“How about that you love him? That seems like a good place to start.”
“Anyone ever tell you how smart you are?”
“I’ve heard it recently.”
Holt tightened his arms around my back. “This dress new?”
“Hayden gave it to me.”
“You look beautiful.”
I buried my head against his chest and inhaled his forest scent. “I saw you dancing with Marlow.”
He stiffened. “I can hardly look at her.”
I completely understood. He handled her much better than I would.
“You’re trying. For Trish and Andrew.”
“She insists she didn’t have anything to do withhershowing up.”
“Do you believe her?”
He was quiet a minute. We barely moved little more than a sway.
“I don’t know.”
“She seemed pretty shaken.”
“I can’t trust her.”
How could he?She’d betrayed them all.
“She’s not on my list of favorite people. If she did do this . . .”
“I don’t think I can forgive her.” The words escaped him in a rush.
“Give it some time.”
He jerked back, his eyes searching mine. “Do you think I should?”
“If it’s the right thing for you, yes. If not, no. Just don’t make a decision now.”
“Sounds like you’re on her side.”
“Definitely not. I’m on yours, but you know that.”
He ran a finger down my cheek. “When are you headed back to the city?”
“Sunday.”
“Think you’ll find a new roommate?” The contrived brightness in his tone clawed at my heart.
“I’m going to leave it open. I can’t share a bathroom with just anyone.”
“That sorry SOB you lived with before never fixed the bathroom, did he?”
“Nope. The way I look at it, he owes me that.”
