“Oh my stars,” Tilly said the second she found Willa at the event. “I’m moving to Keeneston. I have never seen so many hot men in my life.”

Willa hugged her friend and enjoyed a bit of normalcy. Her bodyguards were stationed around and Greer, dressed as her groom, was hanging out near Apollo’s stall.

“I met Greer’s brother and his friends last night. Too bad her brother is already married,” Tilly rattled on.

“I thought you liked Parker,” Willa said, trying to keep up with whomever Tilly was currently lusting after. Ironically, Tilly had less of a social life than Willa did. Neither of them hardly ever dated and when they did, it usually resulted in disaster. Yet they had each other and many pints of ice cream.

Tilly sighed. “I think he thinks I’m goofy. I’m trying to be more outgoing and I just come off as silly.” Tilly had been painfully shy when Willa met her as a child. She was still shy, but recently she’d forced herself to be more outgoing.

Tilly was hilarious, sweet, and good. She devoted all her spare time to charity and helping others. When they got together to hang out, they’d joke about the hot men they’d love to date but never would. Marguerite and Valentina had done a number on Tilly’s self-confidence. She still saw herself as the small shy kid huddled in the corner at the party instead of the confident sexy woman she was when she wasn’t around those bullies.

“I’m sure he doesn’t think you’re silly,” Willa said, trying to reassure her friend.

Tilly shrugged. “They’re all out of my league. You see how hot they are. I’m just me. But it’s fun to look nonetheless.”

“Tilly, you are totally in their league.”

Tilly blushed and then changed the topic. “How did last night go with Porter?”

Willa laughed and filled her friend in on the acid gun, her father’s bad behavior, and the way Porter had kissed her senseless and then held her all night long.

“He didn’t push you to sleep with him?”

“Sleep, yes. Sex, no,” Willa said, sounding disappointed.

“But you would have?” Tilly asked.

Willa didn’t even think about it. “Yes. There’s something there between us. I know it’s soon, but Tilly, he’s the one. Like, no question about it. He’s the one.”

“July second would be the perfect date for a wedding!” Greer called out from the stall. How she’d even heard their conversation was beyond Willa.

“Three weeks from now? We haven’t even gone on a date without someone being killed or made it past some serious making out. I think it’s going to take a little time,” Willa said with a chuckle.

“Not with the men in my family. Once they know, they never veer from the path. They love and love hard. They don’t waste time with proper dates before making a move. I can guarantee Porter is already realizing his feelings for you. If you know yours, then you two will be good to go by the next assassination attempt. Romance and gunfire. How romantic.
