Page 48 of Georgia-Blue & Hudson

“We are if we ever get there,” I mutter.

Georgia kisses her parents goodbye and punches Beau on the arm, probably for siding with me. Autumn comes out of the main house to wave us off, and gives Georgia a hug.

Georgia doesn’t let that one die down as we finally get on the road and they’ve waved us off. “I don’t see what I’ve donefor everyone to keep wishing you luck for spending the weekend with me,” she goes on, because apparently, she can’t let it go.

“You can be a handful,Princess. Haven’t you heard?”

“No, I haven’t heard. And I don’t see how,” she humphs.

I chuckle lightly under my breath. “Probably because you’re the major meddler in the family and always getting up in people’s business.”

“Meddler!” she all but shrieks. “And whose business am I getting in?”

“You are well known for having your two cents worth in everything.”

“Ha!” she chortles. “If it weren’t for me, Gabe and Skye wouldn’t have probably even crossed paths. I gave him her number when I heard she was in town and he needed a new nanny. I also knew for sure Gray was going to find the love of his life as soon as he got back to Stoney, that was before he even met Hart.”

“I suppose you also knew Brook and Eden were going to get back together?” I quirk an eyebrow. I’m well aware of the woo-woo stuff she has going on and that she has those weird tarot cards and loves crystals, yoga and meditation.

“It’s funny you should mention it! I always knew Brook and Eden were a sure thing before they even did, and don’t even get me started on all the encouragement I gaveBeau and Autumn getting together, once I sensed the vibe between them.”

“See, all that there could be seen as meddling in people's lives, or thinking you know everything,” I mutter the last part.

“Or helping them get together when they might not necessarily take the plunge. I wouldn’t call that meddling. And I don’t know if you know this about me, but I have a sixth sense for things. An insight, if you will.”

“An insight?” I balk. “What kind of sixth sense insight do you have?”

“Intuition.” She taps her nose like she holds the world's biggest secret. Sometimes she’s so fucking adorable.

It takes all the strength in my face not to show any of what I’m feeling.

“Oh, I know you don’t believe in anything other than what you can see in front of your face, Huds, but there’s more out there than meets the eye.”

“Fate and all that?” I say, and I’ve no idea why that shoots out of my mouth.

Even Georgia seems surprised as I feel her look at me. “Yes. Among other things.”

“So you believe in all that gobbley gook?”

“You can mock me, but some things are just written in the stars. Even Gabriel will attest to that, he knows all about when stars align and how the planets can affect people's moods.”

I sigh. “There’s no mocking about it. You can believe whatever you want to, I’m not stopping you. But if we’re going to spend the whole weekend together plus the extra days you booked, then we better lay down some ground rules.”

She sits back in her seat, seemingly undeterred by that statement as she pulls her sunglasses over her eyes. “Do your worst.”

I glance at her. “Fine. No weird woo-woo shit around me, alright? That means that smudging thing you always try to do on me and those cards that don’t mean shit.”

“Woo woo? God, you sound like one of my brothers. And what’s wrong with a little sage smudging? Remember how I said you sometimes don’t give off the best vibes, Huds? Well, it helps clear stagnant energy.”

“Well, keep your smudging to yourself—” I pause. “You saying I have bad vibes again?”

She laughs, not looking at me. “I didn’t say bad vibes. Yours are just a little different at times.”

“Well, whatever, but I don’t need sageing, okay?”

“Fine, no cleansing all your stagnant energy and blockers potentially holding you back from everything. What else?”

I glance at her. She still looks ahead out of the window, oblivious to her own rantings. And I don’t bite on any more of that. She can think what she likes, my vibe is just fine by me.
