I can’t tell if it’s from the wobble or her reaction.
She cares aboutme.
And I’m pretending,really pretending, that thought alone doesn’t completely undo me.
CHAPTER 19
WHAT EXACTLY ARE THEY NOTICING?
Scottie
Blair
Girls’ night at my place tonight.
Blair
Griffin is working at the bar.
Lily
I’m so in.
Poppy
I’m going to stay in tonight. I promised Sage a pedicure date.
Lily
You get a pass because we love Sage.
Me
I just got done filming for the day. I’m exhausted.
Blair
Sweatpants mandatory.
Lily
And I’ll bring cookies and a bottle of sangria.
Me
You had me at cookies.
It’s already dark out by the time I make it to Blair’s place.
I almost texted them that I changed my mind after the long day of filming we had.
Tucker was right yesterday when he said we were better off gutting the living room before the camera crew came into the space. The ceiling and the debris were completely gone when I showed up this morning. Apparently, the water stain was from a loose pipe beneath the master bathroom that was slowly leaking over the years, creating that ugly brown halo in the ceiling.
Tucker and Levi fixed the problem before we re-insulated and patched the drywall in front of the camera today. Then we moved to refinishing the brick around the fireplace from its natural red to a rustic white and then put built-in bookshelves around that. Just when I thought we were going to call it a day, they insisted we paint the walls and the ceiling.
I swore up and down that I could paint the room myself.
But Tucker fought back with his perfect smile, saying he was going to help.
