think you’re overstepping, Fanny dear. Why don’t you run along and go kill a few more brain cells with more hairspray and Botox.”
    That gets the toothpicks all aflutter, and I tense when she smiles and gives Molly a sneering once over.
    “You’d do well to stay in your corner where you belong and leave us alone, Molly. Or have you forgotten that slumber party we had three years ago. If I remember you’ve been carrying a torch for a certain Stone. Wouldn’t want that getting out.”
    Molly tenses, and I almost feel the embarrassment radiating from her before Fanny looks back down at me and smirks.
    “So who knocked you up and gave you a ticket to the high life? I can’t imagine one of the Stones would find a plump hen like you attractive.”
    I’m literally flapping my mouth when I feel him come up behind me and lay a hand over my shoulder. God, wasn’t he just across the room talking to anorexic Annie?
    And God, does he always have to be around when something embarrassing happens.
    “Not all men like fucking a bag of rattling bones, Fanny dear. Why don’t you take your friends and run along now. You’ve lost nothing here.”
    Oh ssnnaaap!
    Did he, Mr. Sauerkraut just defend me to his little society misses?
    I’d better go check and make sure the freaking sky isn’t falling.
    But first I need to surreptitiously dry my eyes before he sees how silly I am. I’m mostly teary because I’m mortified, but if asked, it’s the hormones—and I’m sticking with my story.
    “Have you eaten yet?”
    His voice is clipped, and when I look up, I see the same pinched expression that I’ve become so familiar with.
    “Uh not yet. Molly and I are waiting for the others to clear off.”
    “Yes. The last time I tried to fill a plate with one of those in the vicinity, my mother was so embarrassed she made me eat carrot sticks for a full week. Daddy had to sneak me food after she went to bed, but I can’t stomach another carrot for at least a decade. Carrot tops should not eat carrots.”
    We giggle, and I see Cameron’s mouth curl indulgently.
    “I’ll bring you each a plate. Oh, and Kent is here Molly. He’s been looking for you.”
    She blushes and blows out a breath when he sidles off to the buffet, and I raise a brow.
    “Oh shush, don’t look at me so. He’s just…”
    “Your secret looovah?”
    Her face goes even redder, and I swear I didn’t think it was possible for a redhead to look that good with a red face and neck.
    “So. You and Kent, huh?”
    “No. Kent Stone is just looking to apologize for a comment he made when he wasn’t aware that I was within hearing distance.” She sniffs, keeping her eyes down.
    “Nasty, huh?”
    I’m currently watching the man make his way through the crowd, his blonde head turning this way and that before he spots us and starts making a beeline our way.
    “Quite. Too be fair he was a little worse for the wear on whiskey, and his brother was teasing him unmercifully. It’s my own bloody fault. I had the biggest crush on him, and he likely wouldn’t have needed to say anything if I hadn’t been staring at him like a moon-eyed ninny.”
    She’s still looking down and hasn’t seen Kent, so she almost squeals when a pair of black leather shoes comes into her line of sight and she looks up to see Kent standing over her.
    “Molly love. Can we talk?”
    “No. Go away,” she hisses, glancing around nervously. “You know what they’ll do to me if they see you talking to me.”
    I see Fanny and the motley crew of airheads glaring our way, and I almost pity poor Molly until Kent leans down, grabs the back of her neck and plants a hot, wet, tongue kiss on her open mouth.
    Oooh my.
    What I wouldn’t give for one of those.
    “That should keep them busy enough,” he mutters before dragging her up and hustling her out of the room.
    “About time that idiot did something about that. I thought he’d die for pining after the poor girl.”
    I snort when Cameron sits down
