In the back of my mind, I know I still need to eat dinner. I still have things to finish up at the office. I still have responsibilities. But I’m having such a hard time caring about any of that when I’m this…satisfied.
And it’s all thanks to Spencer Sex God Nash.
When we’re together, life feels pretty damn perfect.
But it’s when we’re apart that Amelia works overtime to ensure we’re not okay.
She sends photos of me to Spencer, and she’s careful to make it look incriminating when it’s nothing of the sort—like the time I hugged Pete when he told me his uncle had died, or the time I was standing close to Anthony in the fields as we inspected some of the vines as small, green grapes started to emerge after the winter months. Or even when I was working with the construction crew as they built the shed.
All these instances were innocent, but she insinuated they were not.
How do I know this?
He sent me screenshots of her texts.
Did you know she was cheating on you with Pete?
Looks like your “wife” has feelings for our construction worker.
But Spencer knows me, and he trusts me. She can send all the photos she wants. She can even manipulate however she wants. We’re not going to let it break us.
When the second week of June hits, I haven’t seen him in two weeks—since our anniversary weekend. We already broke our not-longer-than-a-week promise.
He has mandatory minicamp, which means intense days with his entire team. It’s also the height of our busy season as summer gets underway and the people traveling the lakes of Minnesota stop at our little vineyard to give Newlywed a try.
It doesn’t hurt that a Marriott resort is under ten miles away, and a huge Embassy Suites was built a few miles away from us four years ago.
It’s great for traffic here, but it also means I can’t get away to go visit Spencer—not even when Heidi’s here to help me out on the weekends.
And it doesn’t help when Amelia is flaunting her marriage in my face.
“It’s so nice having my husband around all the time. He knows this place so well.”
“Spencer and I never went more than three days without seeing each other.”
Three days? How is that even possible?
Oh, right—because Amelia used to live in the city where Spencer played.
And also…it’s a lie. When it got toward the end, I know they went more than three days without seeing each other.
I tell myself that over and over on repeat, but it doesn’t change the fact that she’s playing on my insecurities, and it feels an awful lot like she’s starting to win.
Chapter 46: Grace Nash
Don’t Let Your Guard Down
Two and a Half Months After the Wedding
I cut the ribbon hanging across the front, and I draw in a deep breath as I officially open the doors to the barn.
“Welcome!” I say gleefully.
The carefully planned speech has been executed, and the night can officially begin.
It’s only been a little over two months since the idea for this event came to me, and here we are.
My dream is to turn this into an annual event, and it’s comforting to know that next time, I’ll have an entire year to plan for it versus pulling it together in just a couple months. But regardless of the timeline, I couldn’t be happier with how things have turned out.
