NANCIE

T he next morning is not a stellar one. At least not at first. I look around my bedroom but don’t see Georgio. Did he leave last night? My memory is like a jigsaw puzzle at the moment. All the pieces are there but I need to fit them together to see the whole picture.

I remember wanting to kiss Nate Nicholson at the door. I also remember throwing myself at poor Georgio, afterward. Oh God, I passed out on him while he was going down on me. I’m officially the worst best friend in the world.

I pull a face, wondering just how much damage control there is to do. Was I a sloppy drunk at Rita’s or did the wheels simply fall off once I was inside the Inn? Please let it have been the latter.

Ugh, why did I drink so much and why did I have to spill my guts to Georgio? We agreed a long time ago to put our feelings aside for one another and now here I am reneging on our deal, unloading all of my pent-up love for him—and Nate all in one night. I’m an asshole!

It was too much. It’s still too much. I have to fix this.

I feel the frown forming on my forehead. Then again, he did go down on me so maybe he was okay with it.

Pushing aside the panic attack that’s brewing, I head down the stairs to the kitchen. Time to face el musico. Georgio is sitting at the island on his phone, nursing a cup of coffee. He looks handsome which only makes it worse.

I run my hands through my hair and instantly feel stupid. I should have at least jumped in the shower.

Too late.

“Hey,” I murmur, shuffling by him in the direction of the Inn’s industrial looking coffee maker.

“Morning, Nancie.” He temporarily lifts his eyes and smiles which puts me at ease…ever so slightly.

After pouring a cup and inhaling the first two burning hot sips to supercharge my brain, I take a seat opposite of him.

I shift awkwardly on the stool and wait for him to look up.

“It’s fine, Nance,” he says at the same time I say, “Sorry for last night.”

We both laugh and I take another sip of my coffee, burning my tongue once again.

Damn it.

“Want to talk about it?” he asks.

“Nope.”

He looks up at me. The look is one I know well. I’m being ridiculous.

“I know. I know. Don’t say it. I cracked at the seams, okay. Let’s move on.”

He tilts his head a little, his look is pitying and I instantly hate it. “But it’s obvious you’re confused.”

My shoulders slump. It’s pointless to try to avoid this conversation. “Fine. Yes. It was just spending the evening with Nate and his family. It brought up a lot of my abandonment issues.”

“Abandonment issues?”

“You know, my real father didn’t stick around. My mother bailed when I was twelve. Nate, when I was sixteen. Then Carter let me stay with him but only as a stand-in for
