chapter 18:

For the sixth time in her life, Courtney was sitting inside a private jet—and not just any private jet, but the Diamond jet, which could easily hold fifteen people. Adrian had chartered a jet to China and let them have the Diamond jet for Aspen, probably because he felt bad for not being able to come on the trip.

Right now, thirteen of them sat inside the roomy interior that looked more like a living room than an aircraft—Courtney, her sisters, Madison (who was technically a sister, but Courtney wasn’t counting her as one yet), Brett, Oliver, Brianna, Damien, Evie, Emily Nicole and their bodyguards. Perry and Noel had their own jet and would be meeting up with them in Aspen.

Courtney had naturally rushed to the frontmost seat, and Brett had settled across from her. Oliver was sleeping in a fully reclined seat on the opposite side of the plane, and Peyton was across the aisle from him, her earbuds plugged in as she stared out the window. The three bodyguards were in the back. Everyone else was in the center.

“Now it’s time for a toast!” Madison held up her flute of champagne, and everyone around her—Savannah, Evie, Emily Nicole, Brianna and Damien—raised theirs and watched her expectantly. How did Madison get onboard the jet for the first time and command everyone’s attention, looking so at home?

“To what’s sure to be an incredible week in Aspen,” Madison said. “Some of us already know each other well, and others will be getting to know each other for the first time. What better place to do that than in the most glamorous ski town in the world, with a house all to ourselves?”

“To a kick-ass week!” Damien held his glass high. “Aspen won’t know what hit it.”

They clinked glasses and launched into chitchat about what they were most looking forward to in Aspen, what they’d packed, advice on skiing, which celebrities they were hoping to spot and more. It was like they’d all known each other forever. Even Savannah and Madison were getting along. Courtney curled up in her seat, feeling like an outsider as she watched them. With all the years she’d spent dedicated to her work and only having time for her sisters, had she missed out on having a fun group of friends?

“Is everything okay?” Brett asked, nudging Courtney’s leg with his foot. Just the small contact made her heart speed up. She wanted to feel his arms around her so badly right now—probably more so because they had to keep a friendly distance. There were people around who didn’t know about their relationship. “You spaced out there for a minute.”

“Yeah.” She blinked and forced herself to focus. “I guess I just find all of this so strange.”

“You mean how random this group is, and knowing that we’re all going to be cooped up in one house for a week, along with two international pop stars? Because if that’s what you’re referring to, then yeah, I know exactly how you’re feeling.
