“I’m sorry, what?” I asked.
Shay burst out laughing. “Crazy, right? I would’ve died of embarrassment.”
“She did faint,” Evie added dryly.
“I don’t know if I could get over it if I met a guy that way,” I offered.
Valentina, whose cheeks were almost as red as her hair, let out a little laugh.
“As you can see, they got over the vibrator incident,” Shay offered.
“Seriously now. You ordered a vibrator in the mail, and Lucas opened it by accident? You’re not making this up?” I queried.
Valentina’s curls bounced on her shoulders as she shook her head. “Definitely not making it up.”
“I don’t think Valentina knows how to lie,” Evie chimed in.
Although Valentina had been working at the lodge and handling all of the bookkeeping and accounting, I didn’t know her too well. Dani had hired her after I’d started traveling. Now that I’d had a chance to spend some time with her, I liked her. She had a refreshing openness to her.
“I’m happy for Lucas. He’s always been such a nice guy,” I said.
“I know, and he’s ridiculously in love with Valentina,” Evie added.
“No more so than Dawson’s in love with you,” I offered. “Seems like everybody fell in love while I was gone.”
Shay swung her arm around my shoulders and squeezed. “You’ll find the right guy. I never thought I would.”
I looked into her warm eyes and smiled. “I’m so glad you moved here. You deserve the best, and Jackson’s perfect for you.”
They’d married just this spring, and I’d made it home for a weekend for the wedding. We didn’t comment on it because there was no need, but Shay had been through hell with her violent and abusive ex. I’d worried I would lose her completely as she slowly pulled away from all of her friendships, but after a particularly brutal assault by her ex, Shay had called me. I’d insisted she come and stay at the farm even though I’d known I was planning to leave for a while.
That move set the wheels in motion for her and Jackson to fall in love just as I always thought they should.
“That’s nice you’re so happy for me, but my point is you can find someone too,” Shay added.
I shrugged. “Maybe or maybe not. I don’t have the best luck with men.”
“Neither did I,” Shay said with a nudge of her elbow in my side.
“Where is Dani?” I suddenly asked. I’d been expecting her to show any minute.
“She wasn’t feeling good. I think she’s coming down with a cold,” Evie offered. “Wade told all of us we needed to come out here for dinner. Apparently, the guys are meeting us here.”
My heartbeat kicked up, and I wondered if the guys included Mack. Ever since I’d seen him this afternoon in Jackson’s office, I’d been impatient for tonight when darkness fell and I could see him. Considering that I’d spent almost twenty-four hours a day with him for the past several weeks, I missed him.
Which was ridiculous. The waitress stopped to take our dinner orders, and while she was circling the table, the guys arrived.
