Chapter 67

Harper

I throw open the door to find Sadie standing on my doorstep. She rushes in without a word, pulling me into a hug before I can even shut the door.

“I came right over,” she murmurs, giving me a squeeze. “You sounded so stressed out.”

I called her maybe ten minutes ago? The moment Easton dropped me off I was on the phone, needing my best friend.

“At least someone cares,” I retort once we pull away from each other.

Sadie’s frowning. “What are you talking about?”

I explain to her how Easton and I ditched school and were spending the rest of the day together-I don’t go into too much detail about the hot tub incident-then my brother calls and Easton drops everything to go to him.

“And he didn’t even take me with him,” I say, crossing my arms.

“Hmm, that’s not normal.” Sadie taps her index finger against her lips. “I thought they were still mad at each other?”

“So did I! I don’t get it.” I decide to express my deepest, darkest fear. “I mean, I’m glad they’re not so angry at each other anymore, but I also feel like I’m always going to come in dead last in Easton’s life.”

And that hurts to admit, even if it’s just to Sadie, who would never tell a soul.

“No. No way.” My best friend’s smile is gentle. “Easton seems really into you.”

“Until my brother calls him and he rushes off without telling me what’s going on,” I say bitterly. “It makes no sense.”

Sadie whips her phone out. I’ll call Ryan and ask him what’s going on. I bet he’ll tell me.”

I lift a brow but say nothing. My brother is more closed-lipped than Eastort and that’s
