picky.”
    “Let's find you someone while I'm here. Ooh! Look! There's a hottie coming in the door right now. Oh, and he's sitting at the bar. How about if I go chat with him and see if he's interested?”
    “In you or me?”
    “Well, whichever.”
    Jenna laughed. “Go for it.” Chris sauntered over to the very attractive guy he'd seen enter a second before. Catie appeared at Jenna's elbow and plunked into the seat Chris had occupied.
    “You two done gossiping?” Catie asked, grinning. She was feeling good about herself from all the attention the swim team boys had given her. Too bad she didn't realize that she never looked this happy after spending time with Tony.
    “For now. Chris is trying to score one of us a new man. Ha! He's wiggling his eyebrows. That means this one is gay.” Jenna turned to Catie. “So, what do you think of him?”
    “Honestly? He's insane. Awesome, but insane.”
    Jenna laughed. “That he is. He's like a caricature of his high school outward persona. I mean, I always knew the real him, but he put on an act with everyone else. Except my mom. He was always himself with her. She thinks he walks on water. Hey, you should come meet her. I have this tea at her house in a couple weeks. She said I could bring a friend. Frankly, I think she's afraid I don't have any.”
    Catie chuckled. “Well, besides me and Chris, do you?”
    Jenna smirked. “No. Not really.”
    “I'll go with you, if you promise that you'll meet Liam when he's next in town. He said he'd bring his roommate and I've been trying to get in Robbie's pants for over two years. Liam makes it impossible. He threatened to beat up Robbie if he looked at me sideways.”
    “What about Tony?”
    “Oh. Damn. Right. Well, you should meet Liam anyway. He's tame compared to Chris.”
    “I bet he is.”
    She wouldn't object to meeting Catie's brother. She'd seen enough pictures of him at Catie's place to know he was her type. Plus, he played hockey, which was a huge turn on when you were a big hockey fan. Chris laughed at her BU sweatshirt, but she wore it whenever the team played a home game. This was the first weekend she and Catie had both been around for a hockey game when they weren't going to both weekend games.
    Jenna laughed and smiled inwardly that Catie had forgotten Tony for a moment. Maybe there was hope she'd ditch him before they got too serious. She looked over at Chris, who was motioning to the guy at the bar and another hot guy who had shown up since Catie sat down at the table. The three of them wandered in the girls' direction.
    Chris introduced the two men, both tall, fit-looking, brunettes with blue eyes. “Jenna, this is Paul and his best friend, Eric. You can't have Paul, because he's mine. But Eric is free. Sorry, Catie. You're already taken. Right?”
    Catie sighed. “Yeah.” The guys all laughed and sat down.
    Eric squeezed in next to Jenna. He leaned close to her ear and said, “You don't have to pretend you're interested in me.”
    Jenna blushed. “I wouldn't be pretending.”
    A huge grin spread across his face and he stuck out his hand for her to shake. “In that case, I'm Eric Lyman. I'm studying music at Berklee. I play bass in a local band. What about you?”
    “Jenna Ackerman. I'm studying computer science at BU. I love music, but I can't sing or play to save my life.”
    “You should come see my band play next weekend. In fact, why don't you all come to the show?” he said, louder.
    “I'd love to come back for that, but I've got a huge fashion show for school,” Chris said, making a small pout.
    “I'll come,” Catie said. “You're in The Shredders, right?”
    Eric nodded. “You know us?”
    “Been to a couple of your shows over the years.”
    “Well, you should definitely come, then. I'll get you and Jenna backstage access if you want.”
    “Awesome!” Catie said.
    “Will you bring Tony?” Jenna asked. God, she hoped not.
    “No. He hates concerts except the symphony.”
    Jenna rolled
