Quinn could tell from Madison’s expression that she was surprised by this announcement.
“Really?”
“Yes. Apparently, Mel, my manager, is friends with Autumn and her friends. So, I met a whole gaggle of lesbians today.”
“Look at you go.”
“It’s good that I’m getting word out about the bar before it even opens.”
“That’s right, friend. Build the hype.”
Quinn sighed loudly.
“Okay, what else?” Madison asked.
Quinn glanced over somewhat startled by the question.
“What do you mean?”
“You just sighed out loud. Clearly there’s more to conversate about.” Madison pinned her with a pointed look.
“I had a conversation with Autumn before she left. And I’m not sure where to put it.” The admission made Quinn feel like she was back in high school, though she knew that Madison wasn’t going to judge her.
“Oh, did you? Obviously, I want to hear all about it.”
Something about Maddison’s eagerness made Quinn chuckle.
“She told me that her friends were rooting for her and I to date.”
“Hold on. What do you want to bet her friends noticed the same thing between the two of you that I noticed?”
“Let’s not get carried away,” Quinn laughed.
“Fine. What did you say when she told you that?”
“I told her that she was definitely my type,” Quinn declared with a smile.
She watched as Madison’s mouth literally fell open before continuing.
“Then I told her that my last relationship was rough, and I’m not really interested in dating.”
Madison reacted to the news like it was a devastation. She fell face first onto the couch with a groan.
“I cannot believe you did that,” Madison whined.
“Why not? It is the truth.”
“Quinn!” Madison growled.
“What is it? That is the truth.”
“You met someone who is beautiful and smart and totally your type, yet you blew her off.”
“I didn’t blow her off. I gave her a reasonable explanation for why I’m not dating.”
“Aren’t you the least bit interested in Autumn?”
“Of course, I am. But that doesn’t magically make it the right timing.”
