‘I’m sorry,’ she said, still chuckling. ‘So, there are two ways to look at this, right. Firstly, he’s an absolute scumbag for taking your phone number when he’s not single.’
‘Or?’
‘Or he’s just a guy who was dating the wrong woman when he happened to meet the right one.’
‘But?’
‘But either way, you cannot do anything about it until he breaks it off with her, because then that would definitely makebothof you scumbags.’
‘You’re right.’
‘I know. Listen, I need to go, this dog is driving me nuts, but let me know what happens.’
‘I will. Speak soon.’ Alex hung up and flopped back on to the bed, her sister’s words going round in her head.
You cannot do anything about it until he breaks it off.
Her heart sank. Even if Aiden did break it off with Tara, there was no way she’d just let Alex have him. There was more chance of Romeo willingly handing his tennis ball over to Mercutio. She realised that there was no world in which dating Aiden would ever be acceptable.
