“Sorry. I slept through my alarm,” he muttered before dipping into the courtyard.

Kylie watched him disappear into the cluster of her hungover bridal party before turning to me. “So...last night.”

Oh no. She knows I slept with her brother.This was it. Kylie could read people like a book. I didn’t know why I thought I could get away with it.

“What about it?” I squeaked.Way to go, Leah. You totally sound guilty.

Kylie shrugged. “You kind of disappeared there at the end. I looked for you before everyone lined up for the send-off.”

My heart sank. “I was there. I was just in the back of the crowd because?—”

She reached out and touched my forearm. “I’m sorry. I wasn’t trying to make you feel bad or anything. I know this week was probably a lot for you, especially because Joanne was supposed to be here with you.”

The comment stung, and I couldn’t help but wince.

“Shit.” Kylie pressed her fingers against her eyes. “I’m a horrible friend. I shouldn’t have even brought it up.”

“It’s fine,” I said, trying to reassure her. “We were together for a long time, and now we’re not. That’s life. People date. People break up. It’s been that way since the beginning of time. I promise I’m fine.”

In all honesty, I hadn’t minded the wedding week. There were enough things that needed to be done that I had been blissfully distracted from spontaneous crying sessions.

And then the big distraction last night . . .

Getting tipsy with Logan, hooking up, and leaving him alone in his bed had been just what I needed to get my mojo back.

I still felt deliciously sore from our tryst. Admittedly, it had been quite a while since I’d been with an actual human man, and not a silicone substitute.

Kylie cocked her head.

Oh no.

I saw her super-sleuth senses tingling again. She studied my hair, then my day-old makeup.

“Let’s get some food,” I said at the exact moment my stomach lurched from the smell of bacon.

Kylie tapped her lips with a manicured finger. The realization hit her like a ton of bricks. “Oh my God.”

I cringed.Don’t say it. Don’t say it. Don’t say it.

She grabbed my arm and yanked me away from the courtyard door, pulling me behind a pillar. “You totally got some!” she squealed. “You had rebound sex!”

“Will you keep your voice down?” I hissed. “The entire hotel doesn’t need to be privy to my sex life.”

“So, youdidhave sex?!”

I pressed my fingers against my temples. “Don’t act so shocked. It’s not like I’m sixteen. I’m averysingle twenty-eight-year-old woman. I can do as I please.”

“Leah!” Kylie shrieked as she bounced on her toes.

I clapped my hand over her mouth before she could make a scene. “I’m also very,veryhungover. So, keep it down.”

Kylie peeled my palm away. “This means you’re officially over Joanne, and I can totally set you up with someone!”

Well, she kind of facilitated Logan and me being in the same room...

“Wait,” Kylie said. “Did you hook up with someone from my guest list? Who? Was it Bryan’s cousin, Emily? You know—the woman he’s been trying to set you up with? I’m trying to think of all the single people we invited...Was it someone from the vendor staff? I mean, the bartender is single and he’s super cute.”

There was no way in hell I was telling her that I had hooked up with her brother.
