Page 77 of Brides and Brothers
A fresh batch of tears poured down Macey’s cheeks, and Camille pulled her into a tight hug. “Do you want me to beat them up?”
Raina opened the bathroom door, her eyes filled with tears of her own. “No, I want to be the one to beat them up.”
They took in Raina’s zero-muscle figure. Daisha said, “No offense, but those Peterson boys are made of rock. If you want revenge, you’d better think of something else.”
Macey nodded again. “I agree. We need to think of something. Revenge would make me happy.”
“I wasn’t being serious,” Daisha said with a short laugh. “What are you going to do, slash their tires?”
Wiping her eyes dry, Raina answered, “I can’t speak for Macey, but I’m willing to give Cade a second chance. He might have made a mistake in asking this woman out, but he never followed through with it, and neither did Daegan. Cade has been amazing in every other way. I don’t want to kill him, just hurt him a little. You know, teach him a lesson on how a woman deserves to be treated. After that, we’ll see how committed he really is to me.”
Macey’s eyes flashed with some emotion Camille couldn’t decipher. “Brilliant! I have an idea, and it’s so completely perfect!”
Not wanting to choose sides, Camille pointed to Daisha. “Maybe you should seek your den mother’s approval. Is there any blood involved?”
“Not unless you count internally,” Macey assured her. “Just a little prick to the hearts to prove their level of commitment.”
Camile winced. Things had finally felt like they were smoothing out for some of the couples. Why did this issue have to resurface? “Shouldn’t you try to talk things out first?” She stared at Daisha, begging with her eyes for Daisha to support her peaceful and very adultish method.
Daisha shook her head. “Sorry, Camille, but these guys have some serious growing up to do. Ladies, you have my stamp of approval. How can I help?”
