“Leaving already?” I watched as Hailey tossed her mess of belongings into her duffel.

“Not that I wouldn’t love to stay in this thrilling town with you forever, but I promised Cade I’d stop by to see him.”

I groaned. “Cade? Really? Do you have to get mixed up with that guy?”

“That guy is a king. Aren’t you the one who usually reminds me to be polite to royalty?”

“That’s when we’re talking about Levi. The real king.” Hailey should have known better than to get me started on Cade. He’d only gotten the title because the queen had made an unfortunate deal.

She shook her head. “Whatever. If you decide to head back to New Orleans in the next few weeks meet me at Cade’s. I’d love the company for the drive back.”

“I’m not going back that soon.”

“Fine.” She walked outside to her Jeep. “Tell Clyde I said goodbye.”

I laughed. “The poor kid’s going to be depressed.”

“He’ll get over it. Maybe he’ll finally give that waitress a chance. They’d make a good couple.”

“That’s very un-Hailey of you.”

“What? I like seeing people happy.”

“You’re not into matchmaking.”

“And this isn’t matchmaking, I’m just wishing them well.”

“You still never told me the real reason you’re here.”

“Sure I did. I was checking on you and taking a break.”

“I’m going to find out eventually.” There was no way Hailey came just to check on me. There was always another reason.

“If you want to get all conspiracy theorist on me then do it. It’s not my problem.”

I went with one last hunch. “You haven’t talked about Allie much.”

She looked away. “I’ve got to go.”

“In other words you guys are in a fight.”

“I’m leaving. I don’t have time to talk about it.”

“If you had time to come all the way out here, you have time to talk.”

“Not necessarily.”

“Hailey. Out with it.”

“We got in a ridiculously stupid fight over nothing, and now everything’s awkward.”

“Awkward how? Like you haven’t apologized?”

“Me apologize?” She put a hand to her chest. “Why would you assume I’m the one to blame?”

“She’s the queen.”

“So?” Her eyes narrowed. She was getting ready to let me have it. “This is about friend Allie, not queen Allie.”

“They’re the same thing.” I’d dealt with the same situation myself. Being best friends with your boss wasn’t always easy to handle.

“I’m sick of it.”

“Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t apologize.”

“There’s nothing to apologize for. It’s not like that.”

“No?” I rested my hand on the hood of her Jeep. Surprisingly she didn’t yell at me for it. She was annoying protective of her car. “Then what kind of fight was it?”

“No making fun of me.”

“Now you have to tell me.” I smiled. It took a lot to get Hailey embarrassed.

“She wants me to be a godmother.”

“But you’re not even religious…”

“That’s what I said, but she explained she meant more in the ‘be the person the kid can go to for help and stuff.’”

“Ok, sounds reasonable. What was the fight?”

“I said no.”

“Why?”

“Why? Because I’m not the kind of person kids should come to for anything. I can barely figure out my own life, and there are so many better people for that job.
