“We all think that was her exact plan.”

“You know, I never understood what Rhys saw in Trisha. They’re nothing alike, plus he’s way out of her league.”

“She was a rebound relationship for him. Caught him when he was weak. You know that.”

I stared at Macie but didn’t acknowledge knowing those two things because saying it aloud would’ve hurt even more. “Do you think Rhys loved Trisha at all?” I finally asked.

“No. He’s still in love with you, Riley.”

“Just like you are with him,” my sister added.

“I fell out of love with him last year.”

“I don’t believe that.”

“Look, I will always care about Rhys. We were high school sweethearts. He was my first love.”

“And the first and only guy to fuck you until Chad,” Macie said, grabbing my attention.

“Why do you always say his name nasally like that?”

“Because I don’t like it. It’s a prick-name.”

“Whatever,” I mumbled.

“I’m curious about something, BFF. Have you ever compared Chad to Rhys?”

“In which way?”

“His ability underneath the sheets.”

I dipped my fingertips into my wine and flung the drops at Macie. She tried to shield herself, but I still got her.

“You’re blushing,” she continued.

“So.”

“Answer my question.”

I glanced at my sister. She appeared just as anxious as Macie to hear what I had to say.

“Yes—I’ve compared Chad to Rhys,” I admitted. “Happy now?”

“No. Tell me who fucks better.”

“Why are you doing this to me?”

“I’m trying to get you to see things clearly.”

“See what clearly?”

“Where you’re headed. Where you could be.”

I scoffed. “You mean with Rhys again?”

“Yep. He’d get back together with you in a heartbeat.”

“No, he wouldn’t. We grew apart, so there’s nothing to go back to.”
