I groan loudly, tug my baseball cap off, and scrub a hand through my hair. Miles has been going back and forth to Aspen over the past month and has been uncharacteristically mysterious about it. I know it has to do with this girl. And I know it has to do with Santiago Torres, but that’s all.

And Idefinitelydon’t like his answer.

“Because I’m getting married, and I need you to be my best man.”
