“I can’t believe Penny married him.”
“She’s having his baby, so it’s probably for the best.” Camryn chuckles.
“Kind of wish I was there to see if unfold.” I chuckle.
“Me too.” Camryn laughs. “How’s Axel?”
“He’s desperate to find her.”
“You think he’s going to give her a second chance?” she asks.
“Yeah, he’s head over heels in love with her, but they have a lot to work out.”
“Penny being married to Eddie is not going to change her family dynamics,” Camryn adds.
“No?”
“They are old school. I don’t think they are going to accept her being with Axel.”
“Shit! Really?”
“Her mother for sure won’t. I think her dad might, but her mother is a piece of work,” Camryn explains.
“Don’t you think Olivia is done living the life her family wants? If this isn’t the biggest wakeup call, then I don’t know what is.”
“I agree. My fingers are crossed for them,” Camryn adds.
“How are things with you?” I ask.
“Good. Busy,” she answers cagily.
“What are you hiding?” I push.
“Nothing!”
That sure as hell doesn’t sound like nothing the way her voice slides up.
“Urgh. Fine. Harris is acting a little crazy, but I’ve got it under control,” she tells me.
“Cam!”
“It’s fine. I can handle him. He’ll eventually get bored with annoying me,” Camryn explains.
“Babe, I don’t like this.”
“Trust me. I’m fine.”
“Let Jackson know, he might be able to do something,” I tell her.
“Okay. Yeah. I might.”
“Well, love you. Look after yourself. Let me know if you need me to come to New York and sort out your ex.”
Camryn laughs. “Will do.” We say our goodbyes.
I get off the phone and call Axel again and again, but he never picks up.
