Holly answered, “One, your odds of living large with Gate are at one hundred. That man is inlove. Second, you could sell this house in a heartbeat.”
“It is pretty swank,” Jenna nodded.
“Third, and here’s the real question of the night,” Holly went on, “what do youwantto do about the women at the compound.”
I tried to think about the situation logically, instead of heart first. “I could stay away and just ignore that whole aspect of the situation. Right? I mean, we could have our life, and then he could have the club. Lots of couples have relationships like that.”

“Rememberwhoyou used to be at the compound,” Holly added.
“And be her,” Layla winked.
