like he’d just been punched in the stomach?
    “She’s really happy. I mean she’s been happy, but now she’s got an extra glow. It gives me hope that the end of a relationship isn’t the end of love forever.”
    “I . . .” What could he say? His stomach burned. It wasn’t his fault that Jaci ate her way to over 200 pounds. That she dropped out of life except to take care of the children’s basic needs. You can’t make someone care.
    “Don’t sweat it, Dad. It takes two to make something work. Personally I think she still carried a torch for you and that’s why it was hard for her to even get involved with Jason. Maybe you need to settle down. Although I don’t think Barbara is quite the settling down type. ”
    Scott smiled and wrapped his arms around her. No matter how big she got, he would always remember her as a spunky 6 year old. “You always were the optimistic one. Barbara is just fine. We enjoy each other’s company and we both like the same things. She has her career and I have mine. As much as you wish otherwise, I am never getting married again. Twice is more than enough. You need to enjoy your party and finish planning your last Summer of freedom.”
    Selena smiled up at him with golden brown eyes that he knew matched his own. “I just want you to both be happy.”
    “We are. I don’t have to be married to be happy.”
    “I love you, Dad.”
    “I love you too, Princess.”
    “Selena, come here!” a young blond yelled from across the makeshift dance floor. “Jeremy just texted Allison back!”
    And just like that she was gone. The swarm of teenagers still made him uncomfortable so he migrated towards the buffet table. Thankfully Jaci had moved somewhere else and Scott was able to find a semi-quiet corner with which to watch the action. Sipping the punch in his hand, he silently wished for a beer instead.
    “You never did like large crowds.” The soft voice washed over him alerting senses he forgot he had.

    EXCERPT:
    What the hell am I doing here? I have a perfectly comfortable relationship back home. Why in the world did I agree to be dragged out to a bar? A warm sensation spread through her body at the thought of the last night with her lover. At least he’s away on one of his longer business trips. Spending time with Rob and Lisa is the perfect distraction from a few lonely nights.
    “How do I look?” Alexandra pulled at her blue, flannel shirt.
                  Lisa rolled her eyes and slammed the Jeep door closed.  She shivered in the cool, night air. “I told you already. You look fine.” The gravel crunched beneath her feet as she walked around the front of the Jeep to watch Alexandra begin rolling down the sleeves of her shirt. “You always look fine. Even in my cowboy boots and flannel shirt you look good.” Lisa laughed. “Who are you trying to impress? Rob's buddies? Honey, if you're female and breathing then you'll do fine.” Lisa clicked her tongue. "You know it's going to be hot as all get out in that bar. Why are you rolling your sleeves down?"
