Chapter Thirteen

Several days had gone by and while I’d heard from Billy, I hadn’t seen him. He’d had to go to Seattle to take care of some last minute business details before his long road trip. I’d been mostly following doctor’s orders and staying off my feet, but there were a few times I’d gone out with Lucky and my sister.

Right now, I was in the living room, sitting on the recliner with my foot propped up on pillows.

“I think dad would love Billy,” Stacy said, plopping down on the couch.

My eyes flew to my sister who looked oblivious.

“Well, considering the two don’t have a reason to meet, I’d say it’s a rather moot point.”

She shrugged. “I’m just saying.”

I adjusted my leg on the pile of pillows and let out a sigh. “You do realize he’s leaving in like three days, right?” It was a fact that was impossible for me to shake. I’d wanted to pretend I wasn’t intrigued with Billy, but I wasn’t very good at lying to myself.

The truth was that I thought he was endlessly fascinating, smart, and extremely sexy. I knew there was something hidden under the many layers of Billy that I might not ever uncover, but it made me wonder if what he was ignoring was the real reason he didn’t want to date.

“And you’re leaving in two.” I clutched my heart. “Bet you can’t wait to spend your next vacation with me.”

She ignored me. “Why won’t you let yourself imagine a little more than a date at a time with him?”

“Well, let’s see. I don’t live here and he’s leaving town.”

“But he’ll be back.”

“And I’ll be gone, and I really don’t think he’s looking for anything serious.”

“It’s not like you live in West Virginia. You live across the Sound from him, not across the country.”

“We’ve been on two dates. One was out to dinner and the other was to the orthopedic physician. I don’t think that’s enough to start imagining a life together,” I scoffed. “In fact, if he heard us, I’d be absolutely mortified.”

The doorbell rang, which completely startled me since I hadn’t seen anyone through the window. Lucky hopped off the couch and began doing his circles to the front door before my sister had a chance to get up.

“Are you expecting anyone?” my sister asked, and I shook my head.

“Lucky, quiet.”

Lucky stopped barking and sat down as my sister opened the door.

“May I help you?” she asked, glancing back at me before returning her gaze to whoever was in front of her.

“Is Maddie here?” A woman asked.

“No.” My sister shook her head. “It’s just me and my sister.”

“I could have sworn this was the address my daughter gave me.”

A car pulled up, and I saw Holly jump out of the passenger side as Maddie slowly hoisted herself out of the driver’s side.

“Oh, there they are,” the woman said, sounding relieved.

My sister turned away from the door and gave me a confused look, which I returned.

“I’m assuming our little Tiffany
