Chapter Eleven

Adele

Adele still couldn’t put her finger on why she woke up with a sick feeling swirling around in her stomach. It was a nagging sense of discomfort, like when she left the house and couldn’t remember if she’d left her flat iron plugged in. Only, she couldn’t quite put her finger on the source of this.

It had started when Easton walked into the kitchen the night before.

Her arms had been around Elton, her cheek pressed to his back in somewhat of an awkward, but also totally intimate, hug. The realization of how much she enjoyed being with the twin who always drove her crazy had unfolded slowly over the night. It culminated in that kitchen embrace and his rare vulnerability.

Then Easton stood there, staring. Or, at least, she imagined that he was staring. Even though Adele had been the one with the feelings, not Easton—at least, not that he ever let on—her brain stuttered to a stop. She felt like she had been caught. Like she was somehow cheating on the guy she’d been crushing on … with his brother.

It made no sense. She could logically accept this. And yet, when her eyes met Easton’s while her arms were wrapped around Elton, that’s exactly how she felt.

Which led to her jumping away from Elton and giving an overly affectionate hug to Easton. Oh, and inviting him to watch the movie with them. Even though the last thing she wanted was Easton joining what had started to feel like a cozy date.

That led to Adele feeling another layer of guilt and confusion. Especially when Elton gave some poor excuse about being tired and stomped up to bed before she could say one thing about it. Easton hadn’t said one word, not that Adele gave him much of a choice when she started babbling about needing to get home. She had practically run out of the house, without even so much as getting one brownie.

Her stomach growled at the thought, and she groaned. If she had been smart, she would have at least taken a warm brownie for the road. Or the whole pan. Later, she was meeting Cilla at the Boyd farm with the wedding planner to hammer out details about the ceremony and reception.

Which meant … seeing Elton. Maybe Easton too.

Adele needed to sort out her feelings, and she needed to do it fast. She slipped on a pair of bright green flats and locked up the house. If she didn’t have to admit that Cilla was right, Adele would have already called her best friend to spill about her feelings for Elton. But maybe she needed some impartial ears. Someone who hadn’t known them all since high school.

Maybe Kat? Adele was meeting her for coffee to plan out content for the month. But maybe there would be time for a little girl talk.

After they were settled with their coffees, Adele realized with a start that Jem wasn’t there. “Where’s your little lady?”

“With my mom. It feels so weird
