“Yeah, Olivia is my best friend. Okay, hold on, Olivia. I’m going to request a FaceTime with you.” I pulled my phone down and then pressed the button to call her on FaceTime. A second later, I was looking at her. “Hey, you.”
“Hey there, country mama,” she said with a laugh. “How’s it going?”
“Good. But you’re on speaker right now and I’m with Beau so he can hear everything that you’re saying,” I warned her just in case she wanted to ask me something crazy.
“Well, let me see him!”
“Olivia,” I glared at her.
“What?” she chuckled. “I want to see what this guy looks like.”
“It’s okay.” Beau stood next to me and then looked at the phone. “Hi,” he gave a huge wave. “I’m Beau Hamilton. Nice to meet you. You must be Olivia. Lucy’s said so much about you.”
Olivia’s jaw dropped as she stared at him. “Well, hi there, Beau. You’re a good-looking guy, aren’t you?”
He chuckled, and I tried not to cringe. This was so embarrassing.
“Well, you’re very beautiful yourself, Olivia.” He smiled at the phone. “I’m not sure anyone has ever been so forthright with me before.”
“What can I say?” she shrugged. “When I see a good-looking guy, I can’t help but tell him.”
“Well, thank you.”
“Well, you’re absolutely gorgeous. Lucy?”
“Yes, Olivia.”
“You need to marry that man as soon as possible,” she giggled. I groaned out loud then, and then Beau just shook his head.
“So, are you going to come out to Montana to visit anytime soon?” Beau asked.
“I hope so,” Olivia nodded enthusiastically. “I really hope so.”
“Well, we’re about to go riding now,” I chimed in.
“Let me see the horses!” Olivia’s voice was excited. “I’ve never seen horses in real life.”
“Oh my gosh, don’t exaggerate. You’ve seen horses before.”
“Nuh-uh. Only when I watched Black Beauty and that was an old ass movie, so I don’t even know if they really look like that.”
“Really, Olivia?”
“You can show her the horses. That’s okay. We’ve got time,” Beau said. “Why don’t you show her Sally?”
“Ooh, who’s Sally?” Olivia said.
“Sally’s this horse that’s taken a liking to Lucy,” Beau continued the conversation with her and I almost felt like a third wheel.
“Oh, let me see Sally, Lucy.”
“Okay, hold on.” I flipped the camera around and pointed it at the horse to the right.
“Wow, she’s beautiful,” Olivia sighed. “Man, you’re so lucky, Lucy.”
“What do you mean?” I flipped the phone back to look at her.
“You’re having this awesome experience in this new place and I’m just stuck here in the city, working at this horrible store and …” She paused. “Anyway, I’m not going to complain. My life’s okay.”
