seems as though you were spotted in an intimate pose, and everyone thinks you’re Jason Henderson’s bimbo of the week.” My mother said with an edge about her that indicated she was not happy about the story, nor was she amused. Cynde also huffed something that sounded more like disgust than anything.
    “I can promise you, that is not the case mama. We just met last night and spoke for all of forty five minutes, maybe. I came home alone, as always, unless of course if you count Matt who poured me into bed.” Mama tsked at me regarding my pouring comment, she’s never been one for the sauce and hates that I drink whiskey “like a man.”
    “Someone caught a picture of him leaning into you far too close for our liking and it does impose a certain bit of closeness and the intimacy indicated between you two. If that closeness wasn’t enough to spark rumors, his having a hand on your arm certainly did the trick.” Cynde whispered harshly in the background again and mama let out a deep breath before informing me there was a new picture being posted to the website in addition to the first. “Here, you two are both laughing quite deeply and again he has a hand on your hand with a twinkle in his eye for you.” I sigh loudly. “Don’t you take that tone of breath with me little girl.” She warned.
    I simply smiled knowing she wasn’t angry but knew me all too well. “He couldn’t hear me over the host, that was all as far as the first picture and for the second, yes ma’am, he said something humorous and I laughed. Don’t worry about it. In Hollywood, things usually find a way to snub themselves out in five minutes. By the afternoon I’ll probably be long forgotten. Plus, I made it quite clear that I had no intention of meeting him for anything else and that I was not searching for anything. If we come near each other again, it will be a matter of coincidence, I promise you this. I have no intentions of chasing this man, being alone with him or leading him on.” I not only heard but felt both of them relax and take a deep calming breath in sync.
    Beep Beep.
    “Mama, can you hold on a minute, that’s my other line.”
    “Call me later, I have to go clean up and set breakfast out for your daddy and brothers.”
    “Okay mama, I love you. Tell Mrs. Cyn I love her too.”
    “Bye baby!” I heard Cynde yell to me over the line.
    Click.
    “This is Taylor and it is 5 AM, how can I not help you?”
    “Wow, even your sleepy, grumpy voice is sexy.” That silky voice, why does it sound so familiar?
    I cleared my throat and picked my head back up, looking at the phone screen a minute.
    “I’m sorry, who is this?” Oh, but I know. My previous topic of conversation with two territorial and very annoyed mamas. And so it has been answered; no, it cannot nor will it go my way.
    He cleared his throat and apologized. “Forgive me. This is Jason, we met last night.”
    “Oh.” I frowned. “I’m sorry, I know I drank last night but I don’t remember really getting drunk until after Matt and I left. Did I give you my number?” Of course I didn’t. But I could take one guess who did. I was certain Jamie wouldn’t but if he said it was her, I wouldn’t be totally surprised.
    “Um, no. Actually, you shot me down in a first attempt at dinner.” He chuckled and was he… was he nervous? “Matt actually text it to me and told me I should give you a call today.”
    “Oh he did, did he?” Of course he did. Note to self, remind Siri to remind me to kill him dead.
    My front door opened with a squeak and I automatically reached for my .22 hoping like hell it was actually Matt coming down the hall quietly because I had the perfect gift for him. I knew it wouldn’t be Jamie because I could hear her snoring between three closed doors and a long hall.
    “I hope I’m not interrupting something.” Jason said, practically begging for approval it seemed, or was it information he was looking for without actually
