“So what did you think of Boyd?”

“What?” My head snaps up from the baby and I glance at Sophie. Am I that bad a liar?

“Boyd? My brother? You met him at the hospital on Monday?”

Oh, okay, whew. “He seemed nice,” I offer. I’m not sure why. ‘Nice’ isn’t really at the top of my descriptive words for Boyd Gallagher. Words like ‘gorgeous,’ ‘cocky,’ ‘nosy,’ ‘fit,’ ‘sophisticated,’ ‘chiseled’ and ‘resourceful’ come to mind. But ‘nice’ works too.

Everly seems to think the two of you would be good together,” she says, trying to dig into my thoughts on the subject.

“Yes, well, Everly also spent fifteen years thinking she and Finn Camden were a perfect match. You can’t always believe her.”

“True enough,” Sophie agrees with a laugh.”

“Hey, do you know why Adele crossed the road?”

“Nope.”

“Yeah. All that is called dating.” She waves a finger in the air. “You’re dating Boyd.”

I think I’m going to throw up.

“You might even be engaged,” Everly continues. “For all you know... Hey, are you pregnant by any chance? Remember how Sophie didn’t know she was pregnant? That might be a thing you can add to your collection of things you don’t know are happening.” Her eyes light up and she places a hand on her chest. “Can I be the godmother?”

“I’m not pregnant.” But I do feel sick.”
