“Might.”
“As long as it’s not dishwashing I’m good.” She held up our connected hands. “Just had my nails done.”
“Deal.” Now it was my turn to get information fromher.

“Whatareyouworkingon?” I asked Angelina as I set her soda down beside her computer she was furiously typing on.
“Christmas Ball details.” She looked up. “Thanks for the drink. How are ya?”
“Good. What are you doing here?” The bar didn’t open for about an hour or so, but here she was.
She cleared her throat. “Just…you know…trying to get out more. And Hunter’s here, helping some newbie.”
I laughed. “Yeah, I saw them earlier, they’re…intense.”
“Hunter doesn’t know how to be anything but.”
“True.” I grinned at the way her face beamed when she talked about Hunter.
Damn green beast of jealousy ripped through my chest with a jagged knife. I would never know that, would I?
“I like your new hair. Pink streak is pretty cool.”
I shrugged. “Was feeling frisky.”
Angelina laughed. “You liking the self-defense classes?”
“They’re awesome. You’re getting really good, too.”
“He’s a good teacher, isn’t he? He tested and officially got his black belt and is a certified teacher now.” She pulled out the chair beside her. “Got time to chat? Or are you swamped?”
She wantedmeto sit? The skanky chick who’d hit on her husband more than I cared to admit? “Um, sure. What’s up?” I sat, setting my tray on her table.
“You’ve been in the class now for a couple of months, but we’ve never really talked, that’s all.”
“Oh.” I couldn’t feel more uncomfortable. A drink would be good right about now. I socialized much better when tipsy. “Soo…”
“Not much into the chatting, huh?”
Now I had to laugh. She pegged me pretty accurately.
“I’m new at it, too, so we’re a good pair. It’s October…you doing any Halloween parties? Is that a safe question to start out with?”
As long as she avoided anything personal, I was good with it. “I usually work. It’s a busy time. But I might dress up.”
“As…”
“Maybe I’ll try Lara Croft…” I smacked her shoulder. “Or are you going as that again?”
“How’d you know?”
“Drey told me.” Oops, didn’t mean to leak that.
“Yeah, he and Hunter are pretty good friends, huh? She’s my freaking hero. Wicked strong and kicks ass. But I’ll loan her to you if you need her.”
