have, living all the way out here?” Trina asked.
    “Maybe he works from home,” Rob suggested. “I mean, look at this place. You don’t have a lakefront mansion on Lake Tahoe without a little success under your belt.”
    “True. But he did say he was a doctor,” John countered. “What kind of project work does a doctor have?”
    “Guys,” Abby called for their attention. “The man let us in his home and probably saved our butts from becoming blizzard statistics. Prying into his life and questioning his behavior is no way to show our gratitude.”
    “I’m with you, Abby,” Rob agreed, and made an effort to change the subject. “I don’t know about you people, but I’m starving. I’ll get breakfast started. Anyone want to help?”
    “John, go help Rob, will you?” Trina suggested.
    “Sure,” John answered. “I can get these clothes washed too.”
    He accepted a peck on the cheek as he passed Trina, and walked toward the hallway.
    “Lead the way, Rob.”
    As soon as they were out of earshot, Trina pulled up a chair beside Abby.
    “I want to know everything,” she whispered.
    “Everything about what?” Abby asked, confused about what Trina meant.
    “You are sporting the most obvious signs of kiss-blush, maybe even some make-out blush,” she answered.
    “I have no idea what you mean,” Abby said, a little flustered. “And what on earth is kiss-blush and make-out blush?”
    “Ahhh, just something I made up in high school. I was so creative back then. Thought for sure it would catch on…”
    “Well, I never heard of it,” Abby said, hoping Trina would change the subject.
    “So he kissed you, didn’t he?” she persisted.
    “What… how… why would you say that?” Abby stammered.
    “Look, I know we all barely know each other,” Trina started. “Well, except we all know Rob, I mean. But I can tell from a mile away. You got some action last night, didn’t you? You don’t have to give me details, but just know that I can tell. You’re flushed, you’ve got the smile that won’t stop, and your face is glowing brighter than the sun. Any woman who’s kissed someone she likes a lot has that exact look on her face for at least a day or two. That’s kiss-blush.”
    “God, is it that obvious?” Abby asked, a little worried.
    “So am I right?”
    “Um…you could say so,” Abby admitted.
    “Good for you, Abby. Good score!” Trina shouted.
    “Shhh. Keep it down, Trina.”
    “Sorry, sorry,” Trina whispered.
    “Please, don’t mention it to the others, okay? It was just something that kind of…it just happened and I don’t want to have to explain anything to anyone. It’s too early, you know?”
    Trina nodded and stood up from the chair. “I don’t know what the big deal is, Abby. You’re single, right?”
    “Yes.”
    “And is he?”
    “I don’t know,” Abby admitted. “I don’t know anything about him. And that’s why I don’t want to talk about it with anyone, okay?”
    “Okay,” Trina answered. “Your secret is safe with me.”
    “What secret,” Barb asked as she sauntered into the living room.
    “Nothing,” both Abby and Trina replied in unison.
    “Suit yourselves,” she said, rolling her eyes. She looked around the room. “So where’s handsome?”
    “In the kitchen with Rob,” Trina answered, giving a wink to Abby. “You were talking about John, right?”
    “Why would I care about where your man is, Trina?” Barb answered. “You know I meant Andrew.”
    “He doesn’t want to be disturbed today, Barb,” Trina informed her. “And from his reaction to you last night, I’d guess he’s not looking for a saucy firecracker like you.”
    “Never you mind about what you think is good for him,” Barb retorted. “Anyhow, what’s doing for breakfast?”
    “Rob and John are taking care of it. They’re on kitchen duty today,” Abby answered.
    “Good. I’m going to check out the library while I wait,” Barb announced as she headed out to the
