Chapter 16

“Zoya? Zoya! Over here!”

Zoya frowned as she stepped inside Java Nectar the next morning for coffee with her younger cousin, Sofia. It was way too early for that much enthusiasm—oh, God, now Sofia was waving one of those manicured hands at her—and good cheer.

Unraveling her scarf, she headed to the window-side table where Sofia sat, gave her a quick kiss and dropped into a chair.

Sofia was already going full-speed ahead. “Check out my nails, Zee. I’m getting pretty good at these reverse French tips, if I do say so myself. And I like the blue and white color combo. Anyway, guess what? Ethan finally told me he loved me at the wedding!”

“What?” Zoya perked up. The women had discussed this point of concern the other day at the wedding, right before Daniel showed up and sidetracked all conversation. “Sof, that’s awesome! I’m so thrilled for you! Look at you. You’re glowing.”

Sofia made a show of flipping her wavy hair (sans weaves and pieces these days) over her shoulder. “Yes, yes, I know. Ethan makes me glow.”

They both laughed.

Sofia took a sip of her coffee and leaned in. “So now you know everything about me and my personal life. Well, other than Ethan gave me two orgasms this morning. That’s the real secret to great skin, by the way.”

“Sof!” Zoya smacked her forehead, trying to unsee this image.

“Now you know everything about me and my personal life. So I want to hear what’s going on with you and Mr. Sexy. And don’t try to blow me off like you did before.”

Zoya helplessly shook her head and wondered where to begin. After the big blowup yesterday, followed by a sleepless and miserable night, she was no closer to understanding much, if anything, about her relationship with Daniel.

“Daniel and I…”

“Yeeeesssss?”

“We’re really angry at each other. There’s a lot of hard feelings. We haven’t exactly moved on.”

“So you’ve seen him since the wedding?”

“Oh, yeah.” Zoya couldn’t smother a wry grin as she thought about the various ways they’d had sex in the last few days. “I’ve seen him.”

“And you’ve talked?”

“If by talking you mean, ‘Right there! Harder, baby! Yes, yes!,’ then yes, we’ve talked.”

A couple of nearby women glanced around with interest, making Zoya feel like Sally in the deli scene from When Harry Met Sally.

“Oh, my God!” Sofia grinned, looking ecstatically scandalized. “You loose woman! How was it?”

“You’ve had sex with a Harper man,” Zoya said darkly. “Why would you ask me such a stupid question?”

“Lucky bitch.”

“I know.”

“I seriously think Daniel is the hottest of the brothers. I told Ethan I’m leaving him for Daniel.”

“Please don’t do that. Fratricide is a crime. Much as I’d occasionally like to kill Daniel myself, I’d hate to see Ethan do hard time for it.”

“True.” Sofia sobered. “So what’s the issue, Zee? Why are you and Daniel so angry at each other? And don’t give me some generic bad breakup nonsense.”

Zoya opened her mouth, but it wasn’t that easy to just spill her darkest secrets over coffee, especially when her feelings were still so raw from last night.
