Charlene's feelings were a tangled mess. "Yeah, I did pick up on it."

But honestly, when Gaylord handed her that drink earlier, she hadn't thought much of it. It wasn't until she caught the way he acted around York-the way tension flickered in his eyes, that edge of jealousy-that she realized, belatedly, Gaylord might actually like her.

Connie laughed again.

Charlene knew exactly what Connie meant. "They know, at least a little. I've been married, I have a child, and I'm getting a divorce-I made sure to tell York about it directly. As for Gaylord... I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it at work, so he should know too."

The fact that Gaylord knew all that-plus the fact he was a few years younger- left Charlene genuinely surprised when she started to sense his feelings for her.

Connie nodded in approval. "That's good. I haven't known them long, but I have a feeling they're both genuinely into you. Maybe you should give one of them a shot."

Charlene bit her lip, looking down in silence.
