Chapter 2
Andy felt herself relaxing as Traci told her about Leo tackling Jerry at his excitement to see him, glad that she had agreed to go out for drinks with her best friend. "So Trace, tell…" She trailed off when she noted her friend's confused expression. "Traci, what's wrong?"
"Don't look now, but Sam Swarek is staring at you. It's intense. I thought you said there was nothing going on between you two?" Andy felt a blush color her cheeks.
"There's nothing going on between me and Sam."
"And you expect me to believe that, the way he's looking at you right now?"
"Well…" Oh, what the hell. Traci can keep a secret. "The night of the blackout, I kind of went over to his place- just to talk," she added, seeing the look on her friend's face. "But then it-"
"Um, Andy, you can explain later. Swarek's on his way over here," Traci cut her off. Andy quickly glanced over her shoulder and saw him, his jaw set and his dark eyes intent. Butterflies swooped around inside her as he drew nearer and nearer.
"I think maybe he wants to talk with me." Andy grinned at Traci. She snorted in response.
"Ya think? I'll give you two some space. Call me in the morning." She departed with a wink. She had barely been gone a few seconds when Sam slid into her now unoccupied spot.
