Chapter Seven

Later that night, Ava lay in the dark listening to Brian breathing and said a silent prayer of thanks that he didn’t out and out refuse her request of going to the cottage. In all of her planning she had never considered the possibility of Brian having an issue with going with her because of her history with Mason. How were they going to overcome this? She certainly didn’t want her previous relationship to become a hindrance with their moving forward. There was no doubt in her mind that she was completely over Mason and he was over her. The man was getting married; how much more over her could he be?

In a flash it hit her; they were going to have to look at the possibility of getting together with Mason and clearing the air and making sure that there were no hard feelings. Ava cringed; this was certainly not in any of her plans. Sure she didn’t have any hard feelings toward the man but that didn’t mean that she wanted to hang out with him and be friends! If she was okay with going back to the place where she almost got married, why wouldn’t Brian be? She turned her head and studied his shadow in the dark and smiled. He was going to have to get used to it if she had any hope of ever getting the wedding that she wanted and her happy ending.

Two days later found them sharing a dinner again. Ava decided the best course of action was to just throw it all out there and hope for the best. “We’re going for drinks with Mason tomorrow night.”

Brian almost choked on his food. “What?”

“Well, it seems like you maybe have some issues and I thought it would be best if we all sat down together and talked about it; you know, cleared the air. Mason thinks it’s a good idea.”

“Wait a minute,” he said, rising from his chair to pace the kitchen. “You called Mason and told him that we’re dating?” Ava nodded. “Why? Why would you do that?”

Ava rose from the table as well, her tone defensive. “Was it supposed to be a secret? Were you planning on hiding our relationship from your friends?”

“This isn’t about my friends, Ava, and you damn well know it! This is about one friend in particular and I didn’t think it was necessary to inform him.”

“Ever or just for now?” she asked snidely.

Brian sighed with frustration. “Look, I just don’t think it was your place to go about arranging this little get-together. I have no problem talking to Mason but it was my decision to make as to when I wanted to do it.”

“You’re wrong because clearly you have some major hang-ups about my relationship with Mason and it’s becoming an issue with us!”

“An issue? You asked me one time to go to one place and I mentioned that I wasn’t crazy about the idea and now all of a sudden we have issues because of it? It seems to me that you are the one with the issue, Ava.
