Hailey grabbed my hands to stop my arms. “What are you talking about?”
I lowered my voice as I looked in Pierce’s direction. He was talking to Greyson. Probably planning world domination after they eliminated Jameson as a threat. “The moment I realized I was in love should be magical,” I said.
Her lower lip pouted. “Ah, honey. Do you need me to get the water bottle and spritz you?”
“Very funny. Maybe. I can’t seem to wake up from this particular nightmare. But I’m serious. It definitely shouldn’t be the moment his ex-fiancée boldly kissed him in front of me. That wasn’t a moment I could tell my kids about.”
“Madison. This isn’t real. Greyson said they are just setting a trap.”
“You’re right. Of course, you’re right. But what about yours?”
She looked over her shoulder at Greyson. “Mine isn’t real either, not really.”
“Are you sure?”
“Not really. I mean there was a bishop but that could mean anything. Right?”
My eyes widened. “How should I know?”
Her expression matched mine as she turned to full on stare at Greyson. “Holy fuck. I might actually be married.”
“I know.”
“Likemarriedmarried.”
“I know!”
She dipped her head close to mine. “We could sneak out the back. You and me. We don’t owe them anything.”
I was tempted to take her up on her offer. There was just one problem. “You love him.”
“What?”
“Greyson—you love him.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. I told you the man kidnapped me! He’s arrogant and stubborn and a pain in the ass and?—”
“And you love him.”
“Stop saying that. It makes me look insane.”
“Fine. At the very least you like him…a lot.”
“Stop saying that.”
“I’ve known you for ages and I’ve never seen you look at a guy like the way you look at him.”
“Have I mentioned he drives me crazy?”
“I think that’s why you like him.”
She sighed as her shoulders dropped. “Dammit.”
“What?”
“I like him. I might actually be dumb enough to be close to loving him. Son of bitch. I’m in love with my husband.”
“If it helps, I think he’s in love with you, too.”
