You’re Mine by Penny Brooks

Chapter 181

Harper

"I can't believe it's prom,” I say to Sadie as we stand in front of the sink in Easton's bathroom, putting on some last—minute touches to our makeup before the limo takes us to the pre—prom dinner.

“Neither can I.” She adds lip gloss, and then starts fluffing her hair.

“I really didn't think this year was going to turn out this way.

I mean, you know I've always been in love with your brother.

But us ending up together, like we are now, I don’t think I saw that coming.” “Um, hello, I certainly didn’t see Easton and I together either.

To be honest, I didn’t see myself with anyone.” And that somehow, I was going to die a virgin. Sigh.

“I always saw you with Easton,” she says, facing me, waiting for me to turn toward her, which I do.

"I remember that little bikini you wore the day of your Halloween party and how all I wanted was for him to notice you.” That's a party I will never forget.

A party that changed my whole life in every way.

“Except he didn't,” I say, rolling my eyes.

“He probably didn’t even know I was at that party ..

or that Ryan even had a twin sister."

She gently slaps my shoulder.

“Stop it, he knew exactly who you were and he thought you were hot AF.” “Now you're just lying ...” “Harp,” she starts, and I know a lecture is on its way.

“You're the most gorgeous person I know.

I promise he saw you.

I promise he thought about you.

And I promise he never made the moves on you because he knew Ryan would disassemble his body—like Dexter style.” I smile, because the truth is, it doesn't matter.

He’s mine now.
