INDIGO

I slipped the phone back into my pocket and continued walking. A few minutes later I spotted an ice cream truck. I bought a cone for myself and two bagels—one for Leah.

Because if she was coming all the way here, she could at least eat. I found a bench overlooking the park and sat down. The ice cream was already melting slightly around the edges. I licked it.

Maybe I should tell her. Maybe she deserved to know. Maybe keeping something this big from her was worse than telling her.

  • My Cousin's Fiancé, My Ruin   45. Your Loss

    INDIGOKelsey barely gave us time to get back to the hotel. The moment Leah and I stepped through the reception, she caught both of our hands and started pulling us toward the exit.“Where are we going?” Leah asked, laughing as she tried to keep up.“The players invited us for drinks. Everyone is already at the pub.”Leah looked at me. I gave her a look that probably said everything. I wasn’t really in the mood for another crowd after the day we’d had, but Kelsey didn’t look like someone who was particularly interested in hearing no.“It’ll be fun,” she insisted, pulling me along. “And we’re in Miami. You’re not going to spend the whole trip working.”“I wasn’t planning to.”“You were absolutely planning to.”Leah laughed. “She’s right.”Of course she was. The pub wasn’t far from the hotel. It was just a short walk down the street, and the closer we got, the louder the music became. Even from outside, we could hear people cheering and laughing over the bass coming from inside. I was a

  • My Cousin's Fiancé, My Ruin   44. The Sensible Thing

    DARIOBy the time we got back to the hotel, the rest of the team had already started settling into the evening. Some of them had gone upstairs to their rooms, while others had gathered around the bar, talking over drinks and replaying moments from the game as if we could somehow change the outcome by arguing about it long enough. I sat at the bar with Rico, barely listening. My mind kept returning to the parking lot—to Indigo standing in front of me, telling me that whatever I felt for her was something I needed to let go of, to the way she had looked at me when I told her the truth about our first meeting, to the fact that, despite everything I had said, she had walked away from me.Rico, on the other hand, had been watching me since we got back. Even someone who wasn’t paying attention could tell something had happened between Indigo and me.Either he was waiting for me to spill, or he was just going to ask. He waited until the others were distracted before leaning closer.“You wa

    INDIGOI slipped the phone back into my pocket and continued walking. A few minutes later I spotted an ice cream truck. I bought a cone for myself and two bagels—one for Leah.

I licked it.Maybe I should tell her. Maybe she deserved to know. Maybe keeping something this big from her was worse than telling her. But then I pictured her face—the way she smiled at Dario at the airport, the way she had talked about their future. She trusted me. And as long as it didn’t happen again, she didn’t need to know. I wasn’t going to let it happen again. Dario was my boss and her man. He was nothing more to me.I took another lick of my ice cream. Ten or fifteen minutes later, someone dropped a half-full bottle of water onto the bench beside me. I knew who it was before she spoke.“Hey, you.” She sat down and immediate

    INDIGORico had tried talking to me on the drive back to the hotel. I gave him one-word answers until he finally gave up. He raised both hands briefly from the steering wheel before putting them back. “Okay.” That was his last attempt. Dario sat in the passenger seat, silent. I hadn’t looked at him since we left the players’ hotel. I didn’t want to. I was afraid that if I did, I’d remember his face when he told me it had always been me, and I couldn’t deal with that right now.During the interview we had barely spoken. “Pass me the microphone.” I had passed it to him. “Give me the next question.” I had handed him the sheet. “Get Rico.” I had gone to get Rico. That was it. As if he hadn’t just told me he had gotten close to my cousin because he wanted to get close to me. As if he hadn’t just told me he had loved me for years. As if I hadn’t kissed him. Twice.I stared out the window. The sky was turning darker, the last of the evening light stretching across the buildings as we drov

  • My Cousin's Fiancé, My Ruin   41. It's Always Been You

    DARIOThe game was a disaster. We lost by four runs, and judging by the mood in the press area, you would have thought someone had died. I wasn’t particularly bothered. Losing wasn’t unusual in sports. What mattered was what we got afterward.Rico was already speaking to one of the players when I noticed the team gathering around the media entrance. “We got the interview,” he said, turning toward me. “Exclusive. He agreed to meet us at the players’ hotel.”I nodded. “Good.”I looked across the field. Indigo was standing with Caleb, reviewing something on her phone. She laughed at whatever he said, and Caleb leaned closer so she could hear him over the noise coming from the stadium. My jaw tightened.“Indigo.” She turned immediately. “You’re with us.”She nodded, picked up her notebook and camera, and walked over. Rico was still giving instructions to one of the production guys, so I headed toward the reserved parking area with Indigo beside me. Neither of us said anything. The stadiu

  • My Cousin's Fiancé, My Ruin   40. Maybe?

    INDIGOI was already regretting coming to Florida before I even got on the plane. Not because of the trip. Because of Leah. I had just stepped into the boarding area when I heard my name.“Indi!”I turned and barely had time to react before Leah wrapped both arms around me. “What are you doing here?”She pulled back, grinning. “I’m coming with you guys!”I stared at her. “And Kelsey,” she added, pointing behind her. Kelsey lifted a hand in greeting. I looked between the two of them. “Since when? It’s a work trip.”“I asked Dario if I could come.”Of course she did. Leah looked so excited that I forced myself to smile. “You’re excited.”“Of course I am. It’s Florida.” She grabbed my hand. “And I wanted to see you at work. You’ve been so busy these days you don’t have time to hang out with me.”That made me feel even worse. She was genuinely happy to be here. Happy to see me. She had no idea that her fiancé had been in my house, kissing me. She didn’t know I’d kissed him back. And now I
