have changed.”
    “Then man up and tell her.”
    “Did you notice how big her melons were? I would be a fool to turn that down.”
    Garth tried his best to control his anger. Trevor was his friend but the way he was talking now, didn’t sound like the friend he grew up with. Maybe working so close together, they lost sight of their friendship. He didn’t have room to say much because he had been sleeping with his fiancé; but he thought Trevor was one of the good guys. Now he didn’t know for sure. What bothered him the most is the fact that he cared whether or not Eva got hurt; lately he had been thinking about Eva more than he should.
    “I’m through playing referee between you two. If this is the end for you two, let it be the end. Set her free.”
    “I’m trying, but she won’t let me go.”
    “You’re not trying hard enough,” Garth said, as he left Trevor standing by his locker.

    “Garth, I need you. Please come right away,” Eva pouted.
    “You’re not my only client,” he responded.
    “I know, but Brenda had a doctor’s appointment and I just don’t feel safe with everything that’s been going on.”
    “I’ll be over as soon as I can.”
    Eva wiped the smile off her face as she hung up the phone. Although her charm never seemed to work on Garth, she would do whatever she had to, to convince him to help her stop Trevor’s upcoming nuptials.
    Eva spent the next hour preparing breakfast meant for a king. It had been ages since she had cooked Garth breakfast. In college, she would sometimes surprise him and Trevor with breakfast. Of course during that time, she was trying to impress Trevor with her culinary skills. Many assumed that because she was a super model that her skills stopped on the runway.
    She was buttering her homemade biscuits when the buzzer sounded indicating she had a visitor. She tightened the apron she had on and met Garth at the door.
    “The great Eva Ward dressed in an apron,” Garth said, right before entering the house.
    Eva didn’t know if she should smile or be offended that Garth found her attire funny.
    “Don’t frown sweetie. The look is becoming.”
    “Just for that, I want let you taste some of my freshly baked biscuits.” Eva led Garth to the kitchen.
    Garth sniffed out loud. “I’m only teasing. You know I could never resist your biscuits.”
    Eva mumbled to herself, “I know.”
    Eva made sure she made Garth a healthy plate filled with creamy buttered grits, several home made biscuits and almost a whole slab of crisp bacon and she topped it off with a large glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.
    She made herself a plate of a small helping of each. A strange feeling went through her as she watched Garth devour the food placed in front of him.
    In between bites, he said, “I almost forgot how good your breakfast is.”
    “Eat up. There’s more if you like.”
    “And mess up this manly figure,” Garth joked.
    Eva couldn’t resist smiling. When he wasn’t being a jerk, Garth had a good sense of humor. Now was the time. Either she’d spring her idea on him now, or else she would lose her opportunity to catch him with his guards down. .
    She took a sip of her orange juice before clearing her throat. “We’ve been friends for how long now?” Eva asked.
    Garth placed his fork down and stopped eating. “I should have known. Eva doesn’t do anything without wanting something in return.”
    “I’m offended.”
    “If I’m lying, tell me I am. If not, just spit out what you want.”
    She stuttered, “I…well. Doggone it Garth, why do you make things so difficult?”
    He leaned back in his chair and let out a hearty laugh. “You’re a trip. You put on this damsel in distress act one minute and the next minute you’re showing how manipulative you can be. Now who is the one being difficult?”
    Eva looked Garth directly in the eyes. “Okay.  I admit you’ve been right from the start. I do want Trevor back.”
    “You two are a trip
