Chapter Twenty-One
Declan
Then
Ipull the snowmobileup to the cabin. Will’s is already parked out front. I thought he was planning to stay out longer. As I’m pulling off my helmet, Keene and Juno stumble out onto the porch.
“You’ll never guess what’s happened,” Juno says. She and Keene are stumbling all over each other, apparently trying to get to me first.
“I’m sure I won’t. What’s happened?”
“You know that girl who used to work for Will who made all those crazy videos?” Juno says so fast I can barely follow.
“The one that kept handcuffing herself to him?” Keene adds.
I frown. “Olivia?”
Sometime after I stopped trying to date Olivia, Will had secretly started seeing her, but Juno and Keene don’t know that.
“She crashed her car into the ditch out front,” Keene says.
“She’s here!” Juno adds.
“Crashed her car? Is she okay?’ I say, racing up the stairs.
I don’t wait for an answer and hurry inside. Olivia is sitting on the couch, looking pretty banged up.And wearing Will’s shirt?
“I was out on the snowmobile. Keene just told me what happened.” I stand in front of her. “Olivia, are you okay?”
“I’m fine. Thank you.”
Will sits down beside Olivia. He leans forward and examines her stitches. I guess they had James’s doctor take care of her. The President always travels with a doctor.
“They look good. I don’t think you’ll have a scar,” he says. She’s staring at him with such longing that I get the message loud and clear.
I quietly exit the room – along with everyone else to give them some privacy.
“What the hell is happening?” Eli says. “Are they together?”
“They look like they are together,” Brooklyn says.
“She’s wearing his shirt,” Juno points out.
They turn and look at me. I’m not filling in any gaps. I just shrug. “Your guess is as good as mine.”
“Bullshit,” Eli says. “You went out with Olivia three times. I know you know more than you’re saying.”
“You went out with her?” Brooklyn says.
“Three times?” Juno adds.
I scan the room. Maggie is sitting on the other side just staring at me. I know she can hear every word.
I shake my head. “It’s not a big deal.”
“It’s not a big deal? Is that why you and Will were fighting at the White House?”
