of her coat and
smiling.
    “Come
on, Danni, don’t keep me waiting. You two haven’t seen each other in three weeks
and you have both been miserable since then. Tell me.”
    Sighing,
she placed her coat on the hook by the door and motioned toward the couch. “All
right. It was fine,” she said, following me to the couch and sitting beside me.
    “Fine?
What does that mean?”
    “I
mean it was just fine. He really didn’t talk to me that much, it was mostly
Jude. We went all over the place. They took me to Central Park, Rockefeller
Center, Times Square…”
    “What
do you mean he didn’t really talk to you?” I asked with a frown. “Danni, he’s
really been a jerk since we left Indiana. He misses you, I’m telling you.”
    Danni
shook her head and huffed out a laugh. “He didn’t seem like he did. Honestly he
seemed like he would have rather been anywhere than with me and Jude.”
    “Maybe
he wanted to be alone with you.”
    “Ev,
I don’t think so. He’s had three weeks to call me. Hell, before we actually
hooked up we talked almost every single day on Facebook. He’s gotten what he
wanted and now he’s moved on. We both knew it was going to end that way. I just
chose not to cry over it, that’s all,” she said.
    “Danni,
you’re my best friend in the world. I know you’ve cried over him whether you want
to admit it or not.”
    Before
I could continue, she smiled at me and said, “Oh let’s forget about him. Do I
get to see your new tattoo or what?”
    Sighing,
I started to stand to show it to her but my phone rang. “Hold that thought,” I
said and I smiled when I pulled out my phone and looked at the caller ID. “Hi
Jessie,” I said.
    “Hey
Everleigh, how have you been?” she said sweetly. “Sorry about earlier. Kris
gets a little hornier than normal when we’ve been apart for a little bit.”
    “Oh
it’s okay, girl, I understand. I’d be the same way if I was away from Ryder for
even a day.”
    “So,
listen, I don’t want to impose or anything but Kris wanted to go check out
Eternal Down at The Rock Steady and I really didn’t feel like tagging along…”
    “Come
over then! I haven’t seen you in three weeks either, girl! How soon can you get
here?”
    I
heard a knock on the door and I smiled. “Pretty quick.”
    I
ran to the front door and opened it. Jessie was standing at the door with her
long brown hair pulled back in a ponytail and a smile on her pretty face. I put
my phone in my back pocket and I hugged her. “Hey Jessie,” I said, “it’s good
to see you.”
    “It’s
good to see you too! This wedding is starting to stress me out. I needed to see
my girls. Hey Danni,” she said, waving at her.
    “Well,
get in here and tell me all about how beautiful this wedding will be. We need
something to talk about since Danni won’t talk to me about Beau,” I said.
    “Ev,
don’t,” Danni said, shaking her head. “There’s nothing to talk about, I
promise. Besides, I believe you were about to show me your new tattoo.”
    Jessie’s
face lit up and she smiled. “You got a tattoo? I want to see!”
    I
rolled my eyes and grinned. “Okay, hang on,” I said as Jessie hung up her coat
and quickly joined Danni on the couch. I lifted my shirt slightly and unzipped
my jeans.
    Jessie
giggled and said, “You know Jude’s head is about to explode somewhere right
now,” and we all laughed.
    I
pulled my jeans down slightly and showed them the tattoo that Jake had done the
night before. “What do you think?”
    They
were both silent for a moment before Jessie said, “Everleigh…that is absolutely
gorgeous. Did Jake do it?”
    I
nodded, emotion forming a lump in my throat. “He did a great job, didn’t he?”
    “He
really did. Jake might be a total horn dog but he’s so talented,” Jessie said.
“He did my memorial tattoo for my grandmother.”
    I
looked at Danni and asked, “Danni? What do you think?”
    She
looked up at me, tears glistening in her blue eyes. “It’s
