I clearly needed it for this.

“She’s going to love it!” called out Ari.

“True love hurts, Walk,” added Lincoln as he watched the weather report on the tv on the wall like it was the most fascinating thing he’d ever seen.

That may have been the truest thing I’d ever heard.

The buzz of the tattoo gun filled the air…and that’s about when I blacked out.

CHAPTER 10

WALKER

Fuck, my dick hurt.

And so did my back.

Why exactly had they decided I should get a butterfly tattoo too?

Wasn’t the piercing enough?

My phone buzzed and I winced, adjusting the ice on my cock as I answered the phone. Three days later and my dickstillfelt like it might fall off.

“She’s going to a wedding in Dallas,” Jeff said without preamble as soon as I’d picked up. He sounded very proud of himself.

“What?” I asked, completely shocked by the news. I was beginning to think I was going to have to pose as a therapist to ever be able to see her again since she never left her apartment.

“Yep. Her cousin Harley’s wedding. The cousin from Seattle.”

Like I had forgotten that.

“She’s in the wedding. It’s completely top secret that she’s going to be there."

“How did you find out?” I asked, thinking it was creepy—and useful—how these P.I.s could get access to this kind of information.

“This one kind of fell in my lap. Her mom and that agent of hers were discussing it at The Ivy last night. I just happened to be in the booth behind them.”

“Just happened to be?”

“You’re going to get a huge bill,” he said, and I could hear the smile in his voice. “But before you go into sticker shock…check the links I just sent you.”

The links were internet articles and I immediately clicked the first one.

Olivia Darling’s Return?

The headline blared at me as I scanned the article speculating that Olivia would be performing for the first time in years in Dallas.

"In a surprising turn of events, it seems that the elusive Olivia Darling is set to grace her hometown of Dallas with a secret performance. An insider from Olivia's camp has confirmed that the highly anticipated show is indeed in the works. While details remain top secret, fans are buzzing with excitement, eager to catch a glimpse of the missing in action singer-songwriter. Stay tuned for further updates on this intriguing development that promises to be a musical event like no other. One can’t help but wonder though, with Darling’s past…is this the return of a superstar…or the beginning of another disaster?”

I ground my teeth at the article’s mocking tone about my girl, but went on to the next one.

Harley Jacobs Engaged!

"For some off-ice development, Seattle's hockey sensation, Harley Jacobs, is taking a break from his on-ice battles to score a victory of a different kind—tying the knot with his longtime sweetheart, Maddie Cascio. The Seattle star forward is set to trade in his jersey for a dapper tuxedo in his hometown of Dallas."

“You wouldn’t happen to know when these things are taking place…would you?” I asked, my heart beating faster as a batshit crazy plan formed in my mind.

“August 16th it looks like.”
