Chapter Ten

"So how are things between the two of you?" Erin slid closer to me on the sleek white couch so we could talk without shouting. Ivan, Dimitri and Yuri had moved to the other end of the VIP area right after Nikolai had arrived. Heads together, they seemed to be talking about something serious. The nosy side of me really wanted to know what it was.

Feeling totally comfortable with Erin, I confessed, "Dimitri told me he loved me tonight."

Excitement crossed her face. "Oh my gosh! That's wonderful. What did you say?"

"That I love him."

She threw her arms around me and gave me a hug. "I'm so happy for you. This has been a long time coming from what I understand."

"Apparently," I said a little sheepishly. "I didn't realize Dimitri felt that way about me and he didn't realize I was practically dying for him either. Talk about a hot mess of confusion!"

Erin giggled. "Sometimes relationships go that way." She glanced back at Ivan and smiled. "Sometimes they happen hot and fast, and there's nothing to do but grab on tight and hang on for the ride."

"Do you ever worry that things happened too quickly? Even though I've known Dimitri for years, I keep second-guessing myself."

"Ivan and I happened fast. Probably too fast," she admitted, "but when you know, you know. I wouldn't change a thing. Is it always rainbows and ponies? No. We have our arguments but we love each other so we figure out a way to make it work." She squeezed my hand. "You love Dimitri. He loves you. Just communicate and compromise and you'll be fine."

From what I'd seen of her relationship with Ivan, they were totally open with one another. It seemed like good advice and I tucked it away for later.

"So…um…about your brother," Erin said nervously. "What are you going to do about that?"

I exhaled slowly. "God, I don't even know."

"You think he's making a mistake selling out his share?"

I played with the hem of my dress. "No. Honestly, he's the smart one in that situation. He's not letting his emotions drag him deeper into the shit. He wants his money while there's still money to be had. I don't blame him for that—but I worry. Constantly. I worry that he's going to do something really stupid with this money or that he's going to sign some ridiculous deal with that developer and lose everything."

"It's not easy when you have to assume a parent role with a sibling. Believe me." She rolled her eyes. "Ruby and I have gone around and around for years. At a certain point, though, you just have to stand back and say enough. You've made mistakes. I've made mistakes. We survived and we learned from them. Johnny will do the same."

Like Dimitri, she offered wise counsel. It was just so hard to think about stepping back from Johnny and letting him make his own decisions. I wanted to spare him all the hardships possible but maybe he needed to experience them.
