“Why are you pushing this so hard?”
With a heavy sigh, Jae grabbed my shoulders. “Because despite what you keep insisting, I know you, and you seem interested. Intrigued, at the very least, and I think you should take a chance. Take him for a spin. Try on the shoes.YOLO. You know, all that cliché crap.”
“Jae.” My exasperation came out more like a groan than a word, and she narrowed her eyes at me.
“High school was a long time ago, Mags. You’re both adults now.You’vechanged. Why’s it so hard for you to believe he might have? But so help me, if he pulls some bullshit, I’ve watched enough crime TV to know how to hide a body.”
“You’re crazy, but I love you,” I said with a laugh, pulling her into a tight embrace before grabbing my purse from the hook by the door.
Big girl panties on, I took a deep breath and headed out into the shop to meet Taylor.
“All set?” he asked when I came into view.
“Yeah. I’m parked out back, though, so I’ll just meet you at the manor, okay?”
“Sure thing,” he said with a smile.
Turning, I hurried through the kitchen and out the back door, my heart racing as I mentally cataloged everything in my closet.
What the hell does someone wear on a date-not-date?!
As soon as I closed my door, I fired off a text to Maddie.
Magnolia
Are you home?
Madison
Aren’t I always? *crying face emoji* What’s up?
Magnolia
Code red: I have a thing and need an outfit stat.
Madison
A thing?
Magnolia
Yes, a thing. I’ll explain when I get home, but please help me find something to wear!
Madison
*saluting emoji*
“You’re doingwhat?” Maddie practically screeched, disbelief radiating from every pore as I explained where I was going and withwhom.
“Yep,” I replied, popping thepwith more force than was probably necessary.
“I—I don’t even know where to begin with that one, Mags.Taylor Hallows?Really?”
“Yeah… do you remember what I told you happened on Halloween?”
“Uh-huh,” she said, narrowing her eyes skeptically at me before rifling through my closet.
“Well… uh… I found out who it was.”
