Magnolia Parks: The Long Way Home (Magnolia Parks Universe, #3)

by Jessa Hastings

tripe. I stare over at them and absentmindedly fiddle with the necklace BJ gave me last night. “You guys are cute.” I turn to Christian who’s sitting next to me on the couch and we trade looks. “It’s fucking disgusting,” he tells them and I smirk. We’ve hung out a lot these last few weeks, me and Christian Hemmes. And please do calm down. It’s not like that, we’re not going down that road again. We’re both just… in love with people who don’t want us and/or are with other people. He spent Christmas Day with Daisy, if you can believe it, but he said the policeman ruined it. Both of our Christmases could have been perfectly perfect and they were both hijacked respectively by a sexy policemen and an evil Australian, so we’re mutually miserable and our best friends are in love and so all we have is each other. And do you know what we do? We go to the gym. I do weight training with him, he does Reformer Pilates with me (however he flat-out refuses to come to my barre classes), we swim, we go to the sauna, we bond over how annoying Jordan is. Occasionally I say, “Fuck the police,” so he feels better about Daisy Haites being with that sexy policeman she’s dating.

Hahahaa but also pain
