Say Something

Dedication

To my wine girls. You know who you are. For all the laughter at inappropriate moments, the secrets told and kept, and the advice that is—more often than not—spot on. My life is better because I call you my friends.

Prologue

Georgie Russell picked up a couple of paper plates and threw them away. Another New Year’s Eve was winding down. While she had enjoyed this one—grateful to spend it with her friends—it also made her sort of sad.

Not just for herself, but for her girlfriends. She was in a house surrounded by some of the most wonderful people she’d ever known and yet it felt like all of them were swimming in a sea of loneliness and regrets.

Then Zoey had suggested they come up with resolutions, and while Georgie thought that was fine for her friends, she was a little bit worried about that vow to turn over a new leaf working for her. She’d always sucked at committing to something in January that might mean squat to her by September. She was more comfortable as a fly-by-the-seat-of-her-pants kind of gal.

But hopefully that would change. It needed to change. Because this year she knew what she wanted now would be the same thing she wanted in September. And the September after that. And…

Georgie grinned as she recalled how much fun they’d had this evening. Damn, she was blessed with great girlfriends and she definitely saw the value of this idea for the other women. Over the course of the night, she’d seen a spark of hope emerge in all their faces. Georgie had to hand it to Zoey. She’d found the perfect way to keep everyone’s spirits up considering they were six single women facing yet another year alone. Georgie suspected none of them had been particularly happy about the fact they had no plans for New Year’s, even though they pretended otherwise.

Kristen came into the kitchen and bumped Georgie’s hip in a friendly manner. “What’s up with you? Wine usually makes you chattier as the night rolls on, not quieter.”

Georgie shrugged, trying to shake off her uncharacteristic lethargy. The girls counted on her to bring them up, but tonight she was too distracted. “I’m cool.”

Kristen crossed her arms and leaned against the doorframe, blocking the exit. “Tell me more about this resolution of yours.”

Georgie winced. “I thought we agreed they weren’t resolutions. I can’t do anything that even remotely resembles taking a vow.”

Kristen snorted, then quickly tried to hide her response with her hand.

Georgie rolled her eyes. “You can laugh, smartass. It’s not like we’re not all aware that Georgie left three guys standing at the altar. I’m in serious contention for Runaway Bride of the Century.”

She expected Kristen to laugh again, but her friend’s face sobered up instead. “I have to admit I’ve always been curious about this. Your trips to the chapel of love all happened before we were friends. Were the grooms actually standing at the altar when you took off?”

Georgie shrugged. “I guess. Maybe.”

“Maybe?”

“Depends on what you consider an altar.
