Prandi knew what Becca was trying to do. It was so transparent. And the funniest part was that Jameson seemed completely nonplussed about what Becca was doing.

First Becca began by ensnaring Paul in conversation, which was not a hard thing to do … if the topic was Paul himself. Then she advanced to the next stage, laughing throatily at something Paul said and touching him ever so gently on the arm.

Prandi sipped her margarita and watched Becca flirt shamelessly with Paul. Paul sure is a stupid jerk. He doesn’t realize she’s just using him to make Jameson jealous. God, what did I ever see in him? she thought, and the thought materialized into a smirk on her face. Unfortunately, Jameson saw it and his eyebrows lifted in that inquisitive way of his.

He leaned towards Prandi. Becca and Paul were currently deep in discussion about the merits of spray-tanning versus tanning beds. “Have your parents brought up the whole arranged marriage thing again?”

“Worse. We’re meeting the in-laws this weekend.”
