He shrugs. “Just calling it like I see it.”
Over his shoulder, I see Vince wipe his brow as he returns to the door. His bald head glistens with sweat. Is he overheating? Maybe he needs some water.
“Hey, Seth!”
Seth looks at me.
I toss him a bottle of water. “Take it to Vince.”
Seth disappears into the crowd. Vince seems relieved when Seth gives it to him, taking a huge gulp. Poor guy doesn’t get enough credit for what he does.
But now I’m worried. Vince has rarely ever looked so tired. Maybe Piper’s on to something.
“Hey, Jordan,” a voice says.
I smile when I see Holden. “Oh, hey. What can I get you?”
“Two berry sangrias and one vodka sour, please.”
“You got it. Here with friends?”
Holden points over his shoulder, where his blue-haired friend from the movie is sitting next to a blonde woman. “Korie and Hattie.”
Korie. That’s it. I couldn’t remember the name. Korie is wearing a stunning blue dress that glitters under the lights.
“She’s decked out, isn’t she?”
“They,and yeah. They enjoy dressing up sometimes. Some friends are coming in soon too.”
“Oh yeah? How about I upgrade the sangrias to a pitcher then?”
He grins. “Sure, thanks.”
“How do you know them?” I ask, nodding at his friends.
“Korie and I have been friends since we were little. Our parents are close, which made us close. That kind of thing. And Hattie is my twin.”
“No shit?”
He shrugs.
“What’s that like?”
“Eh, you know. Annoying seventy percent of the time, but great the other thirty.”
I chuckle. “Sounds about right. You guys close?”
“Very.”
“Good. I’ve heard that’s common with twins.”
“Can be, yeah. Anyway, I wanted to ask. Are you still seeing someone? Because if not, I really am interested.” A small dimple appears in his left cheek when he smiles.
I shake my head, amused. I thought Piper was the one to push him toward me, but maybe not. His confidence is astounding. “I am, yeah.”
“Damn. Must be serious then?”
“It is.” I’m only seeing Miles through a screen right now, but I’m still fully committed to him.
