Opa
I wish I knew how to leave this chat.
Emmett
That’s all she said?
Riley
Oh good, you’re here now. Explain yourself.
Emmett
It was a coincidence. Parker and I just went out for a drink.
Parker
Totally. Very random. Not planned at all. It’s a small world and all that.
Oma
Emmett and Parker are the most prone to lying of the four of you, though. So…
Riley
See? Oma thinks you guys are full of shit. Now spill.
Emmett
Sorry. A gentleman never tells.
Evan
That doesn’t even make sense in this context.
Emmett
Okay, true. Let me try again.
Emmett
Riley, fuck off.
Oma
LOL.
Riley is giving the women riding lessons for a segment on the show, and she’s going to lord it over me for the rest of my life.
The amused glances she shoots my way are proof that I’m going to pay for this. I’m also going to get a lot of unsolicited opinions from her the minute we’re away from the cameras. Hell, maybe she can spill it all in the group chat again like she did this morning.
“Ugh,” Evelyn grumbles from atop her horse. The poor guy has put on the brakes and is refusing to move. And I don’t blamehim. I wouldn’t want to be charged with carrying Evelyn around either.
“Evelyn, just wait in the corner until I can help you out,” Riley calls to her, barely sparing her a glance. Because Evelyn was talking arealbig game during setup about how she used to ride.
I don’t know how long ago that was, but it appears as though it might have been in another lifetime.
“Catherine, that’sgreat. You’ve got such a nice feel. You know that?”
