toward Jen. “Do tell.”
    In a very teenage-girl manner, Jen blushed and twirled her fingers in her blond hair. “Well, obviously he’s a cop. His name is Mike. He’s super tall, like a little over six feet—”
    â€œAnd that’s super tall?” Selena asked with a hint of snarkiness.
    â€œIt is when you’re barely five foot five,” Jen deadpanned.
    â€œAh…continue.”
    Jen’s expression turned a little dreamy. “He’s got blond hair, a little darker than mine, brown eyes, and a killer body. Honestly, I almost asked to be frisked.” She laughed, and Selena couldn’t help but join her. “I only talked to him for a minute before meeting with Ja…I mean, with the officer in charge, but he was super sweet.”
    â€œIs he single?”
    â€œI didn’t see a ring, but that doesn’t mean anything. I’ve gone back to the station twice just to give an update on Todd’s behavior, and Mike has been there each time. He always gives me a big smile, and I think if I even gave a hint that I was interested, he might be too.”
    â€œSo why haven’t you given him more than a hint?”
    â€œOh, please, Selena,” Jen said dismissively. “I’m a twenty-eight-year-old woman with a stalker, for lack of a better word. How can I drag a nice man into this situation?”
    â€œWhy would you even think that? That’s ridiculous!”
    â€œI’m sure that I’m coming off a bit like a drama queen to them. Todd hasn’t done anything crazy; he’s just annoying the crap out of me. Guys like Mike, they see people with real stalkers who are way more violent than Todd. On some level, I’m betting Mike thinks I’m overreacting a bit. Either that or he thinks I’m going in there just to see him.”
    â€œAre you?” Selena asked coyly.
    Jen made a face. “No,” she said firmly. “It’s only a perk.” They both laughed, and Jen shifted in her seat. “Plus, while I know I’m not hideous or anything, guys just don’t notice me, not the way they notice you.”
    Selena’s green eyes grew wide. “Me? What are you talking about? Where did that even come from?”
    â€œIt’s so annoying that you’re so beautiful and don’t even know it or appreciate it.”
    â€œYou’ve lost me, Jen.” How had they even gotten started on this topic?
    She sighed dramatically. “Okay, first, there’s your hair.”
    â€œWhat’s wrong with my hair?” Selena asked self-consciously as she ran her hands over it.
    â€œNothing! That’s my point! You have this…fabulous hair that looks great no matter what you’re doing.”
    â€œDon’t be ridiculous.”
    â€œDon’t make me pull out old photos.”
    â€œYou have photos of my hair? That’s just weird, Jen.”
    â€œNot of your hair, but of you. We’ve been friends forever, and honestly I’ve never seen you have a bad hair day. It makes it hard not to hate you just a little bit.”
    â€œOkay, fine. I have good hair. Guys don’t notice that, do they?” she asked with a hint of confusion.
    â€œYes, guys notice that. Especially in combination with your perfect skin, big eyes, and your damn curvy figure.”
    â€œCurvy is another word for chubby, I believe.”
    Jen glared at her. “Um…no. You have like…the fifties pinup girl thing going on. It’s sexy.”
    â€œOkay, now you’re just creeping me out,” Selena said with a smile. “You just saw me plow through the Chinese food, and might I remind you of all the pizza and milk shakes we’ve consumed over the years? And at the end of the day, I’d seriously have to consider dropping a good fifteen to twenty pounds to be pinup material.”
    â€œYou look exactly the way you did in high school. It’s like time forgot you, but in a
