Chapter Twenty-six

Reece

“He sure has been happy lately,” Ella says over the music.

We’re standing in the wings, watching them play as we do at every concert. “What’s not to be happy about? They’re killing it.”

I can feel her staring at me even though I’m not looking at her. I know what she’s insinuating, but I’m not biting. Mainly because I’m not sure what to do with the information.

He is happier. I’m just not sure if it’s because we no longer hate each other, or if it’s something more.

I don’t trust myself. What he said to me is true. My heart does live in my vagina. I’ve fallen in love with every guy I’ve ever dated. Or thought I had. I don’t think I really knew what love was until Garrett. And since my divorce, random hookups are all I’ve allowed myself. But that stopped when I slept with Garrett.

He hasn’t shown interest in sleeping with me again, and I’m embarrassed to admit it kills me a little. But here I am, pretending to be okay with us just being friends.

Ella leans close. “Liam was telling me how Garrett hasn’t brought any women back to his hotel room lately. Don’t you find that interesting?”

“Maybe he’s just being more discreet about it.”

“Nope.”

“He and I are friends, Ella. Nothing more.”

“Friends with a whole lot of history.” She glances around to see if anyone is listening. “Friends who had a one-nighter a few weeks ago.”

My jaw goes slack. “He told you?”

“Liam figured it out. Garrett wasn’t going to say anything, and I don’t think the others know. My lips are sealed. I’m good at keeping secrets.”

“It was only the one time. We were drunk.”

“And yet that night changed the whole dynamic between you.”

“We decided we were tired of fighting.”

“If you think you’re fooling anyone, you aren’t. We all see the way you two stare at each other.”

“That’s ridiculous.”

“Follow me,” she says, pulling me over to the stairs in the wings that gives us a better view of Garrett. She climbs up a few. “Come up here. I’m willing to bet he makes eye contact with you and doesn’t look away for at least fifteen seconds.”

I follow her up. “You want to bet, huh? What am I going to win?”

“Nothing. Just the satisfaction that I’m right. I’ll stand back here so—” She loses her balance, falls backward, and disappears.

“Ella!”

I trot down the stairs to find her lying on the floor, cradling her left arm. Jeremy and a few of the crew run over to help. I stifle a gasp when I see her forearm.

“It’s broken for sure,” someone says. “Arms don’t curve like that.”

Tears stream down her face, and she tries not to scream. I crouch by her side to offer support. “We should call 911.”

Jeremy calls out to someone, then kneels. “An ambulance might take a while, but the limo’s out back. Tom will go with you and make sure you get there okay. I’ll let everyone know what happened after the show.”

Tom wraps her arm in his T-shirt and then carries her down the hall.
