Chapter 16

Erin

The next day, Erin lay in bed thinking about what had happened at Box Hill. It had been like something out of a Jane Austen novel where one of the female characters got hurt and one of the male ones swooped in and rescued the day. Angelina had been checked over and it turned out that she had sprained her ankle and not done anything more serious, and so she’d been advised to rest and to head to A and E if it got worse. Which it hadn’t appeared to do. Although Angelina had clearly enjoyed having Paul wait on her hand and foot since they’d got home. Erin could barely believe that the kind, caring and selfless chap who was catering to his girlfriend’s every need was the same person she’d grown up with. Where was the teasing man she’d come to know and love gone? She knew he had a heart of gold but didn’t think he’d often revealed this to his girlfriends. Erin would always love him because he was her brother but that didn’t mean he hadn’t got on her nerves on occasion. It seemed that love really could change a person because that was the only explanation for how he was behaving now around Angelina. Unless, of course, Angelina was a witch who’d cast a spell on him. A love spell… And they were fictional so it must be love.

It seemed that love really could conquer all and Erin thought about what that might feel like. She’d loved Billy, or at least she’d thought she had, but then she’d never really known him. She’d thought she had known him but then she couldn’t have done. He must have shown her only a version of him, the one he presented to the world and not the real Billy. The Billy she’d fallen for would never have done what he did or treated her so poorly.

And, as always whenever she thought about him, her heart started to race. What was he doing now? Was he preparing for Christmas, a magical Dubai Christmas with his lover that would be filled with champagne and laughter, with Instagram squares and romantic moments? She grabbed the pillow from the empty spot in bed next to her and covered her face then groaned into it, trying to force out her frustration and anger. Bloody Billy had made her into a growling harpy at times and that was what she resented him for. How could he do that to her? She’d been fine before she’d met him. Just fine!

Removing the pillow, she sat up and pushed her messy hair back from her face. She never would have believed that Paul would be the one in love and that she would be single. Paul had always been such a player, never seeming to want to settle down and now, here he was, catering to Angelina’s every whim. Next thing they knew he’d be proposing.

She froze.

Oh god, no! Not a Christmas proposal! Please no.
