“She gave an exasperated sigh, thinking it was Sam again. She looked at the screen, and she saw it was Vince instead. “Hey,” she said, and it was such a relief to talk to someone that she wanted to double over.
“Hi. Is this a bad time?” He sounded absolutely exhausted, his voice rough and craggy. “I could use a little female advice about something.”

She took a breath. “I c...an. It’s a little cottage I rented. Don’t worry, though, I’m not the kind of girl to cramp your style. I’m not going to start ringing you twelve times a day to see what you’re up to.”
“Yeah, I’ve noticed you’re the really needy type.”
His voice sounded so good. So good. And yet, just this moment she had so much crap in her head it would hardly be fair to lean on a man who had as much on his own plate.
Rescue me.
