“Listening, duh!”
“Hollie, you need to let the two of them work this out.”
I started to laugh then quickly pressed my mouth shut when Lucas lifted a brow.
“Are you serious?” I asked. “You want me to sit back here and not even listen?”
“Yes. Let your sister handle it.”
I folded my arms above my swollen belly. “Aren’t you glad to see your friend back in town?”
“Of course I am.”
“Aren’t you looking forward to spending time with him, you, and Shawn?”
“Yes. The three of us were really good friends once.”
I nodded. “Well, if he pisses Sarah off, you better hope he doesn’t turn into a frog.”
Lucas scoffed. “Please—she can’t do that.”
The corner of my mouth rose as I sent him a smirk. “And I couldn’t help Benny save his pub.”
His smile faded. “Point taken. Just be quiet so they don’t hear us!”
Lucas and I slipped from the office and went into the back stockroom area. We tiptoed right to the edge of the small hallway that led from the stockroom into the store.
“Sarah, will you look at me, please?”
I couldn’t see them, but I assumed that was Matt’s voice.
“Okay, are you really going to act like a child and ignore me?” he asked.
“Oh shit,” I whispered.
Lucas groaned. “Can she really turn him into a frog?”
I waved for him to be quiet, and we both leaned in closer to hear better.
“I’m sorry, did you need something other than to tell me what an awful person I am?”
“Maybe we can start over. My name is Matt Merlin. You probably don’t remember me, but I used to live by Lucas when we were kids.”
I would have given anything to see Sarah’s face.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Merlin, I don’t remember you. Is there anything you need help with?”
“She lied!” I whispered. “Why would she lie?”
There was a bit of silence, and I fought the urge to get down and crawl forward on my hands and knees so I could see what was happening.
Matt chuckled. “You don’t remember me?”
“Am I supposed to remember you?” Sarah asked.
“Considering you said I was your first kiss, then yes.”
Lucas and I both gasped. He pulled me back, and we looked at each other.
