My brain rewarded me with:Good luck getting any sleep tonight with her in the same tent.
Chapter Four
JULIETTE
Iwas grateful Griffin was driving. If I’d been behind the wheel, we would’ve ended up in a ditch already. No matter how many times I told myself to stop, my eyes kept drifting over to him. His perfect lips. The way his thumbs tapped the steering wheel to match the rhythm of the radio. How his thick hair was cut into a slick, textured crop. His muscled forearms. That insanely hot five o’clock shadow. He was so… technicolor. So alive. It was as if all the men in the world had suddenly become desaturated except him.
Andhe was saving himself for his wife?
The man was a complete anomaly. I shook my head, still in disbelief.
My phone vibrated in my lap, and I flipped it over.
Fallon
I can’t believe you’re going to Zion with him. Aside from the fact that he might Ted Bundy you, he is so HOT. You’re going to have the most beautiful red-haired babies. If you make it back alive.
Fallon
I’ll cover for you in exchange for pics. Please let me live vicariously through you.
I had no idea what lie Fallon would tell Cecil when I didn’t show up for my meeting tomorrow, but she’d think of something.
Juliette
I’ll see what I can do.
Fallon
It sucks that you have to take my phone whenever you leave town and that you can’t be upfront with Cecil about going to Zion with Griffin. I hate that he’s so much harder on you than the rest of us.
Juliette
It’s just part of being the Sunburst.
Just doing my part to drop breadcrumbs of doubt so that maybe she’d rethink her career ambitions.
Juliette
But yeah…
Juliette
Thanks for trading phones with me.
Fallon
Of course.
Juliette
I’ll definitely bring you a souvenir back, and I’ll see what I can do about getting youthat pic. Love you!
Fallon
Love you! Be safe! I can’t wait to hear every juicy detail.
As Griffin checked the time on his smartwatch, he scowled slightly.
