“So do I.” She nodded. “Though my credit card doesn’t agree.”
“Neither does mine.” I laughed. “But that’s a worry for next month, when the bill arrives.”
“You speak the truth,” she said, and we ordered a bottle of Chardonnay. “Until the bill arrives, then we are fine.”
“Exactly.”
“Oh my God,” she groaned.
I frowned. “What?”
“You won’t believe who’s here.” She sighed.
“Who?” My face paled. “Please don’t say Gabby and Xander.”
“No—well, you’re half right. Gabby is here with a bunch of girls.”
“Oh, great.” I made a face and then watched as Alice frowned.
“Okay, this is weird, but she’s drinking wine, I think.” Her eyes narrowed, and she gasped. “She is definitely drinking wine.”
“What the fuck?” I turned around. “She can’t drink alcohol! She’s pregnant.”
“What’s she doing?” Alice frowned. “She’s such a selfish bitch.”
“I’m going to go and tell her off.” I jumped up, furious with Gabby.
What the fuck was she playing at?
“What do you think you’re doing?” I screamed as I approached a giggling Gabby.
“Oh, hi, Liv.” She grinned. “I’m showing Shannon my ring.”
“I don’t care what you’re showing her,” I shouted at her again and picked up her glass and sniffed. “This is wine. Why are you drinking?”
“What?” She frowned.
“You can’t drink, Gabby.”
“What?” She grabbed her glass and sipped some wine in front of me. “Says who?”
“What about the baby?” I said softly. “How can you do this to the baby?”
“I’m not pregnant.” She laughed and sat back.
“What?” My jaw dropped. “What about Xander and Henry and the baby and the engagement? What do you mean, you’re not pregnant?”
“Oh, Liv.” She shook her head. “You don’t get it, do you?” She sipped some more wine.
“Get what?”
“Luke and I had a relationship. Well, we had sex.” She grinned. “Don’t tell Alice, but it started when they were dating.”
“Oh my God.” My eyes widened. “What?”
“Yeah, he’s pretty good in bed.” She grinned. “Who was I to say no?”
“Oh, Gabby.” I shook my head.
