Chapter 9Some days a whole afternoon would pass quietly and Jay would have nothing to distract him from his reading. This was not one of those days. The distractions started almost as soon as Jay showed up for his shift at the desk, beginning in the form of Jeni breezing in for a meeting with Stephen. She smiled and winked at him as she walked by, and even though it went against the spirit of the center, Jay wished they could just ban her outright from walking through the door. But she had just as much right to be there as he did.
“Do you know what they’re talking about in there?” Santos asked, sidling up to Jay’s desk and trying to peer through the closed blinds.
“Probably Pride. She’s on the committee.”
“Sally is on the committee and she didn’t mention a meeting today.”
Jay shrugged.
