Lucy
Is it Millie?
Mom
We’re never weird dear. Who’s Millie? And why does Lucy know about her?
Me
Millie is a FRIEND. Please don’t make a big deal out of this. She has anxiety and you being extra will not be helpful. She needs to talk to Lucy about something for her research and I figured Sunday dinner would be the best place.
Lucy
Research? For What? Doesn’t she run a library program?
Mom
Yes, I would still also like to know who this Millie is?
Mom
and I am not ‘Extra’. ALSO you still didn’t tell me why Lucy knows and I don’t. Lucy, I thought you loved me.
Me
It’ll make sense when you meet her on Sunday. I promise.
Lucy
Sorry Mom, future brother-in-law sister-in-law confidentiality.
Me
Marry me Luce.
Kessler
Stop trying to steal my fiancée.
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
amelia
I should cancel.
It’s hisfamilydinner.
I have no business being there.
These are the things I keep telling myself as I pace back and forth in my room in nothing but my towel. I pick up my phone to text Judd that I can’t make it but see there’s already one from him.
Maybe he’s having second thoughts and is canceling on me.
The thought should make me happy, but it doesn’t. I’m actually beginning to enjoy spending time with him. He’s not the arrogant playboy the press has made him out to be. He’s kind, thoughtful, and so… Fucking. Hot. that part the press definitely got right.
