“Hey, you’re the one who blindfolded me!” I shouted.
“It’s okay, Blake. I promise it will all be worth it. Now, you might as well close your eyes and take a nap. We’ve got a long drive.”
“A long drive? What in the hell is going on, y’all? Oh, come on. If Morgan is throwing me a surprise birthday party, I’m going to kill her.”
Nash hit me again.
“Dude! Stop hitting me. I can’t see it coming, and it fucking hurts!”
“If my sister wants to throw you a surprise party, you will be surprised. You will like it, and you will tell her how freaking amazing she is for doing it.”
I dropped my head back against the seat. “I hate parties.”
“It’s okay, Blake. It’s not a surprise birthday party. Besides, Morgan is at work.”
“I’m calling her!” I said, reaching into my pocket and pulling out my phone. “Hey, Siri, call Morgan’s work.”
Morgan had a landline at her office, so if she was there, she would answer.
“This is Morgan Barrett.”
I smiled. I couldn’t wait until the day she said Morgan Greene.
“Hey, princess. What are you doing?”
“Hey! Grabbing a quick bite to eat before my next patient comes in. I’m exhausted already. My last patient spent the entire two hours critiquing my paintings. I was ready to pull my hair out.”
“Sounds like fun.”
“What are you doing? Shouldn’t you be picking up Nash and Kaelynn?”
“I did. Nash is driving, and Kaelynn has blindfolded me.”
Morgan laughed, but when I didn’t join in, she stopped. “Wait. What do you mean?”
“You’re not behind this?”
“Me? Why in the world would I have Kaelynn blindfold you?”
“Surprise birthday party?”
There was silence on the other line. “I knew it! You are throwing me a surprise party. Morgan, I hate parties.”
“Um . . . when is your birthday? I thought it was in October.”
My mouth fell open. “You don’t even know when my birthday is? We are engaged! How do you not know when my birthday is?”
“Well, yes. I mean. Oh wait! It’s next week! June seventh!”
Sighing, I replied, “June fourteenth. It’s in two weeks.”
“Oh shit. I’m so sorry, Blake. I’m committing it to memory right now. Listen, I’ve got to go; my next patient is here. But I hope y’all have fun with whatever it is you’re doing! Just don’t let them miss their flight! I love you!”
“Wait! Morgan!”
The line went dead.
“Told you it wasn’t a surprise birthday party.”
