Kill Her Again
Page 27
“Like it was destiny or something.”
“That’s wonderful,” Suzie said.
Jillian nodded, grabbing Danny’s arm, pulling him close. “Then later we both got certified and went into business together.”
“Oh? What kind of business?”
“We have a hypnotherapy clinic downtown,” Danny said. “Jillian does the chronic smokers and bed wetters and I specialize in forensics.”
“He works with the police a lot,” Jillian said.
“Hypnotherapy, huh? I’ll have to look you up sometime and you can put me under, discover all my deep, dark secrets.”
They all laughed and Suzie checked her watch. “Oh, crap. I’ve gotta go. But it was great seeing you, Jills.” She touched Jillian’s stomach. “Is it a boy or a girl?”
“A boy,” Jillian said. “We’re thinking of calling him Ben.”
“Great name. I almost used that one myself, but my husband overruled me.” She smiled. “Anyway, I’d better get out of here. Give me your number and I’ll call you.”
They exchanged numbers, gave each other a hug, then Suzie said her good-byes and headed for the exit.
“Nice girl,” Danny said, watching her as she walked away.
“Keep your eyes in your head, buster. You’re taken.” She looked at the bags in his hands. “Did you buy me anything?”
“Fat chance,” Danny told her. “You’d only return it.”
“Don’t worry,” Jake said. “I bought you something.”
“Oh?”
“Well, not really for you. But for Ben, once you pop the little bugger out.”
“What is it?” Jillian asked. “Let me see.”
Jake dug around in his bag. “It was actually Ronnie’s idea. We saw it in the Babies ‘R’ Us window and couldn’t resist.”
“ He couldn’t resist,” Ronnie said. “I had nothing to do with it.”
“Well, come on, spill.”
Jillian watched as Jake dug around in the bag some more and finally found what he was looking for.
When he brought it out, Jillian felt another hitch in her throat and tears in her eyes. The hormones kicking in again.
“Oh, my god,” she said, “it’s perfect.”
She took it from him, giving him a kiss on the cheek. Then she turned it in her hands, thinking how cute her baby boy would look wearing it.
It was a baseball cap.
A little red baseball cap.
