CHAPTER 9

TATUM

Fiona is useless. After Abi asked to take me on a date yesterday, I tasked Fee with finding me something unforgettable to wear. Unforgettable, it is, but her selection is also unforgivable. When I arrived at the bed-and-breakfast, my heart was aflutter with anticipation. Now, all I feel is dread, and that dread has nothing to do with Abi Kincaid. It’s down to the outfit she’s selected. It’s simply a pair of fishnets (no), a banana-yellow jockstrap with a drawing of a ruler on the pouch, directly below the words “You must be this long to ride” (again, no), and a sparkly pink tank top (maybe).

Each article of clothing is resting neatly on her bed. Behind them, Fee is lying on her back, endlessly tapping her phone screen.

“I’m not wearing any of this, and I’ll set this entire bed-and-breakfast on fire if you ever pull something like this again. Jesus, Fiona. You’re a terrible friend. I’m going on a date tonight. My first date in over half a year. I can’t walk into the lobby wearing heels and a jockstrap. What would people think?”

She places her phone on the bed beside her. Her expression isn’t unkind. There’s no malice on her face at all. She looks determined. She touches the empty space beside her, beckoning me over. Reluctantly, I shuffle over and take the spot on her bed she’s offering. While I almost expect her to rear back her hand and slap me for getting sassy with her, she does nothing of the sort. Instead, she wraps an arm around me and pulls me closer.

“You spend an awful lot of time worrying about what people will think of you. I wish you would stop doing that. Kincaid will be there. He’s not going to let anyone make fun of you.” She reaches behind me and squeezes my butt. “If I had an ass like this, I’d show it off at every chance.”

I roll my eyes. “Your ass is spectacular. Just ask the state of Washington. Half the population knows from experience.”

Her eyes crinkle at the sides as her smile widens. “I know. I just love a compliment.” She playfully taps the tip of my nose. “Seriously, though. I want you to wear what makes you happy and confident. If it’s fishnets and a jockstrap, so be it. Don’t let other people steal your sparkle.”

“That’s not what I’m doing,” I say. The scent of her familiar perfume is strong, giving me a nostalgic feeling. It’s a scent I’ve spent the last six months growing accustomed to. Cherry blossom, perhaps. Maybe a bit of mango. Traces of rose and gardenia. It’s a lovely scent, and it’s one I didn’t even realize I was missing. As ridiculous as our connection is, Fee feels like home. She’s a super-fab cuddler. She calls me out on my bullshit. Aside from Scotty, she’s pretty much my best friend. Despite not knowing if I’ll be returning to Winawana when the wedding is over, I really don’t want to lose her friendship when this is all said and done.
