Midge

It’s nearly ten o’clock when my phone rings. When London’s name pops up on the screen, I brace myself for what I know this conversation is going to be about.

“Hello?”

“Hey, whatcha doin’?”

“Nothin’. Just got out of the shower. How was dinner?”

I cringe, regretting the words as soon as they leave my mouth. I should’ve kept away from any topic involving the Kingston brothers.

“It was good. You should come sometime.”

I drop onto the bed. “Yeah, but it’s a family thing. And before you say it, I know you’re not family, but you’re dating Royce, so shush.”

She laughs. “It’s not like that’s a rule. Elijah would love to have you. I don’t know why you haven’t taken up any of my invitations.”

“Just feels weird, I guess.”

“Whatever, weirdo. Anyway,” she says, dragging the word out. “Cillian was at your place today.”

“Yes, I know. I was here, too,” I say with a laugh.

“To you show you pictures he had on his phone.” She lets the statement hang between us, like she’s expecting me to pick up on something.

“Yeah, pictures of his painting.” It nearly sounds like a question, because I never saw them. Based on what they had to say, I assume that’s what they were, but I’m just now realizing he didn’t show them to me.

“Right, but he has your number, so he could’ve just texted them to you.”

Shit. “Well, yeah. I don’t know why he came over.” God, I’m a terrible liar.

“Mmhmm.” I can tell she’s smiling. “Maybe he wanted to see you.”

“You’re crazy,” I say with a laugh. “Cillian is not interested in me.”

“I think you’re the one who’s crazy. If you’re interested in that man, lock him down now, cause like I said, girls are gonna be lining up for him like it’s goddamn Black Friday.”

“But you know how I feel about relationships,” I say, knowing I’d probably be jealous and annoyed if he was with anybody else. “And we don’t even know where he stands on them, considering what he just went through.”

“Yeah, but Midge, are you really planning on being single for the rest of your life? Yes, a lot of men suck and don’t know how to treat their women, but look at Cillian’s case. Zoe was the one who cheated on him! Women suck, too. There will be a man out there who treats you like a queen, but you have to give them more than three dates to prove that.”

I breathe down the line. “I know.”

“All right, well I’ll leave you alone about it for now. You know I love you. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“I love you, too. See you later.”

After we hang up, I climb under the covers and do a lot of thinking.

Since I broke it off with Matthew, I’m aware of the shift that happened. I used to believe in that fairytale type of love—the love my parents have. I loved to be loved, and I thought Matthew loved me. I loved him more than any other guy in my life. I gave him all of me.
