“To be honest, I’m relieved Roger and I called off our engagement.”
The snippet of conversation from the booth behind her pulled Dr. Ellie
Swann’s nose out of her medical journal. She blinked and stared at the large
window beside her. Its reflection offered a view of the bustling interior of
DeShay’s Diner, including the booth where Melody Merritt and Ginny Boca
huddled over pie and coffee.
Ellie forced her attention back to her journal and held her breath, waiting
for the conversation to resume. No, Melody’s broken engagement was none
of her business, and yes, eavesdropping was wrong, wrong, wrong. But she
couldn’t resist listening in, because the discussion involved Roger Reynolds,
the object of her longstanding and completely secret adoration.
“Roger and I weren’t well suited. I know we looked like the perfect couple
—high school sweethearts and all—but between college in Manhattan, and
then law school and the clerkship in DC, he changed. He picked up big-city
tastes in some, ahem, intimate areas.”
Goodness. Ellie used her napkin to blot the sweat from her upper lip. Like
what?
“What do you mean?” Ginny asked, her voice pregnant with curiosity.
Ellie flipped the page in her journal and feigned deep interest in an article
about a recent drug trial for a female libido enhancer, of all things.
“He wanted me to—” Melody paused. Ellie peeked in the window and
watched the blonde’s reflection glance around the diner, scanning the area for
prying eyes and ears. Wise move. Sleepy little Bluelick, Kentucky, might be
a mere speck on the map, but it boasted a grapevine of staggering efficiency.
Ellie shamefully included herself in the prying eyes and ears category, but
the real irony was Melody’s choice of confidant. If the local gossips elected a
president, Ginny would win by a landslide.
Apparently satisfied she had no unwanted listeners, Melody leaned toward
Ginny and whispered. Ginny’s mouth dropped open. Ellie strained to hear,
but it was no use.
The statuesque blonde leaned back in her chair and shuddered delicately. “I
am not that kind of girl. I just won’t do those things. I mean, I like sex as
much as the next woman, but Roger’s looking for a nymphomaniac. His ideal
woman has a whole lot of experience and very few boundaries.” She sighed
and shook her head. “I’ll always love him, as a friend, but really, it’s for the
best.”
Hours later Ellie stared at the moonlight slanting through the window of her
cozy bedroom and reviewed the conversation she’d overheard at the diner.
