She slowly pushed the door closed. “You,” she said with a twinkle in her eye. Then, she pulled me into a hug. “What are you doing in my city?”
“Surprise!”
“You know I hate surprises.”
“To be fair, English was going to surprise you tonight when we went out.”
Katherine wrinkled her little nose. She was the most gorgeous person I’d ever known. If I hadn’t known that I was bi before I met her, then she surely would have made me realize it. Long, dark hair and endlessly dark eyes with pale skin and forever red lips. Despite her features, she was more Evil Queen than Snow White.
“I would have let you hold Beck, but he takes forever to go down. He’ll sleep for ages once he’s there though.”
“It’s okay. I’m moving back, so lots of little baby snuggles from now on.”
Her eyebrows rose. “Moving back? Since when?”
“Officially a few weeks ago. But today is my first day in the city.”
Katherine went straight to the wine fridge and popped a bottle of champagne. She poured each of us a glass and passed one to me. “To my Whitley returning home.”
I laughed and took a sip of the bubbly. “Thanks.”
“Who else have you seen? Just English? Lark?”
“English and … Gavin.”
Katherine shot me a mischievous look. “Indeed. Gavin King. This sounds familiar.”
“We ran into each other downstairs. I’m staying in the hotel, and he was here for a meeting.”
“Coincidental then,” she said with a conspiratorial smile on her red-painted lips.
“Don’t give me that look.”
“Why not? Should I not hope for my friends to be happy?”
“I don’t know. It’s complicated. Robert and I dated before and after Gavin and I got together. I tore their friendship apart.”
Katherine waved a hand. “That was years ago. Robert is happily dating Harmony.”
I jolted. I hadn’t heard that. “Harmony? Really? I thought they were just friends.”
“They were, but I gave them the push they needed, and now … voilà.”
“You’re such a little matchmaker,” I said with a laugh.
I had no feelings for Robert anymore. We’d been doomed long before I called it off at Christmas and hooked up with Gavin. Our fate was sealed when he found out at Fashion Week. But I’d never thought he’d end up with Harmony.
“So, let me give you a little push too,” Katherine said. She put her hand on mine. “Don’t make the mistake that I did with Camden.”
“What? Moon over someone else for so long that he thinks I hate him?”
Katherine rolled her eyes. “Let’s keep Penn Kensington out of this, why don’t we?”
I laughed. “Can we leave matchmaking to later then too? Until I’ve been in the city for more than a few hours? I don’t know what I want here, Katherine.”
“Fine. I’ll allow you to figure it out on your own, but I’m always here to give you good advice. As you did for me once. And look, I have two beautiful babies because of that advice.”
“Yes, thank god I told you to fuck your husband.”
