“We can’t all be perfect like me.”
“Perfect.” Fox rolled his eyes. “But now that he’s gone, what’s going on with Eli and Audrey?”
Wade glanced around the woods, like he expected someone to jump out any second. Honestly, Fox wasn’t convinced they wouldn’t. But he looked at Wade expectantly anyway.
“Audrey wants to stop filming.”
“Are you serious?”
Wade nodded.
“That’s great.” Though not entirely unexpected. Fox thought this might happen. “There’s already been so much drama, and we’re not even halfway through this crazy thing.”
“Yeah.” Wade scratched his beard. “It would be great, except the contract states that the production company gets to keep the footage they already have.”
“So what?”
Wade sighed. “Can you imagine how angry Bruce would be if we all just up and left? What do you think they’d do with what they have?”
Fox wasn’t sure, but Wade made an excellent point. Enough had happened in the last few days, that they could easily twist it into something juicy if they wanted.
“Not only that,” Wade said. “Audrey and Eli have already put a down-payment on a house.”
Another revelation Fox wished he’d known about sooner. “That might have been a little premature.”
Wade shrugged. “No kidding, but you know how it is.” He punched Fox on the shoulder and winked. “When you find the right one, you just gotta go for it.”
Like Wade was one to talk.
While Wade was a nice guy, he still wasn’t the kind of guy to settle down. Fox couldn’t remember a single time in the past ten years when Wade had had a serious girlfriend or long-term relationship.
Fox snorted. “Oh yeah? And what do you know about going for it?”
“You know I don’t kiss and tell.” A sly smile crossed his lips. “Actually, I think this is the perfect question for you though.”
Unease filled Fox’s veins. “What do you mean?”
“Don’t play dumb.” Wade shook his head. “Have you decided if you’re going to go for it with her?”
Fox didn’t need to ask whoherwas.Shewas hovering at the back of every thought Fox had had in the past twenty-four hours.
“You know that I can’t.”
Wade stepped over a small creek that was flowing down the incline of the mountain they were hiking up. “Sienna’s not worth it?”
Fox sighed. “She’s totally worth it. But I don’t know if she thinks it is.”
“But you’ve already said you think she is. So, what’s the problem?” Wade asked.
“You know, I could fall head over heels for her, bare my freaking soul to her, and then she could leave me to my self-destructive ways.”
“You’re describing what happened with Becky.”
“Yes, but I’m also describing what happened yesterday with Sienna.”
“You’re not having much luck with the ladies, are you?” Wade laughed.
Fox shot him a hard look.
