What’s not sexy is the way I devour the thing, licking the dripping cheese from my fingers.
Elisse looks at me with far too much satisfaction. “Good, right?”
I shrug and take a napkin from Marilee’s plate. “It was okay.”
Marilee just laughs, and then her face brightens. “Oh, hey. I was talking to April, and she mentioned that you were sleeping on the couch. Do you need a place to stay?”
“Yeah, I’m thinking it’s time to move out. I just haven’t had a chance to look yet. Why?”
“Sarah and Mandy are moving out next month,” she says. Marilee still lives in her three-bedroom childhood home, but she rents the other two rooms to a pair of sisters who came last summer for jobs at Jordan’s adventure tours company and never left. “They decided to get an apartment together. Wanna be my roomie?”
“Wait, are you serious?” I jump up and down. “So we could like, actually live together?” We always dreamed of that. But then she and Donny got married pretty much right out of high school and we never had the chance.
“We could indeed. If you want to.”
“Of course, I do.” I sling an arm around her shoulder. “I can’t imagine anything better than living with my best friend.”
Other than her terrible brother, there’s not a thing about Marilee Moffitt that I dislike. As long as he stays far, far away, this is going to be—as my new friend Chloe would say—completely brilliant.
