“Wow. No sugarcoating, huh?”
She shrugged. “I can’t help it. It’s in my nature.”
“It’s why you’re one of the best businesswomen in the world.”
“You’re trying to butter me up. This is bad.”
“You could say that.”
“Paige, you’re keeping me in suspense here. I could go into labor.”
I chuckled. “You’re still a few months away.”
“I know but do it for the baby.”
“Does that card work on Tristian?”
“Every time.”
We laughed.
“Fine. I’ll confess, but before I get into any of that, you have to promise you’re not going to get mad?”
“I don’t like this introduction.”
“I know, but it’s all I got.”
“Okay.” She reluctantly sighed. “I promise.”
“I’m just going to come right out and say it.”
“You’re scaring me. Are you in trouble?”
“Well… I sort of have a stalker.”
“You what?” she shouted a little too loudly.
“Shhh! I think they heard you across town.”
“You have a stalker?!”
I grabbed her hands. “Keep your voice down!”
“Paige, what the fuck?”
“I know. I know. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner, but I didn’t want you to worry about me. You had so much of your own drama going on with Tristian. You didn’t have to take mine on too.”
She stared at me, flabbergasted. “That’s what best friends do.”
“Don’t make me feel worse than I already do, Belle.”
“How long has this been going on?”
“Umm…”
“Paige,” she sternly stressed. “How long?”
“Over a year.”
