“You couldn’t have used the door?” Paisley asks as she wipes non-existent dust from her clothes.

“There’s no need to call shotgun. We’re not going anywhere,” I claim.

Maya giggles, and I shoot her a glare. She holds up her hands in defense. “Sorry. But you have to admit it’s funny how you think you can avoid us.”

“I want to be alone.”

“In your dreams,” Chloe sings as Nova, Maya, and Paisley laugh.

“Fine,” I huff. “You can join me at my parents’ house for cookies and milk.”

I don’t want to run to my mom but where else do I have to go? Flynn’s house is out. My apartment has no bathroom. And I’d probably murder Weston if I went to his place.

“Your mom isn’t home,” Chloe claims.

I narrow my eyes on her. “How do you know?”

She wiggles her phone at me. “She texted to let me know she’ll meet us atBootlegger.”

“Did she text before or after you ordered her to meet us at the bar?”

Chloe shrugs. “Does it matter?”

“I don’t want to drown my sorrows.”

“Good, since you tend to remove your clothes when you’re wasted,” Nova says. “Weston would lose his mind.”

“As would Flynn,” Maya adds.

“I don’t give a shit what Asshole Number 1 would do. He’s no longer a consideration in my life.”

“Why is Flynn now referred to as Asshole Number 1?” Paisley asks and Maya pinches her. “Ouch! What? She’s going to tell us eventually. Personally, I prefer her to explain it now. I don’t speak Drunk Sophia.”

“Since Drunk Sophia tends to explain with charades, no one speaks Drunk Sophia,” Nova says.

“One time!” I wave my index finger at her. “One time I decided to explain with charades and you won’t let it go.”

Chloe giggles. “It’s too hilarious to forget. You fell down while hopping on one foot.”

“And then decided it was your pants fault and began to strip,” Paisley continues.

“But she forgot to remove her shoes.” I can barely understand Maya through her laughing, but I don’t need to. I’ve heard the story before. Hell, I lived it.

“And ended up jumping up and down while screaming at her shoes while her pants were around her ankles,” Nova finishes.

I give them the finger but they’re laughing too hard to notice.

“All right! All right!” I clap my hands to get their attention. “You’ve had your fun. Can you please get out of my car?”

Chloe wipes tears of mirth from her eyes. “I’m serious. Your mom is meeting us atBootlegger.”

“Great,” I mutter as I dig my car keys out of my purse. “I get to tell my sad story to my mom. It’s what every little girl dreams of.”

“Or you can tell us now,” Maya pushes.

“Fine. You want to know. I’ll tell you. I love Flynn, but he doesn’t think I’m worth fighting for.”

“Explain,” Paisley orders.
