“Well, it’s a funny story. You remember that guy from college?”
“I do. You said you hated his guts and wanted him to get boils on his perfect ass.”
“Hey! Stop poking me, dammit! I promise you, I don’t want boils on your ass now!”
I choke on a laugh. “I take it that’s him.”
“Yeah. We’re moving in together.”
I whistle. “That was fast! Are you sure about this?”
“Stop that!” She growls. “Yes. Even though he’s currently being a pain in my ass, I am sure. I love the damn idiot.”
“I’m really happy for you.” I am. Even if I am a little jealous. I’ve never even had a real date. They’ve all been studio set-ups. To promote a movie or something. My social life is non-existent.
“I know you are. I really wish you could be as happy as me, Aster. As a matter of fact, Jameson has a younger brother. He’s a couple of years younger than you but I think you two would hit it off really well. You’ve got a lot in common.”
I snort. “I don’t think so. There is no way in hell I’m gonna let anybody else fix me up. I’ve had enough of those disasters.”
“I’m not just anybody. I’m your bestie. The woman who knows you better than anybody.”
“Uh-huh. Still…I don’t want to be fixed up. I just want some peace and quiet.”
“Fine,” she huffs. “Kill my dreams of being my sister in law.”
“You’ll survive.”
“When do you want to come see this place?”
“Have you seen all of it?”
“I have.”
“And you think it’s a good deal?”
“I do. It’s gonna be spectacular. Max has some great ideas.”
“I don’t want anyone else to decide how to decorate it. I’ve never had free rein on my own property. I want to make it mine.”
“Okay. I’ll let Max know.”
“Do you know anyone that can do the deal for me? I want to buy the place?”
“Sight unseen?”
“I trust you.”
“Okay, Aster. I’ll have Jameson get in touch with the realtor and we’ll get this thing rolling.”
“Sounds good. And Fern?”
“Yeah?”
“Thank you for helping me figure this out. I kinda didn’t really know what I wanted to do. I’m not used to making my own decisions.”
“Well, now’s the time to spread your wings! You got this. I’ll talk to you later!”
“Yeah. I can’t wait to see you!”
