I glance at the literal door. “Is that what you think I did? She’s the one that left me.”

“Lacey and I argued about this, a lot. My opinion is that it was your money and you weren’t engaged. If you wanted to buy this house, you had the right to do that. Lacey says that you were with Josie for two years and she was probably thinking marriage. When you bought the house she didn’t want, you basically told her ‘If you don’t like it, then go.’”

It annoys me. “I figured that eventually when we took that step, this house would be for us.”

“That she would live in a house she hated?”

“I don’t know that she hated the house, as much as my money going into it.”

He shrugs. “It’s your money but Lacey said she would have taken it as a sign that you didn’t think much of your relationship.”

I grind my teeth together and bite back an acid retort.

“She’s happy you two broke up. She thinks Josie is a bitch anyway, though she could see why she made the decision to break up with you. Now she’s sad that you didn’t end up with Kelsey.”

“Who took it harder, you or her? You were insisting pretty hard.”

“She was fucking riding me about that. I just wanted to go on double dates with a dude I can stand. You know what it’s like sitting through outings with the sad-sacs Kelsey normally dates?”

I laugh.

“New York had to go and snag you.”

Yeah, she did. And I welcome thoughts of Saona. I can’t wait to be snagged up in her again.
