“Hey, Collins.How’s Shaolin?”I ask.
“Horrible!How’s Mayberry?”
“Great.Sheriff Andy’s taking real good care of me.”
“See, that’s why I miss you.Life is boring without you.”
“You should visit.Ethan’s treat.”
I smile over at him, and he nods, pulling me closer to him.
“You should come,” he says.“She misses you.”
“Yeah, I do.”
“Hi, Eee-than,” Sandy says with a giggle.
“Sandy says hi.”
I know he heard, but I guess I have to keep up appearances.
“Hello, Sandy,” he answers.
“I do have like a week of vacay time left.”
“Great!You should come around the third week of October.”
“Why?What’s happening then?”
“I need you here so you can be maid of honor at my wedding.”
“Be your who in yourwhat?”she shrieks.
“My maid of honor in my wedding.”
“Is that a joke, Miss Fear of Commitment?”
Ethan raises a questioning brow, but I ignore him.
“I’m serious.Ethan proposed, and I said yes.”
“Oh, my God.Oh, my God!”
She screams so loudly, I have to move the phone away from myear.Ethan and I both laugh at her theatrics.
“I’m putting you on speaker,” I tell her.
“Case, I’m so happy for you!”
“Thank you.So you have to come.”
“Of course!But why so soon?”
“Mr.Impatient can’t wait.”
“I don’t blame him.After what you put him through, heshould have dragged your ass to Vegas.”
“That’s whatIsaid,” Ethan says.
