“Really? You’re going to lie to your best friend? I saw you both go into your bedroom.”
“You what?” My jaw dropped.
“Yeah. I was coming to talk to you, and I saw you both slipping in, so I changed my mind.”
I groaned as we reached my bedroom.
“So are you going to tell me?”
“Come in here, quickly,” I said, closing the door behind us. “Oh my gosh, Lucy. You will not believe what happened!”
“I think I might believe it,” she laughed. “But please do tell me.”
“Beau and I made love last night.”
“No way! I thought the most you guys would’ve done was oral or something.” She laughed at the look on my face. “What? I didn’t think you’d go all the way.”
“Yeah, well, we did. And it was amazing. Like, the best sex I’ve ever had in my life amazing.”
“Yeah, I can see that. Austin’s the best sex that I’ve ever had, too.”
“But he’s your fiancé.”
“He wasn’t always my fiancé. So does that mean you guys are dating? Can I expect you to move to Montana?”
“No.” I sighed. “He’s not even looking for a relationship, because he thinks it’s going to complicate everything.”
“Complicate what? Arya isn’t his ex-girlfriend. Eloise isn’t his kid.”
“Yeah. But he’s in charge of running Horseshoe Ranch, and he has all his brothers.”
Lucy looked bewildered. “I know Austin does a lot for the ranch as well.”
“But does Austin feel the same pressure that Beau does?”
“I don’t know.” She shrugged. “Maybe not. Beau is the oldest.”
“Yeah, and I guess they’re not doing as well as they would like.”
“Oh, no. Are they in trouble?” Lucy’s eyes widened. “Austin’s never said anything. I know he mentioned them expanding or something.”
“I don’t think they’re in dire straits, but I guess they could be doing better,” I told her. “I don’t really know the ins and outs of it. It’s not like he’s given me all their bank account details.”
“I know.” She made a face. “So he doesn’t want to get into a relationship, because he’s running the ranch. Is that what you’re saying?”
“Yeah. That’s essentially it.”
“Oh, men.” She shook her head. “That’s so frustrating.”
“It is and it isn’t. I live in New Yor; it’s not like I could get into a relationship anyway.”
“Well, you never know,” Lucy said. “Oh my gosh, it would be absolutely amazing if you came to live in Montana as well. Could you believe it? Us two New York City girls in Montana?”
“No, I couldn’t even imagine it. Montana would not know what hit it.”
“Well, I think it would be cool.”
“Don’t get your hopes up, Lucy. I don’t think it’s going anywhere. But maybe tonight at the bar, I’ll meet someone who is looking for a relationship, and I can stay and be with him.”
