I liked them a lot more after hearing her call them hot.
Fuck me. I was doomed. I needed to talk to someone about this or else I was going to lose my mind.
My fingers moved before I thought it through and I shot Austin a text.
Me
What are you doing in the morning?
Austin
Everything ok?
Me
Yeah. It’s about Madi.
Austin
Madi, the artist that’s visiting???
Me
Yep
Austin
Well . . . I don’t have any pressing plans despite it being a Monday. Coffee Debrief?
Me
Coffee Debrief.
CHAPTER SEVEN
June
Living in a small town had turned me into a nosy bitch.
My eyes were glued to the front window of my flower shop. I watched as Dallas led the gorgeous woman who’d nearly run me over last week from the cafe back to Whynot Stay. They were laughing. Smiling.
Madi.
They looked really cute together. Both tall with dark hair. Like a movie star couple.
I leaned forward over the arrangement I was working on. I didn’t tear my gaze away until Dallas’s muscled back disappeared behind the handcrafted wooden door.
Fuck.Jealousy was ugly. I had no real reason to be jealous, either. I wasn’t dating Dallas.Dallas was just a friend.I was pretty sure he saw me as an extension of Avery, therefore I was firmly in the “little sister” category.
Liar.
It was the lie I’d been using to soothe myself. The problem was that it had a fatal flaw.
That one night.
I’d told myself it was a mistake. Ithadbeen a mistake, because since then, nothing had been the same between us.Anytime I saw him, I thought about the way his lips had felt against mine. Sparks popped up my spine as he’d yanked me against him, rough and demanding. Our lust searing me like a brand.
I’d known Dallas my entire life and there’d never been a single drop of attraction between us.
