bus　lurched　over　another　bump　as　it　roared

across　the　park　and　Jenny？s　boobs　bounced　mercilessly；　as　if　she　hadn？t　been　through　enough。

？Here。？　A　hand　gripped　her　arm。

？Fuck　off；？　Jenny　mumbled　in　total　humiliation。　She　batted　the　hand　away　and　struggled　to　her

feet。　A　blond　head　loomed　above　her。　Tall。　Nice　nose。　Hazel　eyes　with　blond…tipped　lashes。　It

washim　？the　Bendel？s　boy！

？Are　you　all　right？？　he　asked。　？There？s　an　empty　seat　back　here。　Why　don？t　you　sit　down？？　He

took　her　hand　and　pushed　backward　through　the　crowd。

Jenny　slid　into　the　hard；　narrow　seat　and　looked　up　at　the　boy；　her　heart　pounding。　He　looked　to

Leo　smiled　his　adorable　chip…toothed　smile　at　her　as　if　to　say　that　any　friend　of　Jenny？s　was　a

friend　of　his。　Jenny？s　first　instinct　was　to　snarl　at　Elise　to　buzz　off　so　she　and　Leo　could　get

acquainted　in　peace。　But　she　didn？t　want　Leo　to　think　she　was　a　total　bitch。　The　man　seated　next

to　her　stood　up　and　Jenny　patted　the　seat。　？Sit　down。？

Elise　let　go　of　the　handrail　and　plunked　herself　down　in　the　seat。　？Hey；？　she　said；　looking　up　at

Leo。　She　clacked　her　knee　against　Jenny？s　leg　when　she　recognized　him。　？He
