Secrets have a way of snowballing...
JIMMY
I should never have done this. I just wanted to tease her to get her back for what she thought about me. I didn’t mean to fall in love.
Now she’s pregnant, and I have to convince her to marry me. Not easy, considering that the first time that we met, I was lying through my teeth.
AMELIA
I’m a girl who has always gotten what she wants. What happens when someone says no to me for the first time?
And what happens when his high school girlfriend enters the picture?
It's been in the top 3000 on Amazon since it launched, mostly staying in the top 2000 or so.
I drank a sip of my Moscato. "Seriously, my dad is the worst."
"Your dad worships the ground that you walk on. You're the most spoiled girl in the entire DC area, and that includes Malia and Sasha."
"He's being horrible."
"Horrible like how? Like the time that he made you look at your five-figure credit card bill from an hour-long shopping spree at Potomac Mills? It's an outlet mall, girl. People are supposed to save money there. Or is this like the time when you bought a car because it matched your outfit and you didn't want to take the metro home?"
"Neither. It's way worse."
He sighed. "You know I love you, but I doubt that your dad is really doing anything too bad."
"He's making me go to Wisconsin."
"Okay, I take that back."
"I know! He wants me to go to flyover country. Middle America. You know it's all cornfields."
He rolled his eyes. "It's not all cornfields. You know that I lived in Madison for two years, right? It could be fun."
"You lived next to a park that was adjacent to a cornfield. In the state capital. God knows what would happen if you had been living in La Crosse, Steven's Point, or the woods in the north that you call 'Up North.'" I shivered. “That would have been the worst.”
"Honestly, get over yourself. It's not so bad in America's heartland. There's much less traffic."
"You told me that all of the county roads were riddled with potholes."
"True, but the people there are pretty friendly. You know that someone dug me out of a ditch when I spun off the road in the ice. Who knew that the hills in Madison would be way scarier than any of the hills in DC?"
