Talk it Over

Sitting on the sofa later that night, Bree did her best to listen to Trent tell her about his day. She really was interested in how it had gone. He’d spent the day interviewing candidates for his receptionist job. Since he’d been kind enough to go with her to auditions for her band, the least she could do was listen to him now. But try as she might to pay attention to what Trent was saying, her mind kept wandering.

Zach was considering quitting the band. How could he do that? It was so hard to imagine anyone quitting because he had a crush on her, especially someone like Zach. He was unbelievably good looking and could date any woman he wanted--well, any woman but her, anyway, because she was taken--but any single woman would be happy to go out with someone like Zach. So why was he hung up on her?

“Bree? Are you okay? Something seems to be bothering you,” Trent said, leaning forward to rest his hand on her leg.
