“So you’ve taken a liking to Sally, huh?”
“Yeah. She seems like she would be a fun ride.”
“Oh, are you going to show us some tricks?”
“What do you mean?”
“Are you looking to gallop? Because if you’re looking to gallop, we have a stallion and actually I have an Arabian. He cost me a lot of money, but—”
“No, I’m not looking to gallop.”
“Oh, so you just want to canter?”
“No, I’m not looking to canter. I’m just looking to … go slowly. Trot, maybe.”
“But I would’ve thought someone with all your skills—”
“I don’t have any skills, Austin, okay? I was lying.”
“Yet another lie, Lucy.” He shook his head. “Do you ever tell the truth about anything?”
“Are you ever nice?” I retorted. “I just wanted to try and fit in, and yes, that was a mistake. I shouldn’t have lied, but—”
“But you couldn’t help yourself, could you?”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Just like you couldn’t help yourself from kissing me?”
“I didn’t kiss you. You kissed me.”
“Oh, yeah?” He took a step closer to me. “But you enjoyed it, didn’t you?”
“No, I didn’t.” I was about to poke him in the chest when my phone started ringing ago. I grabbed it gratefully and answered. “Hi, this is Lucy. Who’s this?”
“Lucy. It’s Mikey. We need to talk.”
I could feel the blood draining from my face at the sound of my ex-boyfriend’s voice. I wanted to talk to him even less than I wanted to talk to Austin.
“What do you want, Mikey?” I said.
“Where are you?” His voice was loud, and I was pretty sure that Austin could hear it him as well.
“That’s none of your business.”
“Yeah, it’s my business. Where are you?”
“It’s over. I already told you that, Mikey.”
“You don’t end things with me. I end things with you. Once you’re my girl, you’re always my girl until I say it’s over.”
“Well, I told you it’s over, and it’s over.”
“You can’t run from me. You know that, right, Lucy?”
“You don’t intimidate me, Mikey. Just because you’re in the mob, just because—”
“Oh, yeah? You think I don’t know how to—” He started shouting.
