JEN

My best friend, Abby?

She’s everything I’m not.

Tall, athletic, and a talented dancer with a college degree.

I missed her like nothing else when she was away, and since she came back from college, I hardly get to see her anymore.

So, I'm all in when she suggests a sleepover, just the two of us like it used to be.

That’s the good news.

The bad news?

She’s on call, waiting to hear if she’s got a part in an off-Broadway production.

It’s not the end of the world, and I hope she does get the part, but it would be neat if it could just be us two girls alone for the weekend again.

I miss those days.

Oh. And the other great news?

Her dad is gonna be home, meaning it won’t be strictly a girl’s only weekend after all.

He’s hardly ever home anyway, you won’t even know he’s there….

That’s what I try to tell myself. But Abby kinda knows.

At least, I think she knows about how I’ve had a thing for her dad for a while now.

But that’s just a stupid crush. And not the sort of thing to get in the way of a girl’s weekend sleepover.

Is it?

KANE

Jen?

Little chubby Jen?

I know it’s her. She’s Abby’s best friend.

I used to drop Abby off at Jen’s place so her mom could watch her when I went off to work. But that was a long time ago. And Abby’s all grown up. Jen, too by the looks.

I can see that for myself.

I haven’t seen her for years. I’ve been working the oil rigs, so I am away a lot. Until she magically appears in my kitchen wearing nothing but her panties and a T-shirt.

Giving me silent instruction on just how grown-up someone half my age can really be.

Abby’s arranged a ‘sleepover’ for her and her bestie.

How cute.

I promise myself as soon as I find out that, I won’t get in the way.

They won’t even know I’m there.
