I straightened. “What?”
“I figured it out.”
Words poured out of her about Brandi. The paint on her hands and how it matched the paint on the window. The comments about being fat and the way she’d looked at Josie.
The way it all clicked.
I listened.
And...yeah.
Fuck.
That made sense.
“Are you sure?” I asked.
“I’m positive.”
I rubbed my jaw and looked at Bruce who was staring at me and trying very hard not to shit his pants. “You really married this guy, baby?”
Bruce looked offended.
Josie groaned. “I told you what happened, Rome.”
“Yeah.” I shook my head. “You fucking settled for sure.”
Cash barked out a laugh.
Bruce looked like I’d shot him.
“I gotta go, baby.”
“Don’t get in trouble, Rome.”
I grinned.
“I know you’ll bail me out, babe.” I didn’t think it was possible, but Bruce paled ever more.
“Rome.” I could hear her rolling her eyes. “I don’t want to visit you in jail.”
“I’ll behave.”
“You better.”
“Maybe,” I added softly.
“ROME.”
I laughed. “See you soon, baby.”
I hung up and slipped my phone back into my pocket.
Everybody stared at me.
Cash grinned.
“Everything good?”
