“We’ll start there.”
“Sounds like a plan.”
“I saved some goodies for you,”Millie informs me as I walk up to the counter at the coffee shop.“I know the kids love the cookies, and I grabbed you the last orange-cranberry muffin.”
“You’re the best,” I reply with a grin as I accept the bag of sugared treats from her.“I’m also going to need an iced latte.”
“Sure.You never drink coffee this late in the day.”Millie frowns at me as she gets the espresso ready.“What’s up?”
“My dad showed up at the ranch today.”
Her eyebrows climb.“Like, from Seattle?”
“Yeah, and he had words with Remington, and I’m not sure what those words were because it was private.But that’s not the worst of it, and I need you tonotget mad at me right now, okay?”
“I’m super confused,” she admits as she shakes my iced latte and sets it on the counter for me.“Why would I get mad that your dad showed up at the ranch?”
“Because my dad is Will Montgomery, the football player.”
Millie frowns.“I don’t watch football.”
That makes me laugh, and for some reason, it puts me at ease.“He’s famous.A lot of my family is famous.”
“Okay.”
“And you don’t care.”
“Not really, no.Wait, did Rem give you shit?”
“Well, yeah, and I get it.I mean, I’m around his kids a lot, and?—”
“And that has nothing to do with whether or not your dad is famous.Jesus, I’m gonna have to tell Rem to get a fucking life.”
“No, it was fine.Really.Because, um?—”
“Okay, just say it.”
“Fine, but I’m going to need you to hold your ick factor here.I want to jump his bones.”
“Remington’s?”
“Ofcourse, Remington’s.”
“Why?”She scowls as if she’s totally unaware that her oldest brother is fucking hot as hell.
“Well, he’s hot, Millie.And there’s chemistry between us that issmoking.Like, I’m surprised that the smoke alarms don’t go off just from the way he looks at me.”
“Ew.But okay.Just, maybe not when the kids are awake, you know?”
“Gross.Ofcoursenot, Millie.In fact, I’ve been holding back a lot because of the kids.They live there, and they’re young, and it’s not appropriate?—”
“It’s not like you’re the nanny, and he’s having anaffairwith you while his wife is asleep upstairs.That’s way different.Sure, be discreet around the kids, but I say do what makes you both happy.Rem hasn’t beenhappyin a long damn time.If you’re what does that for him, great.But maybe I’ll see if the kids want to stay at my place tonight.”
“Really?”
“Sure, we haven’t had a sleepover in a while.We can watch movies and pop some popcorn.I’ll text Rem and tell him that I’m grabbing them from school.”
“You don’t have to do that.”
