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.
