THE DAY TURNED OUT exactly like Abby had planned: a fun day on the town with Izzy and Riley. They did as much as they could cram in from the touristy stuff to shopping and taking pictures everywhere. It was a blast.

For the first time Abby witnessed a new side of Riley...a happy side. Okay, maybe happy was pushing the limits, but the straight face and frown he usually wore, with the condescending word or two, was temporarily replaced with more frequent half smiles.

The evening however was a different story. Kate, Peyton and Sydney were waiting in the lounge when they arrived back at the hotel. Followed by a slew of questions including, Why did you leave without telling us? As if Abby had to give them every single detail of her life. If she wanted to go hang out with friends she would. She hadn’t told them what she’d been up to for the last six years. Why would she start now?

It was Kate. She was stepping back into Mommy Mode and working up her sisters. Having them at the hotel hadn’t turned out to be all that bad though. After eating a delicious grilled chicken penne together, her sisters decided to stay for the week. They settled in the bar around a high pub table. Music rolled over them from the live band playing at the far end for the dancing crowd. Abby was going to get onto that dance floor before the night was done...maybe she would take Riley with her.

She almost laughed out loud at the idea. Izzy made her way back to the table with a tray of drinks for everyone. “Holla! Pass these around.”

Abby sipped her wine then looked at her worrying sisters and said, “You three overreact. I was fine. I just wanted a break and threatened Riley that I was going to drive up here on my own.” She glanced over her shoulder in the direction Riley had disappeared towards the men’s room.

“Are you two a thing?” Sydney asked.

Abby wished. Did she? If they were a thing, then it would be use and throw away. Abby didn’t like the idea of whatever was going on between her and Riley suddenly ending. But she also didn’t want to try and explain their relationship to her sisters when she wasn’t sure what it was.

“No! Oh my gosh, he is not interested in me at all.” She waved her hands through the air to get her point across.

“You wish he was,” Izzy teased, elbowing her in the side.

Abby glared at her.

“You’re interested in him?” Sydney asked.

Who wasn’t?

Abby grinned at her sister. “He’s easy to look at.”

Laughter broke out around the table.

“He’s delicious,” Izzy drooled. “I could stroke that beard forever.”

Abby laughed at Izzy and swatted her shoulder. “You’re so strange.”

Izzy caught her hand mid-air. “Oh, don’t give me that. I bet you ten bucks you’d like to stroke that beard right now.”

Who wouldn’t?

“You are the daughter of a multimillionaire and you bet me ten bucks?” Abby cried insulted.
