“I don’t know. What would I say?”
“Tell them that you got a crazy ex-boyfriend that’s harassing you and that’s another reason why he wanted to get out of the city.”
“Yeah, but will anyone believe that I have a crazy ex that’s in the mafia?”
“Girl, you’ll be okay. Just tell them, you might as well.”
“I don’t know. I already feel like the situation is out of hand. I don’t want them to think I’m a complete and utter psychopath.”
“Yeah, I guess you don’t want that. So do you think you’re going to go through with the wedding?”
“I don’t really think that’s up to me.”
“It’s a little bit up to you,” she pointed out with a laugh. “Are you attracted to this Beau?”
“I mean, he’s definitely very attractive.”
“Who’s better looking, Beau or Austin?”
“You can’t ask me a question like that. I mean, they’re brothers, they—”
“Tell me the truth. Who do you think is better looking?”
“I don’t know,” I whined. “I can’t answer that.”
But as I lay on the bed, eyes closed, it was Austin’s face I saw in my mind. Beau was definitely very attractive, maybe even more classically handsome than Austin. But there was something about Austin that I found so sexy—his dark hair, his twinkling mischievous green eyes. The way that he smiled at me, the way that he glared, the way that he kissed me. I could still feel the pressure of his lips against mine.
I had a little bit of a crush on Austin.
What a mess this was.
“Sounds to me like you don’t like the answer,” Olivia said softly.
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“It sounds like you kissed one brother, but you’re engaged to the other.”
“Stop saying I’m engaged. I’m not engaged to anyone. I don’t even know if Beau thinks I am attractive.”
“Girl, you know he thinks you’re attractive. You’re beautiful.”
“Thank you, Olivia. But I’m sure there are plenty of beautiful women here in Montana.”
Yeah, but not with your sass and vitality.”
“Oh my god, Olivia,” I started laughing. “Do not crack me up.”
“I just hope you’re okay,” she said. “You can call me at any time of the day and night, and I will do my best to pick up. You know that, right?”
“I miss you so much. I wish we could go for drinks or something.”
“I know, I miss you too. And Lucy?”
“Yeah, Olivia?”
“Just follow your heart. Do what you want to do.”
“I’ll try, I guess. It’s been so great speaking to you. You always make me feel better.”
