“But you will?”
“Yeah.For Karen.She deserves it for putting up with Bobby.”
Blair wades into the conversation from the sofa.“Remind me how you guys know this couple.”
“From college,” Rhodes says.“Karen was in one of our classes in freshman year.She’s a cool chick, but she’s always chosen assholes.I give this marriage a few years at the most.”
Sasha frowns.“Don’t wish that on them, babe.”
Rhodes looks down at his fiancée.“I’m not wishing anything on them.I just don’t think she’ll put up with him for long.”
“Are you taking the lovely Penelope to this wedding?”Blair asks Callan.“I saw that PDA photo of you two on Insta today.”
Callan scowls, which catches all my attention.He’s not generally a scowler.“No.”
Hisnocatches all of Blair’s attention and she leaves the sofa to join us.“So, who will be your plus-one now?”
“I’ll find someone.”
“Haven’t you got like a million weddings to attend this season?”she asks.
“He’s got nine,” I say.“It’s insane.”
Blair eyes me.“You’ve got a few, too, right?”
“Yeah.”I groan.“I dedicated a good hour all up today to narrowing down my candidates to ask to be my plus-one.And I’m still not convinced I want to ask any of them.”
“Who’s on the list?”Sasha asks.
I rattle off a list of five names to which Blair pulls a face and says, “Surely you’ve got better options than those guys.You should let me make this list for you.Straight off the top of my head, I’d say to ask William Bronson.”
“Fuck no,” Callan says without taking even a second to think about it.
Blair’s brows lift.“Oh?You’ve got feelings about him being Olivia’s plus-one?”
“He’s an asshole who can’t keep his hands to himself,” Callan says.
“Maybe Liv would enjoy those hands all over her,” Blair says.
Callan’s eyes bore into mine, an intensity blaring from them that I’ve never seen.“You wouldn’t.”
Whoa.
I guess his feelings about William Bronson are very strong feelings.I’m getting vibes like the ones he was throwing off when he got in that fight with Slade last year.
“Who do you suggest?”Sasha asks.
“None of the assholes on her current list,” he says.
“There weren’t many better options than that list.”I frown.“And none of them are assholes.”
“I’ve got ideas,” Blair says.
Callan gives her a look that says he doesn’t think her ideas would be any good and then looks at me.“I’ll come up with some names for you.”
Rhodes takes this moment to wade on in with a bomb of an idea.“Why don’t you two just be each other’s plus-one for the summer?It seems like a no brainer to me.”
“No, that would never work.”The words are out of my mouth before my brain even gets a minute with the idea.
