Chapter 11

“Kate Middleton of Sedona?” Vicki laughed. “Really?”

“That’s what he said,” I replied.

We were in our cottage now, surrounded by takeout from Fifth Avenue Bistro. We lounged in our bed, and Downton Abbey ran in the background. Vicki deliberately stuffed her mouth full of rice, talked around it, and tossed her head.

“Do I look like a Duchess?” she garbled.

I laughed. “Prince William doesn’t know what he’s missing. Which is good, cause otherwise I’d have to kick his ass, and I don’t know if that’s an international crime.”

“I don’t know what happened to that guy,” she said. “When he was young, he was good looking, and cool, and he was literally Prince Charming.”

“And I want to hear this, why?” I replied.

She laughed. “Are you jealous I’m going to run off with Prince William?”

“I wasn’t until now,” I chuckled.

“I actually thought about it,” she said.

My eyes widened. “You’re joking.”

“No,” she said. “He’s not a whole lot older than we are, and before he was married, he was the most eligible bachelor in the world. Every girl our age thought about it. So, I applied for a study abroad in London, thought I had as much a chance as anyone.”

“Really?” I asked. “Was this before or after your groupie phase?”

“Okay,” she said. “I was never a groupie. I just liked going to shows, and loved the energy, music, and people. And my study abroad attempt was right in the middle of it all. I thought I’d see some cool British underground bands, too.”

“So, the future King of England was going to marry an American punk rocker?” I clarified. “God had better save the queen, after the coronary that would give her.”

“Eh,” she said. “It was just a fun fantasy. What girl doesn’t want to think she has the opportunity to be a real life princess?”

“And then you met me,” I said.

“And then I met you,” she said. “And besides, Prince William kind of lost it somewhere along the way. I don’t know, once he hit thirty, he just… Ugh. I don’t know what happened to that guy.”

“Married life is what happened to him,” I said.

“Is that your idea of what marriage does to people?” she asked.

“I don’t know,” I said. “Maybe to some people, not all people.”

She cuddled up close to me, “Do me a favor.”

“What?” I responded.

“Don’t ever let us get like that,” she said.

“What do you mean?” I asked. “Be in our thirties?”

“No,” she said. “One of those couples that changes so much as they age, they lose a part of themselves.”

“We won’t be like that,” I said. “We’ll be like us.”

She laughed but didn’t say anything. Something had changed with her. She would usually respond to that with some sort of witty retort. But tonight, she just leaned into me, and we watched wealthy British aristocrats in the 1920s navigate their love lives.

Tonight, she had her dark hair piled on top of her head in the sexiest messy bun I had ever seen. She wore a blue tank top, and black spandex boyshort underwear.
