“Yeah, but Amelia.”
“What about Amelia?”
“She really wants me to be with Beau. She even told Ranger that she thinks we’re made for each other, and I don’t want to break her heart. She’s the one that brought me here. She’s the—”
“She’s not going to be mad at you! Are you silly?”
“I’m not silly, and I know that you might not understand, but I feel like I’m letting her down. I feel like—”
“Oh, Lucy, you just need to tell her how you feel.”
“I mean, I guess that’s true. Maybe I’ll tell her later.”
“I think you should. You and Austin need to have a serious talk, and—”
I put my hand up and stopped her. “Can I ask you something, Olivia?”
“Sure.”
“Do you like Beau?”
Her face immediately went red. “What?”
“Do you like Beau?”
“I mean, he’s attractive, of course. I agree that he’s a nice guy—”
“I mean, do you like him like him? Because I’ve noticed ever since we picked you up at the airport, you have spent more time with him than I have, and he’s flirting with you and asks you questions and showing interest, and he never did that with me.”
“What? What are you talking about? Of course he does. He asks you questions.”
“He asks me random questions, but he doesn’t even really listen. Not like he listens to you. And then I know this sounds crazy, but do you want to try and see if you could date him?”
“Who, Beau?”
“Yeah.”
“Oh, he wouldn’t be interested in me. He’s probably only trying to win me over because I’m your best friend, and how better to get to know someone than being really good friends with the best friend?”
“I don’t think so. He’s not even trying to get to know me that well.”
“You really think he might think I’m cute?” There was a note of hopefulness in her voice.
“He probably thinks you’re gorgeous because you are.”
“It’s crazy, us, huh? Both being here in Montana, falling for two brothers.”
“I know. Who would have thought us, two hot city girls, would even get to Montana, let alone think about staying. I never would’ve pictured us as country Western girls.”
“Me either,” she shook her head. “But maybe that’s why it’s so wonderful, because it’s something we never would have planned.”
“Yeah, that’s true,” I said. “You excited to go kayaking and fishing?”
“I really am.” Olivia nodded, her eyes big and beautiful. She had a happy smile on her face, and I recognized the calm in her because it was the same calmness I felt in myself.
“This is a beautiful place, isn’t it, Olivia?”
“Yeah, it is. And you know what, Lucy?”
