HOLDEN
Sophie is tanned and beautiful when she joins Nick and me for lunch. Something about Hawaii has revived her. She sips from her glass, the liquor and juice swirling together.
âHow are you guys feeling after our hike yesterday?â She asks.
âIt was definitely a workout. I might need to up my cardio time.â Nick rolls out his neck. âOr figure out how to stop aging.â
âDefinitely feeling old.â I agree.
Sophie shakes her head at us. âNeither of you are old and I feel uniquely qualified to assure you of that.â
Nick chuckles and I grin. But I see Bella talking with some girls and remind myself that I have to keep my hands to myself. I force my free hand into my pocket and meet Nickâs eyes. I jerk my head to the side so he knows whatâs going on. He nods and takes a long drink of beer.
Sophie looks between us, then over at Bella. She slumps in her chair and huffs before sucking from her straw again. âI hate this. So much. I want to touch you both.â
âI know, honey.â Nick comforts her. âSoon. Tonight is the rehearsal/ luau and tomorrow is the wedding. They leave and we still have one whole day here to enjoy Hawaii and each other.â
âPatience?â She scoffs.
I chuckle and brush her foot with my prosthetic. âYou managed it before.â
âAnd now Iâm greedy.â She sticks out her tongue.
Before either Nick or I can answer, her mother sits down. She shoots Bella a glare as she sizes her up. âSo, thatâs Bella.â
âMom, donât start.â
âI mean, sure sheâs young. And kinky ⦠and pretty. But what does she have to offer? I mean really.â Her mother orders a glass of wine, then points at Sophie. âAnd I know you donât like her either so donât try to convince me you do.â
âItâs her wedding day. She deserves to be happy.â Sophie shrugs. âIâd want to be happy if it was me getting married.â
My eyes flick to Nick, but he doesnât look bothered by the statement. I donât blame him. After his last bad relationship where he overheard his girlfriend say that if Nick wouldnât propose, she wouldnât stay and that their whole relationship was a waste of time, I donât expect him to want to get married anytime in the near future.
And me ⦠well ⦠Iâve thought about it, but why do I need some certificate to tell me I love someone? I donât. Just like I donât need to spend thousands of dollars on one day when Iâd rather travel with my partner or spoil them with gifts and experiences.
But if Sophie wants to get married ⦠well there are four of us, but it might change things. Not might. It would definitely change things.
âThat doesnât make me like her.â Her mom insists, then looks me over with a wicked smile. âHow about you, Holden? Do you like Bella? You all used to fuck her. Do you think about her when youâre with Sophie?â
âMom!â Sophie gasps. âThatâs-â
âLet him answer.
