"I never deleted it," I said.
Sam cocked a brow at that.
"A few summers ago, my old phone broke, so I had to get a new one. Noteverythingtransferred. I lost all my contacts. It sucked."
"Oh."
For some reason, the news of my broken phone made Sam's face brighten.
"Sorry to hear that," he said.
"You don't sound sorry," I said.
Sam didn't even try to hide his grin, and I just shook my head.
"Anyway, let's get back to the plan."
"Sounds good," he said.
"You'll also earn my (Scarlett's) undying gratitude." I paused in my reading to look up."That's priceless."
Sam gave a solemn nod.
"And you'll have someone to confide in who won't judge," I finished. "We'll be in this together, Bishop."
"In a fake relationship," he said.
"Yeah."
"While we complete your list, and you help me win my ex back."
"That's right."
"And you don't find that even a little strange?"
I shook my head. "Nope."
"Can you run me through the steps of the plan again?" he asked.
So, I did.
Step1: Fake it. Scarlett and Sam become the new "ItCouple."
Step 2:Create Jealousy. Scarlett and Sam awaken Brisa's green-eyed monster.
Step 3: R & R. Make Brisaregretletting Sam go andrememberwhy she fell for him.
Step 4: Second Chance. Provide an opportunity for a reunion/makeup.
Step 5: HEA.
"What's hea?" Sam asked.
"Happily ever after, of course," I said.
"Of course."
"The sarcasm is not appreciated, Bishop."
