oldies and even open it to Karaoke.”
    “Hmm.”
    They were early enough Sabrina found a table for four away from the dance floor. Kat and Jill found them, no trouble. Fifties and sixties rock n’ roll was played over the sounds system.
    No sooner had they been seated Kat grabbed Travis and dragged him to the dance floor.
    As they started to walk away, Jill started in on her. Jill fluffed her reddish-blonde hair, smoothed down her dress, and danced in place. Jill never needed a partner to enjoy herself.
    “How did you manage to hook up with Trent? I mean it’s not like you to even meet us here, and to show up, and with him of all people. Damn girl.”
    “Calm down. He’s Trent’s twin brother, Travis. Trent’s in Palm Springs. Travis has taken over the magazine. Guess I’ll see more of him.”
    On the dance floor, Kat and Travis carried on a heated conversation. Her hands flew like Jill’s favorite RAW wrestler talking smack.
    He must bring out the bad in everyone he meets. Sabrina almost felt sorry for him.
    “Holy shit, that’s right. I forgot there are two of those decadently delicious men.” Jill licked her lips and continued dancing.
    “Not so fast. Travis is nothing like Trent. I’m glad I met Trent first. Because based on what I’ve seen and heard from Travis, if it wasn’t for Kat, I wouldn’t give the jerk the time of day.”
    “You don’t have anything to worry about, Miss Prissy-pants. Chances are he’ll give you the same old line that you’re too sweet to date and you’ll never hear from him again.”
    “Don’t remind me of Rick, please.” The night was already bad enough. And with Jill dancing there, looking gorgeous as usual and not a self-conscious bone in her body, Sabrina wanted to disappear. Being around Jill and Kat was always fun, except at the club, where she simply didn’t fit in.
    “You’re better off without that schmuck. It was one thing to give you such a bad line. I mean, whoever heard a guy say a girl is too sweet to date?”
    “I know but that wasn’t the worst part. Telling me it would be like dating his kid sister’s friend. Really? We were the same age. Only he acted more like a pre-pubescent boy.”
    “And let’s not forget what a skin flint he was.”
    “No kidding. Who leaves a lousy ten percent tip these days? I felt so guilty I tucked a five under my plate as we left.” Jill’s gardenia scent wafted in the air. She was just like a gardenia. Vivid, fragrant, exotic, and who didn’t love gardenias? At least the fragrance was strong enough to kill the sickeningly cloying colognes some of the men wore.
    It was impossible for her to hear a word of what Kat was saying. By the looks of things, Travis couldn’t get a word in. Oh how she wished to be a gnat on his shoulder.
    “Back to the topic of Travis,” Jill said. “If you’re not interested, mind if I have a go at him? He’s positively scrumptious.” Jill stared at Travis and licked her lips again, more slowly this time and with a glimmer of lust in her eyes. Jill huffed into her palms and rubbed her hands together.
    Sabrina’s clenched jaw ached. He wasn’t even Trent. Maybe it was more the fact Jill never doubted her attraction to the opposite sex. “Oh for God’s sakes, Jill, he isn’t an all-day sucker.”
    Jill laid a hand on her shoulder. “Ah, honey, I’m sorry. I’m joshin’ you. What’s the matter? You’re upset. Talk to me.” Jill finally dropped into a bar stool beside Sabrina.
    Why did she feel jealous? If anything, she should feel sorry for Travis. On second thought, no. “You’re right. Travis told me today the magazine has to lay off a few of the staff.”
    “Ohmygod Sabrina, I’m so sorry. I can’t believe Kat laid you off.” Even in her outrage, Jill looked sexy wiggling to the beat.
    “No, that’s just it. Kat’s no longer in charge. She stepped down to go back to school full time.”
    “WTF?” Jill stopped chair dancing.
    “Exactly. Travis is now the
