“What else?” Brina asked since they’d gotten this far.
“In my dream you ran into him more than once. It was like everywhere you went he was there. Not only that but there was also some misunderstanding or confusion. Like an assumption gone wrong. I couldn’t pinpoint it. You know how it is.”
“Great,” she said. “I hope that doesn’t mean I’ll get another ticket.”
“I doubt it,” Blair said. “Just that in my dream you two were dancing around each other. Lots of smiling and snarky words.”
“The snarky words had to be from my mouth,” she said. “Though I was nice to him when he pulled me over.”
“I’m sure you were. You probably had all your information ready for him before he got to the window so you could be accommodating.”
She bared her teeth. “I was in a hurry. I thought it’d speed things up.”
“You’re so easy to rile at times. Eat your cheese and grapes. I’ll be right back.”
Brina grabbed a few grapes and popped them in her mouth while Blair walked into the house. When she came back there was a container in her hands. “What’s that?”
“Lemon bars.”
“Oh man, and this is why I come to visit. You didn’t even know I was coming and don’t say you had a dream I’d be here so you were going to make my favorite treat.”
“No,” Blair said. “I made them because Philip likes them and set these aside for you. I was going to drop them over to your place tomorrow on my way to work, but when you texted earlier I figured I’d give them to you tonight.”
She pulled the lid off and the scent of citrus and cream cheese hit her hard. “You’re the best cousin ever,” she said, reaching in and pulling one out, then biting into it.
“Yes, I am,” Blair said back.
An hour later, Brina decided it was time to go home. “Thanks for letting me visit and vent tonight.”
“Any time,” Blair said.
They walked off the deck together and to her SUV in the driveway.
She started the engine, stepped on the brake, and put it in reverse to do a three-point turn, then heard Blair yelling through the closed window.
Slamming on the brakes, she threw it in park, and rolled the window down. “What’s wrong?”
“You’ve got a brake light out.”
“What?” she asked.
“You’re brake light is out.”
She reached over into her briefcase and pulled out the ticket, read it, and realized that was why she was pulled over.
“I’ll be damned.”
“What?” Blair asked, moving closer. “Did you get a ticket for that instead of speeding?”
“Yeah.”
“Really?” Blair asked. “Kind of like a misunderstanding of something on your part.”
It took her a second to realize Blair was talking about her dream again. “Bye,” she said and pulled away.
The last thing she needed was a man in her life. Least of all a sexy state trooper. And though she told her cousin he was rugged, what she didn’t say was that it’d been way too long since she’d been drawn to any man for any reason and yet this one hadn’t left her mind all day.
She didn’t need to be distracted by a man again. She didn’t need one taking up all her thoughts either.
Been there and done that and never would again.
