“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.
