Chapter 20

Pretending – only works when people don’t know you’re faking

Mercy

Good morning, sassy girl

I frown at the message from Gibson. He sends them constantly. Sweet little messages to remind me he’s thinking of me. Or, they would be sweet, if he wasn’t pushing me. Apparently agreeing to give me time doesn’t mean not pushing me. Sneaky man.

How did you sleep?

Are you having a good day?

I groan. Why does he have to be sweet? No one’s ever asked me about my day before. Not even my mom when I was little.

“Hey, Mercy!” Indigo shouts.

My brow wrinkles as I walk out of the garage to discover Indigo standing with Virginia and Leia in the driveway.

“What are you doing here?”

“We’re here to convince you to stay with Gibson,” Leia says.

Indigo slaps her shoulder. “You weren’t supposed to tell her.”

Virginia snorts. “Because this is a secret mission?”

Indigo crosses her arms over her chest. “This is a secret mission.”

“You’ve been hanging around the gossip gals too much,” Leia grumbles.

“And you’re starting to resemble your grumpy man.”

Leia waves her hand in the air. “I think you mean grumpy fiancé.”

“Oh my god!” I squeal and rush to hug her. “Congratulations.”

“What happened? Did he get down on one knee? Or just grunt at you?” I ask when we pull apart.

Indigo pushes her way in between us. “We’ll tell you all about it when you come with us.”

I motion to the garage. “I’m still at work.”

“And you’re the boss now so you can leave whenever you want.”

I frown. “I’m not the boss yet.”

“Go on. Get out of here,” Basil hollers from under the hood of the car we’re currently restoring. “You’re not going to get anymore work done today now anyway.”

“Thanks, boss.”

“Not your boss anymore,” he mutters.

Technically, he’s still my boss until we finish the paperwork but he’s obviously ready to retire.

“Let’s go.” Indigo tries to herd me away, but I plant my feet.

“I’m not going anywhere in this attire.” I motion to my overalls, which are covered in grease and paint. “And I need to get home to Uncle Mercury anyway.”

“Mercury’s handled,” Virginia says. “Gratitude is going to sit with him.”

“Gratitude?” My brow wrinkles. “Your former boss?”

She shrugs. “Apparently, they’re friends.”

Indigo shoos me toward the restroom. “Now get out of the overalls and get ready to go.”

I debate fighting them some more but I could use a night out with my friends. Spending another night pacing around my bedroom trying to figure out what to do about Gibson isn’t appealing. Plus, Mercury threatened to shoot me with birdshot if I didn’t settle down. Yep. A night out is what’s needed.

“Where are we going?” I ask once we’re settled in a golfcart driving away from the garage.

Virginia sighs. “My house.”

My brow wrinkles. “If you don’t want us in your house, we can go somewhere else. Not my place. Obviously. I don’t actually have a place. But somewhere else.”

“No, can do,” Indigo announces. “Cash and the gang are at my house doing whatever it is musicians do when they get together.
