“Yeah, I guess it would be hard to leave this to go to a big city.”
“Do you miss New York?”
I thought about it. “Sometimes. It’s so vibrant, you know? The foods, the people, the music. Everything is this microcosm of beautiful diversity, and I just feel like I’m in a melting pot of the whole world.”
“I guess there’s not really much diversity here in Montana,” he replied. “But there’s some.”
“Yeah, I wouldn’t have guessed,” I laughed.
“Don’t let appearances deceive you, Lucy. Everything isn’t what you first think.”
“You should remember that as well,” I told him.
“And what’s that supposed to mean?”
“I mean, you think I’m like some bimbo liar because when you met me in the bar, I was kind of out of it, but—”
“I never said that. I never said that I think you’re a bimbo liar.”
“You didn’t have to say it. I can tell.”
“That’s not what I first thought about you when I met you at the bar.”
“It’s not?”
“No, it’s not.”
“What did you think?”
“I thought to myself, who is this stunning blonde and what is she doing in this bar and why have I never met her before?”
“You did not think that.”
“Scout’s honor.” He held three fingers up. “I surely did.”
“That must’ve been before I started talking, then,” I laughed.
“Maybe.”
“So when I started talking, what did you think?”
“At first?” he paused. “I thought, is this one of my brothers’ secret girlfriends?”
“Do your brothers have a lot of secret girlfriends?”
“Well, I wouldn’t know because they would be a secret,” he laughed.
“Okay. But then when I said I was going to meet my in-laws and that I was engaged to be married, what did you think?”
“I thought that you might’ve been …” He scratched his neck.
“What? You can say.”
“I thought that perhaps you might’ve been with the developers.”
“With the developers. What?”
“I thought perhaps it was like some sort of con to get into the house.”
