âYou stole those flowers,â Lana muttered, standing in the doorway of my old bedroom. Iâd started the arduous task of cleaning out the room so Iâd have a place to stay, and the sunflowers were a nice addition.
âI didnât steal them. They were meant for me, anyway.â
Lana shrugged. âYou canât be sure.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âThe guy gets around.â
My stomach tightened. I knew Lana didnât say it to be mean. Coming from her, it would be more of an informational tidbit than a stab. Now from Vera, it would be an entirely different story.
âHave you actually seen him get around, though?â I asked.
Lana smiled and took a few steps into my room. âNo, I havenât. Iâve just heard things.â
Now, my interest was completely piqued.
âWhat kinds of things?â I sat on the edge of my full-size bed.
âThat heâs good at what he does.â Lana flashed a wicked grin.
âAnd who did you hear that from?â
She glanced around the room as if someone might hear. âViolet.â
My brows shot up in surprise. âThey never did anything.â
Lana frowned. âSays who?â
âSays Garrett.â
âHow did she even come up?â
âWhen he took me out to dinner, I ran into her. We exchanged numbers.â
âAnd you believe him?â she asked.
âI have no reason not to.â I glanced at the wall of boxes. âAnd itâs not like it really matters. I live in New York.â
Lana smiled, and softness etched her features like when we were younger. âThat could make it more fun.â
âI suppose.â I let out a sigh and put my hands behind me and leaned back. âBut then it could get messy.â
âIt doesnât have to be that way. You could just look at Garrett as a fun attraction out in Washington.â
I laughed nervously and shook my head. âThatâs the problem. Iâm not sure I could.â
Lana narrowed her eyes on me, studying my features. âYou kissed him.â
My cheeks flamed and I shrugged.
âYou did.â
âIt might have happened, but only once.â
Lana moved into my room at lightning speed, shoved a pile of clothes off a chair, and took a seat.
âAnd youâre just now telling me?â She looked completely exasperated and so much like the sister I grew up with.
A seed of hope sprouted inside, and I grinned. âI didnât want to jinx it.â
âJinx it?â She shook her head. âHow could you possibly jinx a kiss?â
I laughed. âI donât know, but Iâm sure if it can be done, I could do it.â
âWas he a good kisser?â
âBeyond...â I glanced at the sunflowers Iâd stolen from the back of his truck and smiled. âItâs probably a good thing that Iâm headed back to New York.â
Lana drew a deep breath and bit her bottom lip. âWhen do you think youâre leaving?â
âTrying to boot me out already?â I smoothed the comforter with my hands and looked up at my sister.
She let out a sigh and shook her head. âNo, Iâm really liking your company. It gets dull spending time with Vera all the time.â
âDonât let her hear you say that,â I teased.
âIâm sure she feels the same way.â She shrugged.
