaught. She reached over, took her phone off the bedside table, and read the screen. Cyn’s number. She flipped the phone open.
    “Hey, Cynthia.” Haley had met Cyn through Gregory, and they’d grown to be friends.
    “We’re picking you up at four.”
    “What?”
    “To go to Mossy Oaks.”
    Haley shook her head, then said, “No, I couldn’t possibly.” She could keep herself nicely wrapped up in her work this weekend. No distractions. Besides, she’d never gone there without Gregory. She wouldn’t know what to do to fill the time.
    “It’s okay. I know what happened, and Todd told me Gregory’s out of town on business this weekend, so he won’t be coming. I just want you to come along to get out of the house. Maybe we can find some time for girl talk.” She paused. “I already called Hank Guidry, and he can’t wait to see you.”
    Haley loved Mr. Guidry; she didn’t want to disappoint the owner of the plantation, and Haley knew Cyn had some threesome experience. Maybe she could get advice on how to proceed with her own problem. “Oh, okay. That would be great, then.”
    “Good. Now don’t be late. You know how Todd is.”
    She knew exactly how Todd was, and the last thing she wanted to do was start the trip with him ticked off. “Okay.” Haley clicked the phone shut and dropped it on the bed. She sighed. She could definitely use a weekend away, but she didn’t know if she wanted to spend two hours in the car with Todd. She liked Cyn fine, but he had a habit of correcting everybody, and he’d always start in with “Ac…tually,” with a long pause and then rushing down the rest of the words as he got on a roll, rattling off statistics or facts. Got to pack the MP3 player . Haley sat up and climbed out of bed. She’d have plenty of work to do at the studio before she could leave town.
    She wrapped her robe around her body and headed toward the kitchen. Her new roommate, Gel, was standing at the stove frying an egg.
    “Morning,” she said.
    He turned and offered her a big smile and a wave of his spatula. “How’s my girl this morning?”
    Not yet ready to engage in conversation, she smiled and shuffled on toward the bathroom. How am I anyway ? She didn’t know. She heard Gel humming as she turned on the shower. She was glad she had a place to offer him when his old landlord had raised the rent last week. He did lean toward being a melodramatic queen at times, but he was always there for her too.
    Haley stepped into the tub and let the cold water shock her into full wakefulness. Then she leaned over and turned on a little hot water. She appreciated the heat more after the jolt of cold.
    She looked down the length of her body. She certainly could tell that it had been nearly a week since she’d had a partner. Only last Saturday, she’d strutted proudly
