Free One Size Fits All (The Classy ‘n’ Sassy Series Book 3) by Stephanie Haefner

shook as he replied.
    Next time I’ll kiss you for real
    His phone dinged again within seconds.
    Then I hope the next time is real soon.
    More flutters. He could leave school and drive over to Classy ’n’ Sassy. No one would care, right?
    But that’s not the way he wanted it. He really liked her and wanted to do it right. It could wait. But that didn’t mean they couldn’t text flirt some more. He started to reply, but a voice pulled him away.
    “Coach Rublinski?”
    Ugh. He knew that voice. Joey’s mom. He’d talked to her on the phone a few times since their first encounter. She’d complained about how exhausted Joey was. How sore his muscles were. How dirty and smelly his clothes were after practice. What could it possibly be now?
    “Hello, Ms. O’Conner. What can I do for you?”
    “My kid eats like a horse, thanks to you. I can’t afford to keep up.”
    “I’m sorry about that, but he’s doing great. He works harder than any other kid on the team. I think it’s a great experience for him.”
    She sighed. “I can’t argue with you. I’ve noticed the change in him. In a good way. So I guess we’ll continue with it. For the rest of this season, anyway.”
    “I’m glad to hear it. Thank you. You won’t regret it.”
    She walked away and Thor exhaled with relief. He knew football wasn’t a magical fix for Joey’s problems, but at least it was something. And he was glad his mom saw it, too.

    PENNY KEPT her phone close by, giddy at the texts she’d exchanged with Theo. And she certainly needed some giddiness in her day. The morning’s relaxation had vanished in the two minutes of horror she’d experienced with her debit card decline. She’d practically sped home so she could make some calls and set up some interviews with the places she’d jotted down the other day. Then she had to rush to get ready and get to Classy ’n’ Sassy by one.
    “You look happy,” Mia said as she passed by the front counter.
    “I got a couple texts from Theo.”
    Mia’s eyebrow rose. “Oh, really? So things are going good with you two?”
    “They are.”
    “Good. I’m happy for you. But be careful. You’re just getting out of a bad relationship. You don’t want to move too fast with the next guy.” Mia was always a worrywart, even with Bryn, so she took no offense to her natural tendency for caution.
    “I won’t.” Just then, her text alert sounded. “I’m going to take my break now. Is that okay?”
    Mia looked around the shop. It wasn’t too busy, and Chanel was already taking care of one of the customers. “That’s fine.”
    She scooted out the employee entrance to the parking lot. There was a little area off to the side with a small table and chairs. It was a perfect place to get some air and get away from the shop for five minutes. She immediately opened her text messages.
    Sorry Lots fo parents to talk to. but back to our conversatin and the kiss that will happen next time.
    Oh yes. She most definitely would like to get back to that chat.
    Sounds fantastic to me. The question is when?
    Can’t do tomorrow but wed I have practis til 6. Free after that
    :( I have the late shift at the shop on wed. How about Thursday?
    I work at the Red Brik thur, fri & sat nites
    Ugh. Their schedules just didn’t match up.
    I guess we’ll have to wait then.
    She shouldn’t be so sad about a guy she recently started dating, but she hated to type those words. She wanted to see him now!
    Don’t woory It will be worth the wait.
    That sounded promising.
    I’m holding you to that.
    Penny sent her last text and headed back inside. Barely two seconds later Mia called her name.
    “Can you come here?”
    She headed to Mia’s office door. Chanel was already in there, standing next to Mia, leaning over to look at her computer screen.
    “What’s up?” Penny asked.
    “We were looking at the website and noticed a few things. You need to remove all the Oliver stuff, since he’s no longer a Classy ’n’
