Swoon

Do me a favor, though: don’t tell Colin about my new job before then, not until I’ve shown up for my first day of work. Once I’ve told him my feelings tonight, I want his reaction to be based on nothing but his honest feelings. I don’t want Colin deciding to be with me, simply because he realizes he’s going to be seeing me all the time, anyway, and I’m the path of least resistance.” “So smart,” Violet says. “Okay, I won’t say a word. And neither will Daxy.” “Thank you.” “My lips are sealed, too,” Alessandra says. “I won’t tell Fish about the job, so he doesn’t feel like he’s keeping something from Colin. Poor Matthew is the worst at keeping secrets. I’ll spare him the torture.” I inhale deeply. “Thank you, guys. Wow, I feel like such a huge weight has been lifted off me. I didn’t realize how much this ‘arrangement’ with Colin has been twisting me into knots until we started talking.” “The truth shall set you free,” Violet says.

They're going to keep Amy's new job a secret for now ;-)
