“Freakin’ peppermint ones.”
“Peppermint is his favorite.”
“That’s just gross.”
I shook my head about how my sister and Macie were toward Chad. He couldn’t win with them no matter what he said or did. It’d been that way from the start because my girls believed I was meant to be with somebody else.
“When are you going to ask me how Rhys is doing?” Rachel said, giving me a sly grin.
“I wasn’t going to.”
“Bullshit. You always get around to asking at some point.”
“Fine,” I sighed, acting annoyed. “How is he doing?”
“He’s single again.”
“What?”
“He’s single again.”
“Yeah, I heard you. I’m just…shocked. He and Trisha were supposed to marry at the end of the month.”
“He called off the wedding a week ago after finding out that Trisha lied about being pregnant.”
My stomach sank. “My God, she tried to trap Rhys.”
“Uh-huh.”
“That is beyond pathetic.”
“But that’s Trisha for you. She’s always been a manipulator and user.”
“How did Rhys find out that she lied?”
“Shelby told him after she finished cutting his hair.”
“So Trisha told her about her little secret?”
Rachel nodded. “Yeah, while getting her hair highlighted the day before Rhys’s appointment.”
“Shelby’s never been one to talk about her clients to others, but I’m glad she did this time.”
“The situation warranted it.”
“Without question.” I took a deep breath while looking back and forth at my girls in disbelief. “I am sitting here trying to picture how things went down between Rhys and Trisha.”
Macie huffed. “I’ll tell you how they went. Rhys bowed out like the gentleman that he’s always been. Trisha, though? She started screaming at Rhys and hitting him after he told her that they were over and why. She spit in his face, too, and threw her engagement ring at him as he was walking out her front door.”
“Screamed at him, hit him, spit in his face, and threw the ring. Jesus.”
“She also called him a sorry son of a bitch.”
“All of this makes me feel sick to my stomach.”
“It did the same to us.”
“What would Trisha have done if Rhys hadn’t found out she wasn’t pregnant? Act like she miscarried after she got his last name?”
