“He’s hot.”
“Yes, he is.”
“And Irish.”
“Yes. That’s correct.” Georgie closed her eyes so Leah could apply her eyeshadow.
“That’s all.”
“Are you feeling alright?” Georgie opened one eye to look at Mikayla.
Mikayla grinned at her. “I’m feeling fine, thanks for asking. But I’m sensing some shagging in the air.”
“Okay, that’s just weird.” Georgie shifted in the chair.
“I’m sensing it too,” Leah said as she looked at her eyeshadow palette.
“Jesus, don’t you start.”
“I’m also sensing it.”
Georgie rolled her eyes at Juniper. “Are you, Spartacus?”
“I’ve got no idea what you’re talking about,” Nora put in.
“Thank god, someone’s keeping sane.”
“But if there’s shagging, I want to hear about it.”
“Go, Mum!”
Georgie groaned but had to bite back a laugh. “You’re all crazy. It must be something in the water here.”
“I love shipping people. I love it when they hook up. I love weddings, and babies, and anniversaries. All of it.” Mikayla sighed. “I just love love.”
“Well, there’s nothing like that happening here, so don’t get your hopes up.” Georgie resolutely ignored the hitch in her heart at the very idea of any of that.
Mikayla sighed again. “But you are going to shag Doctor O’Hotstuff, aren’t you?”
“I think I will, yeah.” There was that hitching in her heart again. Part anxiety, part thrill. No wonder she felt so confused.
“And you’ll tell us about it?”
Georgie grinned at Mikayla. There was something about having a group of girlfriends interested in your personal life that made a girl feel good, she thought. She’d never had that. Ever. Having spent such a long time on her own, suffering and struggling, she’d developed a natural reticence that she had to work hard to overcome. “Probably.”
“Yesss!”
Once Leah completed everyone’s makeup, there wasn’t much else to do. “Okay, so I said I wanted a small hen’s night, but this is boring.”
“Well, excuse us!”
“You know it’s true, Junebug. Let’s go to the pub.”
“You serious?”
“Yeah, I am.”
“Rafe won’t mind?” Georgie asked. “Cramping his style on his buck’s night?”
