“You’re my best friend.”
“You’re my best friend, too. And Sadie and Arya, we might be new friends, but you’re two of the best women I’ve ever met in my life, and I’m proud to call you my friends as well.”
“Thank you, Olivia.” Sadie beamed at me.
“I’ve loved meeting you all,” Arya added. “I don’t know where I’d be without you.”
“Okay, guys, let’s not have a cry fest,” I said. “Shoo. I’ll talk to you later.”
I headed to my bedroom. I needed to be by myself. I needed to let it all out because my heart was breaking. I couldn’t believe that Beau hadn’t been man enough to come and tell me himself. He’d sent Brittany, who seemed like an absolutely horrible person. Even if he wasn’t with me, Beau could do better than her.
As horrible as she was, there was no denying she was beautiful. I guess for some men, that was all that mattered.
I opened my suitcase and started flinging my clothes into it, then gave up, falling on top of the clothes and sobbing into them. This was going to be so hard— leaving my new friends, my new family, and the man I had fallen for.
Because I knew one hundred percent that I had fallen in love with Beau Hamilton with all my heart.
Chapter Fifty-Six
Beau
“Well, I’m absolutely exhausted,” I said to a very tired Wyatt and Chet as we walked back into the house. It was almost midnight. We’d been gone all day. Tony had lost a couple of fingers, and he hadn’t been the only one who’d been injured. It had been a shit show out there. I didn’t even know what to think, but we were going to have to hire some new foreman and ranch hands.
“I’m just glad that everyone’s alive,” Chet said, shaking his head. “It sucks that we missed the barbecue.”
“Yep.” Wyatt yawned. “What a day. I’m glad we were able to be there with you, big brother. You shouldn’t have to handle something like that yourself.”
I managed a chuckle. “Well, sounds like the youngest is trying to make me feel all sappy and sentimental.”
“Why do you always call me the youngest?” Wyatt said. “I’m an adult, you know.”
“You might be an adult, but you’re still the youngest. So you’ll always be our baby brother.” I grabbed his ear and pulled.
“Knock it off, Beau!” he grumbled. “I’m not a little kid, and you’re not Mom or Dad, so you can’t get away with it.”
“I’m almost like your dad,” I said, chuckling. But I sobered up quickly, thinking that if Dad did pass, I would be in charge once and for all.
“I’m going to bed,” Wyatt said. “I’ve been texting Sadie all night as we drove back, and she hasn’t responded to me. I’m guessing she’s mad or something.”
“Maybe you should apologize with some flowers,” I said.
“Eh, I don’t want her head to get too big.”
“What does that mean?”
“I mean, if I compliment her and give her flowers and stuff, she’s going to think she’s the belle of the ball or something.”
“Wyatt, are you freaking kidding me right now?”
“What?” He looked at me with a confused expression. “I’m just saying, you know how girls are.”
“I know how women are. And obviously you don’t,” I said.
“You’re going to lose her, man,” Chet said. “You’re a fricking idiot.”
“We’ve been best friends forever. That’s never going to change.”
“You don’t think that when she gets married, her husband is going to be her best friend?” Chet said.
