CHAPTER 29

Arianne

After a busy weekend filled with pampering and shopping, I make my way from the kitchen to the living room with a glass of red wine in hand after polishing off a delicious Italian meal.

My phone rings.

I rush to the coffee table, drop the glass, snatch it and answer the video call as I plop myself on the couch.

“Phoebe!” I cheer when her smiling face appears on my screen.

“Ooohhhh! Your hair is amazing on camera.”

“It’s not too blonde?” I ask, swirling a strand around my finger.

“No. It’s not like it’s platinum blonde or anything that dramatic. It’s a stunning shade. It brings out your brown eyes.”

“Thank you. I hesitated at first, but I’m thrilled with the result. Giuseppe said dark blonde highlights complement my complexion much more than the chunky blonde highlights I’ve been sporting since Silicon Valley.”

“I’m so glad you didn’t cancel. Giuseppe is one of the best stylists in LA. His waiting list is ridiculous. The man knows his stuff. Without him, I’d still be a mousy brunette instead of this,” she says, shaking her dark chocolate brown hair with a flattering bang. “It seems you’ve also scored in the wardrobe department. Andrea worked her magic.”

Phoebe has been extinguishing fires since she landed in Seattle on Friday morning. This is the first time we’ve had a chance to catch up. I’ve been updating her via a series of text messages, including photos.

“She’s amazing. I love everything I bought. I even got all new makeup. Why not, right? The spa day yesterday was heaven. I feel like a new woman. I’m happy I listened to you and I didn’t cancel.”

“Look at you!”

“I know, right?”

“You’ll look smashing at your party on Tuesday night.”

“Oh, that again,” I roll my eyes.

“Are you saying you don’t want to see me?”

“I totally want to see you and you know it. I also can’t wait to meet Oscar after hearing so much about him. It’s just the whole idea of having a party in my honor…” I shrug.

“Look at it as a ‘have a great trip’ sendoff party since the next day you’re flying out to Germany. That way you won’t feel so self-conscious about it.”

She knows me well.

“You’re funny.”

“Speaking of pending business trips with your super sexy and very naughty boss-slash-client, did you two hookup over the weekend?”

“No. He spent the weekend with a blonde and her best friend—”

“Motherfucker!” Phoebe’s eyes shine bright with fury.

“Calm down, guard dog. He was spending the weekend with his niece and her dog.”

“Oh,” the frown on her forehead disappears, replaced with wonderment. “Okay, that’s officially the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard.”

“I know, right?”

“What a dichotomy––the caring uncle and the unwavering lover.”

He’s not my lover, but I don’t correct her. I also don’t admit my ovaries nearly burst when Beckett told me of his plans.

“I was worried Beckett might be cut from the same cloth as Chance,” Phoebe says.

“Mom has the same concerns.”

“What do you mean?”

I tell her about my conversation with Mom when she called me to tell me Mariah was in Philly flaunting her big ass engagement ring.
