“Oh god, yes, I would love a cappuccino,” I say. “Get rid of this headache. Do you have soy milk?”
Matty laughs.
“Sì. Soia.”
“Wow,” Matty says. “This ain’t half bad. I’ll take one, too. No soy for me; I’m not difficult like my cousin here. Thanks, Vincenze.”
Vincenze nods and backs out of the room.
I immediately swan dive onto one of the beds and shimmy my phone out of my pocket. Given the time difference, it’s been too long since I’ve posted anything to my Clock feed, and though I have filmed content scheduled over the next week, I want to pepper my channel with documentations of my trip, starting with everything I got on the journey here. I did my best to edit in the Sprinter van, but I got sick. All I need is a hot sound andboom.
Post.
Done.
“How you feeling?” Matty’s voice is froggy from airplane exhaustion.
“Great. This post is fire.”
“Nope, about Ricky.”
I bury my face into the comforter. “Ask me in three to five business days.”
“You’re pulling it off well,” Matty says. “If it’s any consolation. Wanna talk about the Cam of it all, now that we’re alone?”
“What’s there to talk about? That the love of my life is here in the most romantic place in the entire world with another guy?! I—” I stop because I might break down. My emotions are a tangle of bedsheets, and I’m trapped inside. “Is it ridiculous? Naïve? To think I can win him back with some evil plot?”
“Probably.” I appreciate the honesty as Matty laughs. “But you two belong together. If what you really want is another chance with Ricky, I’ll help you get him back.”
“I’m not wildly unhinged?”
“Never saidthat. But as your best friend, I’ll run interference with Cam, help you get alone time with Ricky. Run reconnaissance. I got your back. Just . . . have a plan.”
A grin stretches over my lips as he closes the door to our suite, and I clasp my hands together like a villain, remembering some of what Sienna told me quickly about the details of the next few days before Matty and I came down to our room. If I learned anything fromMy Best Friend’s Wedding, it’s that it’s crucial to take any opportunity to isolate the object of my affection—Ricky—from his love interest—Cam—while also doing everything in my power to come off as the best version of myself to Ricky’s family.
Glancing at my phone, I see my latest Clock is 99 percent loaded. “I have an idea.”
