Page 30 of Beginning at the End
By the third set, her legs were protesting, and she had to try twice to get the lock in place.She did it and exhaled.
Delia’s voice came from behind her.“That was spectacular, as always.”
Eudora cleaned up the machine and smiled.“Thanks.Nothing like leg pressing six hundred pounds to gain a crowd.Willing to help me put the plates back?”
“Sure.”
They chatted as they moved the fifty-pound plates back to the rack, and Eudora smiled.“You going to the charity thing on Sunday?”
“Yup.Have to show up for the fam, or whatever folks are saying these days.”
Eudora grinned.“I am pretty sure I am going to be there.”
“I thought you and Likon had split.”
“We have, though, that shit is complicated.”
Delia smiled.“Juice bar?”
“Definitely.”
They walked over to the juice bar and got some small smoothies.Eudora explained everything, and by the time her explanation was over, she coughed lightly.“And I may have found someone who would be interested in you.He’s a bit goofy, very pleasant, and knows that if a girl’s going to eat with her hands, you bring her food she eats with her hands.”
“Colour me intrigued.”
“I am trying to get him to the event on Sunday, but I will be attending with my lawyer.Yes, I know how that sounds.”
Delia giggled.“So, what does this someone do?”
“IT, and he can double as a cameraman.Steady hands.”
Delia snorted.
“He’s not as pretty as his brother, but I don’t know many women who could manage that.”
She felt warmth behind her.
Delia giggled.“That’s going to be fun.You mention him, and he looms out of nowhere.”
“Yeah, well, the guy I was mentioning is his younger brother and built like a tank,” she muttered.
Delia laughed.“This will be interesting.Yes, I would love to meet him.For the entertainment factor alone.”
Sern asked, “Done with your workout?”
“Yup.”
“Ready for dinner?”
“I can be out of the shower in ten minutes.Dressed in three.”
He grinned.“See you in ten.”
Delia barked a laugh, and Eudora looked at her.“See you Sunday.”
She headed for the change room with a glare at Sern.“Joke’s on you; I can shower in five.”
