Chapter 10Felicity was still thinking of the lost opportunity for a kiss when her cell phone rang.
Hopeful beyond reason, she answered it without even seeing who it was. She’d been anticipating Dakota, though that was ridiculous. She didn’t have her number. Only a vague promise of catching up later at her next shift at the bar had been promised, and given the crowded atmosphere and otherwise lack of alone time, that meeting wouldn’t yield a kiss. Maybe a slight flirtation, but those were mostly puns. Barely anything to hang hopes on. Felicity should have known that it could have never been Dakota on the other line.
And, so, who else called and waited through the six rings it took before Felicity answered? Her mother. It would have only been her mother.
“Hello? Felicity?”
