I shook my head.
“That woman basically predicted that Remy would be left at the altar.”
My jaw practically unhinged itself. “What?”
How in the hell was I just hearing about this now?
“You cannot tell our brothers that I told you about this,” he said and pointed a stern finger in my direction. “I’m serious, Win. This was supposed to never be talked about again.”
“I swear. I won’t say anything.” I raised both hands in the air. “But you have to give me more info here… I mean…Jude, don’t leave me hanging here…”
“There isn’t much info to give,” he answered on a shrug. “The fortune-teller was right about Remy’s wedding not happening, but everything else she said hasn’t come true.”
“What else did she say?”
“I don’t know, Win. It was thirteen years ago.”
I stared at him and quirked a refuting brow. “Yet you remember that she was right about Remy?”
“Well, yeah, that was hard to fucking forget.”
“So, like, was she predicting your future…?”
“Yeah, I guess you could say that,” he answered and took a drink from his bottle of beer, but that was all he said.
Sheesh.Sometimes, it felt like pulling teeth to get my brothers to tell me anything.
“Okayyy…so, did she say you were going to stay single your whole life?” I asked, trying to put the puzzle pieces together with what little information he had given me.
“Actually,” he answered with a shrug, “no. Not exactly. But she said a bet was going to change my life.”
“A bet?” I giggled. “Sounds about right for you.”
“I know.” He smirked. “Honestly, it’s crazy that all those years ago, we really thought something was going to happen because of what that fortune teller told us.”
“Maybe it just hasn’t happened yet, but it’s going to happen? Like, what if you haven’t met the woman who makes you want to give love and relationships a try, but you’re going to…eventually?”
“Give it up, sis.” Jude rolled his eyes. “Nothing like that is going to happen for me.”
“But it happened for me.”
“You met the woman of your dreams?” he teased. “Does Wes know?”
“Smartass.” I punched him in the arm. “I met Wes, but before him? I pretty much had the same mind-set as you.”
“Is that right?”
I nodded.
“Well, it goes without saying, but I’m very happy for you, Win.”
Hope started to bloom in my chest.
“Thanks, Jude.”
Unfortunately, though, my brother was quick to squash it.
“But I can assure you, relationships and marriage and kids aren’t in the cards for me. I’m more of a lone wolf kind of guy.”
