Elle and Mallory pulled to a stop in front of Bree’s house and looked at the new window. They were all in a state of shock. The image of Shirley, Aiden, and Barry . . . it was all too much.

“Well,” Elle started. “That was certainly . . . memorable.”

Bree snorted and Mallory tried to fight the laughter causing her shoulders to shake uncontrollably. “Memorable is one way to put it,” Bree said as she almost fell out of the door.

“Hey, why don’t you come home with me tonight? I don’t like the idea of you staying here by yourself,” Elle said, quickly changing to big sister mode.

“I’m fine.” Bree waved her off before tripping on the curb and taking a facer into the azalea bushes. She felt hands grabbing at her before she was pulled from the attacking bush. “Maybe staying at your house wouldn’t be such a bad idea,” Bree conceded before being tucked back into the car.

“Does this sudden desire to drink enough vodka to drown a horse have anything to do with a certain man leaving for London?” Mallory asked as she pulled away from the curb and headed to Elle’s house.

“Nah. It has to do with being mistaken for an escort . . . and a certain guy heading to London in a couple hours,” Bree ended quietly. It was supposed to be a fun night. She didn’t want to think about her heart breaking.

Elle wrapped her arm around Bree’s shoulder. “Does it hurt?”

Bree just nodded. Cosmo-flavored tears slowly fell from her eyes. “It shouldn’t hurt this badly. I’ve only known him a couple weeks.”

“Love doesn’t follow a time frame, Bree.”

“I don’t.” Hiccup. “Love him.” Hiccup.

“You used to be such an accomplished liar,” Elle tried to tease.

Bree felt the tears coming faster as she laid her head on her sister’s shoulder. “I tried not to fall in love. I really did. I even knew he was going to leave. But, some part of me hoped he wouldn’t and that’s the part of me who’s broken-hearted.”

“You didn’t have to sever all ties, you know. Take the plane and visit him,” Mallory encouraged.

“No.” Bree shook her head. “If I see him, he’ll be perfect. Nice, funny, pushy, supportive, sexy, and I’ll want him even more. It’s better to cut it off cold turkey. The pain of a broken heart will heal eventually.”

“Then we won’t talk about him anymore. Unless you bring it up,” Elle added quickly.

Bree shook her head. As Elle led her to the guest room, she tried to think of anything other than the man who had flown to London with her heart.
