In-Love with More than One
But then again, I’m not a kid anymore.
Odette greets me at the door. She’s wearing white linen, her hair swept back, glass of something citrusy in her hand like she’s permanently on the third day of vacation. “Gavin,” she says, smiling like she didn’t help blow up my childhood.
I nod politely. “Odette.”
“Come in. He’s on the back patio. I’ll let him know you’re here.”
The inside is cool and sunlit, full of open spaces and warm tones and furniture I know cost more than Parker’s car. Maybe mine too. I wait in the hallway, hands in my pockets, trying not to grind my teeth.
