Ezra
Just yourself.
Scarlett
That I can do. I’ll see you then!
I move to the window and glance down at the cottage, catching a glimpse of Scarlett smiling. She’s as excited as I am. And suddenly, the thought of that makes me feel nervous.
CHAPTER 7
SCARLETT
The second I set my phone down, I want to pick it back up to make sure I’m not imagining his invite.
I reread his message, confirming it’s real, then click on Hallie’s name.
Scarlett
Update. We kissed.
Hallie
Aah!! And?
Scarlett
It was magical. Omfg. I’m so doomed.
Hallie
I’m jealous! I’ll happily switch places with you. If an attractive guy even looked at me these days, I’d be a puddle.
Scarlett
I’m having dinner with him tonight.
Hallie
You have all the luck.
Scarlett
Just this once, I need a win.
Hallie
You do. I have a feeling he’s going to give you LOTS of inspiration.
Scarlett
Crossing my fingers. I need to finish this book in a week!
Hallie
Keep me updated. I’m invested.
I laugh, flopping back onto the couch and staring at the ceiling fan like it might give me life advice. It just creaks and spins like it’s been through this before.
