“I don’t mean to be bitchy.”

“Right.” I nod, look down at her hand, and then back up at her. The guys are right, she’s beautiful. In every way.

She also wants literally less than nothing to do with me. Hell, she’s going out with someone elsetonight.

It doesn’t get any clearer than that.

“Don’t worry, Juniper, I’ll leave you be. Luna’s that way?”

Her mouth opens, but then she sighs. “Yeah. That way.”

“Thanks.”

I walk down the hall and hear Luna laughing with Sarah. When I get to the doorway, I can’t help but grin. They’re making the bed, but they’re in stitches over something, laughing so hard that they’re crying.

Sarah slowly slides to the floor as if she has no more muscle strength, which has Luna laughing harder.

“What’s so funny?”

“Oh, my god, so funny,” Luna manages to get out and then wipes at her eyes before waving away my question. “But it would get lost in translation. You made it.”

“I did. What do you need me for?”

“So many things. I have some tables and chairs that need to be brought into the dining room, and if you could bring the rugs that are on the stairs up here, I would appreciate it.”

“Is there any more man power on the way?”

“Wolfe should be here soon, and if we’re still here working when Tanner closes the studio, he’ll come by. At this rate, we’ll be here all night.”

“Are the tables and chairs assembled?” I ask her.

“Yes. And they’re also heavy since I got really nice pieces that will last a long time, but we can help you.”

“I’ll go down and start with the chairs,” I reply. “Wolfe and I can move the tables later.”

“There are rugs already in the dining room and unrolled so they would relax. You should be good to go in there.”

“Perfect.” I offer her a mock salute and then head back for the stairs, not a little relieved when I see that June has already moved on to another task.

It’s time I get June out of my system and move on.

ChapterThree

June

“Idon’t know what I was thinking. I’mnotwearing this,” I hiss into the phone as I stare at the mirror in horror. “What wereyouthinking?”

“That top looksstunningon you,” Luna assures me.

“But I’m showing cleavage, and this bra is ridiculously uncomfortable. I’m too big to wear something that boosts me up like this. I look like I should be working at Hooters or something.”

“Good, that means you look hot, but if you’re uncomfortable, wear something else. That’s the most important thing,comfort.”

“No, I’m trying new things, for God’s sake. I’m thinking outside the box, and I freaking hate it.”

“I can assure you that, if you’re wearing what we decided on at the inn this afternoon, you look great. We wouldn’t tell you to wear something horrible. You don’t look slutty, and you aren’t really showing that much cleavage, just more than you’re used to.”

“Feels like a lot,” I mutter and turn to the side to get a look at my ass. “These jeans are really tight on my ass, too.”
