to one
another for years. Thankfully, they’d both found their way, and now they were
planning a wedding.
This
reminded, V... She was working on the bachelorette party.
Without
preamble, V began loading her things into Zoey’s truck while she waited for her
to finish her phone call. She’d heard plenty of “I love you” and “I miss you”
in the last couple of weeks that she didn’t need to hear any more.
By
the time Zoey was heading out of the house, V had loaded her things into the
bed of Zoey’s truck and was waiting patiently. Not that patience was one of her
virtues, but she was working on it. Probably had a lot to do with Zane’s attack
and the fact that there for about a week, they hadn’t known whether he would
make it or not.
The
thought still made her sick to her stomach.
“I’ve
got to go home and shower, but then I’ll pick you up and we’ll head over to
Moonshiners,” Zoey mumbled as she approached and at first V thought she was
still on the phone. When she looked up, she saw that her friend was, in fact,
talking to her.
“Sounds
like a plan.” Not that the idea of going home sounded appealing. Especially
considering V would actually have to go into the house, but it wasn’t like she
had much of a choice.
“How’re
the renovations on the house coming along?” V figured idle chit chat was the
only way to keep her mind off of going home, so she brought up the safest subject
she knew of.
“Fantastic.”
Zoey grinned from ear to ear as she settled behind the wheel and started the
engine. “With the sale of the land, I’ve got enough money to do some pretty significant
improvements to the house. If it weren’t for the age, we wouldn’t be looking at
so much money or change, but I think when they’re done, it’ll be totally worth
it.”
“When
will they be finished?” Completion of the work had been a precarious topic for
Zoey last week, although V hadn’t understood why. Considering she and Kaleb
were already shacking up at his place while the work was being done, V figured
there were other more important battles Zoey should be focused on.
“Now
they are telling us about three months. Kaleb talked to the general contractor
today, and he’s going to get a crew started this week.”
Since
Zoey’s father moved into the guest house that Zoey had originally been
occupying, the main house currently stood almost empty which seemed to make her
friend a little nervous. Zoey’s little bouts of frustration were few and far
between these days though, and V was just happy to see the smile on her friends
face. Zoey deserved all the happiness in the world as far as V was concerned.
After
finding out that Zoey’s ex-husband, Jason Tribbons had actually got some chick
pregnant while the two of them had been married, Zoey’s mood had gone sour
there for a little while. Not that V blamed her. If it weren’t for Braydon’s
and Brendon’s interference they would have known what happened a long time ago,
but instead, the wound was still fresh. According to Zoey, Kaleb was
unquestionably worth every ounce of heartache she had gone through in her life
just to end up where she was.
Of
course, it appeared Jason and his crazy bitch wife were back for good, but Zoey
didn’t seem to care. And V wasn’t about to bring it up. That man was in the
past, and V was happy to celebrate Zoey’s future with her.
After
all, it seemed to be the only future worth celebrating these days.
Chapter Four
♂♀
By
the time the twins and Ethan left, leaving only Sawyer, Kaleb and himself, Zane
was more than ready to get on with his day. While the rest of them were razzing
one another relentlessly, Zane managed to text Beau to see if he could get away
for a bit and meet him at the gym. Unfortunately, Beau was busy and said he’d catch
him the next day.
At
first Zane had been disappointed, but after overhearing Kaleb’s phone
conversation with Zoey a few minutes ago, he’d found something else to
another for years. Thankfully, they’d both found their way, and now they were
planning a wedding.
