Chuck shrugs. “She said you put it out.”
“Fuck.” Kellan runs a hand through his hair. “I didn’t finish! I just needed the space.”
“Shit.” Chuck reaches for the landline, dialing her number. We wait, holding our breaths. Then the sound of a phone vibrating on the desk, makes my heart drop into my stomach.
“Fuck!” Kellan turns to look at Hazel the moment her gasp echoes through the room. “What the fuck are you two doing here?”
Hazel is stuck staring at her phone, unintelligible squeaks coming out of her mouth.
“I’m just looking for Sybil.” I shrug.
“Why? You two haven’t talked in weeks.” Kellan glares at me, crossing his arms over his chest.
“I know why!” Hazel screeches, shoving her phone under Kellan’s nose.
I have an idea what she’s looking at. It’s not until Kellan’s face turns a shade of red so deep it looks purple that I know for sure they’re watching the video. I haven’t seen it, but I saw a photo in the email we got. Only the cover photo of the gallery Ramona sent us. We’re in the water, and Sibyl is smiling at me like I hung the moon. My hand is cupping the side of her face, eyes trained on her.
I took a screenshot, not ready to see the rest of the gallery. But I got annoyed opening the email every time I wanted to see it—to see her looking at me like that.
I kissed her so much that afternoon. I wonder if the video is just five minutes straight of us making out.
“You son of a bi—” Kellan comes at me, his arm cranked back like he’s going to hit me when Chuck clears his throat.
“What’s Juniper Hills?” He’s staring at thescreen on Sybil’s bright pink cell phone, eyes creased with worry. “And why is she applying for a job there?”
“Shit.” Hazel whips her head back to me. “What did you do, Logan?”
“Nothing worth mentioning to you,” I grumble, heading for the door.
“Now wait a damn minute!” Kellan stomps after me, with Hazel on his heels, and Chuck flipping the closed sign on the shop. “Where are you going?” Kellan grabs my arm, spinning me around. I half expect his fist to crack my jaw open.
“I’m going after Sib.” I wave an arm at my truck.
“Well, let’s go then.” Chuck gets in my front seat, Hazel and Kellan climbing in the back.
Goddamn this weird ass family.
“Sooo…” Hazel leans forward on the center console. “What’d you do? Huh?”
“I fucked up,” I grumble.
Backing onto the main road, I drive toward the highway.
“I’ll say.” Kellan glares at me in the rearview mirror.
“Kissing her wasn’t the mistake.”
“That’s debatable,” he grunts.
“I didn’t know she’d be the match at that photoshoot. I had no idea she even liked me. The second I turned around, though, something just…clicked.”
“You didn’t know she likes you?” Kellan looks incredulous.
“I had no?—“
“What’s Juniper Hills?” Chuck interrupts.
“It’s a fancy spa,” I say.
