joking.”
    “I think we both know I’m not.”
    “This conversation is stupid.”
    Sam leaned toward me. “You can’t hide it, Lisa. It’s written all over you right now. It’s true. You have a crush on Sean.”
    “I think I’ve heard enough,” I said. But I didn’t get up. I couldn’t.
    “So I have a proposal.”
    “What?”
    “I’ll keep your little secret if you go on a date with me. Just one date.”
    My mouth dropped open. “You’re blackmailing me for a date?”
    “Yes, I am.”
    “Are you insane?”
    “Maybe dinner and a movie. Something simple.”
    “I cannot believe I’m hearing this.”
    “Look, it’s not so bad, really. You have the hots for Sean. I look a lot like him.” He gestured to himself as if to make this point.
    “Is this how you usually pick up women? Because I gotta tell you, it’s pathetic.”
    “No. But in your case, I’m making an exception.”
    “What is this, some kind of game to you?”
    “No. Absolutely not. I’m completely serious. I really want you to go out with me, and I’ve already figured out that I have to go to extreme measures to make that happen.”
    “I feel like I’m on a hidden camera TV show or something.”
    “Lisa, I go after what I want. And I want you.”
    “Too bad, kid.” I stood up. “This time, you’re out of luck.” I walked out of the bar like I owned the place.

    “Is everything okay? Why are you whispering?”
    “Because I’m in the back of the bus right now.”
    “You’re headed to Seattle?”
    “Yeah.”
    “So you’re hiding out?”
    “Yes. Everyone else is up front and Bell promised not let them disturb me.”
    “Oh. So something is definitely up,” my sister said, sounding intrigued.
    “It’s Sam. He’s driving me nuts.”
    “Hmmm. He’s been hitting on you, huh?”
    “How did you know?”
    “He’s had a thing for you since the wedding.”
    “What? Why didn’t you tell me?!”
    “I don’t know. I guess I just… ya know. I don’t know why I didn’t tell you.”
    “Well, he’s driving me crazy. I might not have come if I’d known.”
    “Aw come on, how bad could it be?”
    “Bad. I had a date with Joe last night–”
    “Joe, the drummer?”
    “Yeah, why?”
    “He just doesn’t seem like your type.”
    “Why not?” I asked.
    “He’s cute and all, but he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.”
    “Whatever, I had a date with him, and Sam showed up and scared him off. Then he tried to blackmail me into dating him.”
    “Blackmail you?” Dani laughed. “Wow, that’s creative.”
    “Creative? It’s insane!”
    I realized my voice was getting loud and I made an effort to lower it.
    “So what did he blackmail you with?”
    Oh crap. I’d screwed up. “I don’t want to tell you.”
    “Come on, Lisa. What’s he got on you?”
    “I’m not telling.”
    “Oooh, that must mean that whatever it is, you don’t want me to know. This is intriguing.”
    “I’m sorry I said anything.”
    “Come on, Leese. What could Sam possibly know about you that I don’t?”
    I didn’t say anything. I was trying to figure out how to get out of this hole I’d dug myself.
    “Did he figure out that you have a crush on Sean?”
    Holy shit.
    “Lisa? Is that it?”
    “What are you talking about?” I whispered.
    “Oh come on. I know you think my husband’s hot. And I don’t blame you. I do, too.”
    I was floored. I tried to steer away from sounding too defensive. “If you think that, why would you send me on a tour with him?”
    “Are you kidding? What do you mean?”
    “I mean, if you think I have a thing for your husband, why would you… You’re as crazy as Sam.”
    “Oh please, Lisa. I think you have a harmless crush. So what? It’s not like you’re going to try to seduce him.”
    “Of course not!” The thought hadn’t even crossed my mind. Which did make me feel a little better.
    “Exactly. So what?”
    “So what?! It’s a big deal.”
    “No, it’s not. People crush on
