Heart still racing, from the kiss and from the surge of annoyance at the way he laughed at me, I walked over to the bed, sat down, and took out my phone. I almost started crying when I saw that Olivia had texted me that she was now available to talk. I called her quickly. I needed to hear my best friend’s voice.
“Oh my gosh, Lucy, I was just about to call the police!” Olivia said as she answered the phone.
“Why?”
“Because I texted you 20 minutes ago and you haven’t responded.”
“Oh, sorry. I have been through so much in the last hour. You will not even believe it.”
“So tell me everything, girl. I am absolutely dying to hear.”
“Well, I’m at the house in my room.”
“Ooh, you’ve got your own room. Girl, this ranch is like a McMansion, a mansion ranch, if there’s such a thing.”
That made me smile a little. “It’s so big and so beautiful,” I said as I looked around my room. “I have my own queen-sized bed, and I’ve got a rocking chair in the corner and a TV, and when I look outside my window, I have a view of the mountains. The actual mountains.”
“Wow, that sounds absolutely amazing.” Olivia sounded impressed. “I mean, it’s not New York City, but it still sounds pretty cool.”
“You have to come and visit me … Well, at least if I’m still here.”
“So, tell me everything. Have you met your guy?”
“Oh, my gosh,” I groaned. “You don’t even want to know the half of it.”
“I do, Lucy. Now tell me everything!”
“Well, so I get here, right?”
“Uh-huh.”
“And I told you I went to the bar, right?”
“Yeah, you got the address at the bar.”
“Yeah. The part I didn’t tell you is about one of the guys at the bar.”
“Oh, boy …”
“What’d you mean, oh, boy?”
“I mean, why are you telling me about some random guy that you met at the bar?”
“Well, he kind of kissed me.”
“You kissed some random guy at the bar?”
“Yeah.”
“Oh please, God, don’t tell me that’s the dad? Please tell me you did not make out with the dad. Oh my gosh, this sounds like a telenovela.”
That got a laugh out of me. “No, Olivia, I didn’t make out with the dad. But it’s kind of almost as bad.”
“Oh gosh, don’t tell me you made out with the granddad?”
“Ew, no, of course I didn’t make out with the granddad. Who do you take me for?”
“I take you for a woman that left the city to go to Montana to marry a man she’s never met before in her life.”
