I was packing up the car at the ranch and texting with Nick, and he was like, why let those extra rooms go to waste? Figured you wouldn’t mind (since there’s a ton of space now), so I invited Nick.

Followed by:

And Michelle.

I’m fuming as I exit the gate. I didn’t check any baggage, so I sling my oversized purse over my shoulder and roll my little suitcase behind me. I furiously pull up my brother’s chat thread, but I have so much to say I end up calling him instead.

It goes right to voicemail.

Coward.

I stop, lean against a concrete pillar, and type out a tirade of text. It involves things like “I can’t believe you did this!” and “How could you!”

This was supposed to be a family event. Yes, our cousins bailed, but he could have kept it a brother/sister weekend. It’s not like Danny and I have been able to spend any quality time together since he went to college. This could have been a nice opportunity for us.

I finish with, “How could you invite your best friend and your horrible girlfriend? Unforgiveable!”

Then I angrily press send and keep walking.

When I near the doors, I stop again. Suddenly realizing I have no idea how I’m getting to the house. It’s an hour’s drive, and Anna was supposed to pick me up.

Wonderful. In the three measly hours I was in the air, my cousins bailed, Danny betrayed me, and I’ve been stranded at the airport.

I ought to turn around and get back on the plane. That would serve Danny right. I mean, I cannot fucking believe he invited Michelle. That’s bad enough. But Nick? Seriously?

The only person I fight with more than my brother is Nick Carmichael. The guy is just so obnoxious. He’s been Danny’s best friend since his family moved to our little Utah suburb when Danny was twelve and I was ten. And those two boys used to torment me. Like, putting frogs under my pillow and pushing me fully clothed into the pool kind of torment. Then they became teenagers and ignored me altogether. Or at least Danny did. Nick got off on teasing me, and still does.

I swear, I’ve never met a more arrogant guy. Or a more good-looking one. Because, of course, only insanely hot, drop-dead-gorgeous men can get away with possessing that level of arrogance. Their good looks are like a hall pass for any and all assholery. So yeah, Nick is the entire tall, dark and handsome package. Muscular arms and stupid quarterback body. Cocky smile. My friends used to go nuts for him. They’d come over asking if Danny and Nick were home, which got real annoying after a while. Luckily, my closest friend Chelsea is into girls, so I didn’t have to worry about losing her to the boy side. She was my only friend who didn’t fawn over Nick.

I don’t know what’s worse—if Danny had invited only Michelle and made me the third wheel, or what he ended up doing: creating this sick little foursome and serving Nick up as my companion.
