She sighed, glaring at his message. Yes, she had been unable to sleep. No, it wasn't because she cared a fig about who Rick had chosen. She'd googled it anyway. It had been pretty obvious that he would choose Madeleine after Olivia had dropped out of the running.
She was just relieved that she hadn't made a total idiot of herself.

Later, as she walked to work, she felt bad for being short with him. It wasn't his fault if he didn't feel that way about her. Why should that matter? He was still the most amazing friend she had and she needed to remember that.

The next weekend she had a Saturday off, and she and Neet decided to spend the day together, shopping and going for drinks afterwards. It had been Jen's idea and she was pleased that Neet had gone for it. Jen had decided it was time for a bit of a wardrobe revamp; it wasn't likely that she would get to Cordonia now, but just in case, it would be good to have some hot looks to take with her.
