“I guess. I have to go talk to her. I don’t know how long it will take, so meeting dismissed, I guess,” she said. The meeting thing was new since they used to all just live together. Now half of them were gone, and there were meetings—mostly spur-of-the-moment meetings at that.
Deciding she wasn’t going to change for this, Buzz grabbed her coat and walked out of the house in pink sweats and a matching “Buzzzz” T-shirt. Or she would have believed they matched if Agatha hadn’t pointed out earlier in the day that they didn’t.
Across town, she checked the address again to make sure that the big house in front of her was the one she was looking for. Not that she had wondered where she was meeting the girl when she had left the house. Getting out of the Jeep, she walked up to the front door and rang the bell, hoping that she had the right place.
“Buzz, you came!” Louisa said and opened the door. Buzz was surprised at how much she liked the modern aesthetics of the house.
“You asked, so sisters come,” Buzz said and shrugged off her jacket. “How are you doing?”
“Okay, it seems just weird that Dad would do this. I wasn’t surprised with Mom since she’d walked away from you five. So why not me too? But Dad? I always thought Dad would be there for me.”
“I understand. I never thought George would do something like that,” Buzz said. “What are you going to do now? Where’s Frankie?” Buzz looking around but didn’t see the other woman.
“I’m looking at going to school in the fall, but I don’t know where. Frankie isn’t sticking around Chicago, and she’s graduating. So, I have to start planning something,” Louisa sighed.
“There is always room at the Lovely house if you need a place to stay. Frankie too. The more, the merrier, and you’ll each get your own room,” Buzz added, but she was in no way living with more people than beds again. Couch surfing got old fast.
“We’ll talk about it. I just don’t know what I want to do at this point. I feel lost,” Louisa said, and she seemed like it.
“I know the feeling. I’m lost as well,” Buzz admitted, even if she hated to. She was completely lost.
“But you have Jonas, so you’ll be okay.” Louisa patted her back.
“Uhm, that’s over now. Didn’t he tell you? We’ve been over since I last saw you,” Buzz said, not mentioning the baby, though Louisa would find out sooner or later since she was related to both of them.
“He didn’t,” Louisa answered. “He said something completely different, in fact.”
With that, Louisa got up and stomped into the kitchen and started talking low to someone. Buzz had no idea whose house they were in, but it must be some sort of friend of Louisa’s. It was probably the homeowner; this was no rental. Or at least not a rental a nineteen-year-old could afford.
Following the younger woman into the kitchen, her steps faltered when she saw Jonas talking to his sister. He was in jeans and a T-shirt that made his muscles pop. Damn him and his muscly good looks. Even after everything that had happened, they were mouthwatering.
Buzz immediately took a step back, sensing a trap. Louisa had been in on it, but she hadn’t known the real reason Jonas had asked her to help him. Hell, Buzz didn’t know the reason.
She made it to her Jeep without him catching her. She had been willing to fight her way out, and she was very skilled at fighting after being raised in the Lovely house.
As she drove home, she let the tears fall. He had no right to do that, to use his sister to get to her. Louisa didn’t deserve that.
No matter the reason he wanted her there.
