Rick and Giorgina exchange glances.
"What?" I snap.
Rick rolls his shoulders, then shakes out his arms. "You’re not going to like this."
"Spit it out, man."
"Giorgina and I spoke—"
I scoff. "For the first time, I suppose.”
He flushes a little, and when I glance at Giorgina, she looks away.
Apparently, they’ve spoken more than just about me. Hmm. The two of them definitely have the hots for each other. Again, not my concern.
"Go on," I jerk my chin in his direction.
"You need to speak with Solene," he finally murmurs.
"You think?"
"And ask her to—ah—"
"You need to ask her to get back in a relationship with you," Giorgina bursts out.
"What makes you think I haven’t asked?"
"A fake relationship."
I shake my head. "Hold on. I need to ask her to pretend we’re in a relationship?”
"Exactly so."
I squat down and tug on my hair. "You do realize the two of us have a checkered past when it comes to fake relationships? We met when I pretended to be engaged to her sister. Then I pretended to be engaged to someone else in order to make her hate me. And clearly, I succeeded all too well, for now she’s pretending to be in a relationship with someone else."
"But you’ve never faked being in love with each other," Giorgina points out.
I lower my hands. "That’s because I don’t need to pretend."
She stiffens. So does Rick.
"So, you’re finally admitting that—"
"I love her? Of course I do. Why the hell else would I turn my life upside down?"
Giorgina’s features soften. "Aww, that’s so sweet."
I wince. "Not the word I’d use in connection with me."
"Beneath all that bluster, you’re a softie. Unlike—" She stabs her thumb in Rick’s direction.
"Hold on, what do I have to do with this?"
"You provide an interesting benchmark, is all," she sniffs.
"I beg your pardon?" He scowls.
"Oh, my god, can you pull out that stick from up your ass and advise your friend?" she cries.
