“When was the first time?”
“How was he?”
“Are you going to start staying the night over there?”
“I thought I heardnoisescoming from his chalet last night.”
“Are you guys, like, a thing? Or are you just fooling around?”
Finally, I had enough of the inquisition. I was a pretty private person most of the time, and since my siblings all lived so far away, they only found out if I was dating someone if it got really serious. Which, it almost never did.
In the past fifteen years, I think I had introduced them to two boyfriends. This was an odd situation, for sure, but I wasn’t positive I wanted them knowing all of my business. I was just glad I would be able to get rid of them once Owen and I were back in New York.
I was tryingto relax in the hot tub that evening, but Sierra was making it difficult. She still had endless questions, and I just wanted a few minutes of peace and quiet. Apparently, that was not going to happen.
“I just never thought the two of you would end up together. I mean, he was totally in love with you as a kid, everyone knew that.”
“Sierra, we have not ‘ended up together.’ We’re just seeing how things go. We’re taking it slow.”
“Not according to Owen.”
“What do you mean?”
“He declared his love for you in front of everyone. That seems pretty serious to me.”
“He’s just a passionate guy.”
“Is he passionate in bed?”
“I’m not answering that.”
“So youhaveslept together. I knew it. I mean, that smile of his…how could you resist?”
“I’m sorry, aren’t you married?”
“What? Just because I’m married doesn’t mean I can’t admire a handsome man.”
He really was handsome. His smile was definitely impossible to resist, but I didn’t want to give her the satisfaction of agreeing.
“Sierra, I don’t really want to talk about it anymore.”
“Just one more question.”
“What?” I asked with a sigh.
“Are you going to move in with him? He’s, like, super rich. I’m sure he has an incredible place.”
“Yeah, I’m sure he does.”
“So, you’re going to move in.”
“I don’t—no—I mean—I don’t know. We haven’t talked about it.”
“You haven’t talked about it? Are you serious? He’s in love with you and he hasn’t asked you to move in?”
“We hadn’t spoken in twenty years until, like, a week and a half ago. We need some more time to get to know each other.”
“You know each other. You were best friends.”
