"Not at all." She tilted her head. "Think about it. You’re clearly torn between them, and forcing yourself to choose might just make you miserable. But if they’re both willing…"
I stared at her, my mind spinning.
"You really think Finn and Aidan would just… agree to share me?"
"Well, I don’t know about Aidan, but Finn gives me ‘I’d-do-anything-for-you’ vibes. And Aidan? He’s stubborn, but if he loves you enough, he might consider it," she smirked.
"That’s insane. They hate each other," I shook my head.
"They don’t have to love each other," Sienna said casually. "They just have to love you."
"I can’t believe we’re even having this conversation," I exhaled, rubbing my temples.
"Welcome to the modern world, Amelia. Relationships don’t have to be one-size-fits-all."
I stayed quiet, my mind a whirlwind of emotions.
"Look," Sienna said, leaning forward, "you don’t have to decide anything right now. But if you want both of them, you need to be honest with yourself and with them."
"And what if they say no?" I swallowed hard.
"Then at least you’ll know where you stand, instead of tearing yourself apart trying to choose," she gave me a knowing look.
Just as I was about to say something, my phone buzzed on the couch beside me.
I glanced down and saw Finn’s name glowing on the screen. My stomach fluttered as I hesitated before unlocking it.
I can’t stop thinking about you. I know you said you needed time, but I’d love to take you to dinner tomorrow. Just the two of us.
I swallowed hard, rereading the message as warmth spread through my chest. Even after everything, he was still reaching out, still fighting for me.
"Well? What does lover boy want?" Sienna nudged me.
I rolled my eyes but couldn’t hide my smile as I read the text aloud.
"Oh. My. God. He wants to woo you over dinner," Sienna gasped dramatically, clutching her chest.
"Sienna, please," I snorted.
"No, no, this is adorable. My best friend is out here collecting men like infinity stones while I can’t even get one to text me back!" She grinned mischievously.
"That’s not true." I laughed, shaking my head.
"It is so true," she groaned, tossing a pillow at me. "Meanwhile, you have two ridiculously attractive men completely obsessed with you."
"It’s not that simple," I bit my lip, staring at the message again.
"Oh, it’s very simple. You’re out here thriving, and I’m just sitting here being your emotional support bestie. Seriously, Amelia, how does it feel to live my dream?"
I chuckled, but as Finn’s message lingered, Aidan’s face flashed in my mind, unshakable, and I knew this was getting messy with no clear way out.
Sienna leaned back against the couch, watching me closely as I stared at Finn’s message.
"Okay," she said, crossing her arms. "So, are you going to dinner with him?"
I sighed. "I don’t know."
"You should go," she said, nudging me. "See how you feel around him. Maybe it’ll help clear things up."
