He laughs at my fake British accent. “You’re completely nuts.”
“Have you seriously only just worked that out?” I roll my eyes.
He sobers. “Did you have enough to eat?”
I nod, yawning. “Yes, thank you. It was delicious.”
“Why don’t you go draw that bath and I’ll be up soon.”
I smile. “Okay.” I go to stand and then turn to look at him. “Are you sure there’s nothing else bugging you?”
“I’m sure.”
I have no idea if I believe him, but I can’t prize it out of him. If he wants to tell me something, then he will.
I texted Ari and Imogen about my date out in the countryside and of course they wanted to know everything. I just don’t know how to tell them about Alistair, or what they’ll think.
I know they won’t judge — heck, Ariana married her ex-boyfriend’s dad, and Imogen is living in Seattle with her Russian billionaire boyfriend who also happens to be her boss, and he posed as an escort the night they slept together. Long story. I know my best friends will understand.
I read back on the texts as I wait for the bath and I smile.
Ari
I so knew you’d meet some hot playboy. Tell us what he’s like. He’s big right? Tell me he’s hung like a horse
Imi
Ari! Stop being so vulgar. Why do both your minds always go straight to the gutter?
I laugh because Imogen is the most straight out of the three of us.
Me
?? he’s big, Ari. Even better, he knows what to do with it
Ari

Imi

I couldn’t tell them the whole truth; that I’m falling for Alistair in a way I never thought possible. I’m afraid if I say it out loud, the spell will be broken. Especially because I have no idea what feelings he has for me, if any. He’s so hard to read, and lately he’s been hot and cold.
Me
We’re in his manor in Gloucestershire, and it’s so amazing you guys. He has a couple of horses, too, they’re so sweet
Ari
I want to come to Gloucestershire!
Me
Well you can, hop on a plane
Ari
