I laughed, feeling happy at his words.
He grinned. “There’s no way I would have let my brother have you.”
“Wouldn’t I have had a say in that?”
“You could have had a say, but all it would take is one kiss and there would’ve been no one else for you.”
I arched my eyebrows. “I don’t know about that. Chet’s mighty good-looking.”
“Keep your eyes off Chet,” he growled. “Trust me. If you think I’m a player, you ain’t seen nothing yet.”
“Well, I didn’t think you were a player, but I guess you’re telling me you are.”
“I’m really not. But Chet,? Oh boy. He’s the brother that had all the girls, and I mean all the girls. He even dated one of my girlfriends.”
“What? No way. He did?”
“Yeah.” He shook his head. “He’s a dog, like literally a dog. But I guess there’s always got to be one in every family.”
“Uh-oh. He looked like he was flirting with Arya. I hope that—”
“Oh, he wouldn’t do anything with her. Our mom would absolutely kill him. He doesn’t mess with sweet, innocent women, especially not ones that are taking care of kids.”
“Okay. Well, that’s good because I would hate to see her hurt. It looks like she’s got a lot going on in her life.” I bit my lower lip. “Actually, I’ve been thinking about that. I’m worried about her. What is she going to do next? She and Eloise can’t live in a car. They—”
“Don’t worry. You’re a sweetheart to worry, but I’ve got a plan.”
“Oh?”
“I figured I’ll help her get a job and set her up in an apartment or something.”
“Oh my gosh, Beau. You don’t have to do that. You don’t even know them.”
“I don’t, but she seems amazing. And little Eloise, well, we can’t just let her sleep in a car. Anything could happen to them.”
“So you’re going to take care of them?”
“I’m going to get them back on their feet. And once she gets a job, she can take over the rent.”
“I see why you need to make so much money.” I smiled at him. “You help so many people.”
“I try my best. There’s a saying that goes ‘To those that a lot has been given, they should also give.’”
“I don’t quite think that’s the exact saying.” I laughed. “But I know what you mean.”
“So, Olivia?”
“Yes, Beau?”
“What’s it like in New York, living there?”
“What do you mean?”
“When you’re in bed at night, can you look out your window and see the stars?”
“No,” I said softly. “When I look out my window, I see another window.”
“What?” he said.
