"Speaking of Georgia, I better go check on her. Who knows what thoughts Mom and Evelyn are putting in her head."
"Don't forget about Ava, Willow, and Paisley. They're home too. It'll be a full-on shit-show of a trip down memory lane, starring you," Mason warns.
My stomach flips. Mason's right. My sisters and mother will have Georgia filled in on my entire life, including things I'm not proud of and I'd rather not remember.
Mason and Jagger go back to training the horse while Alexander and I return to the house. Wilder runs up to me, slaps my arm, and says, "Tag, you're it!"
"Oh no you don't!" I declare, then run after him. I spend the next half hour playing with the kids. Then I go inside, feeling happier than I have in a while. I do miss my family.
If only they'd come to Dallas more often, I think. Then I freeze outside the kitchen door.
Ava states, "His second fiancée, that Kara chick, she was the most annoying. She had that whiny voice that she'd use on Sebastian when she wanted something. It drove me nuts."
"I beg to differ. I would rather have listened to her than the third one, Cindy. She was horrible. Remember how she made him hire a team of people to do her hair and makeup every day she was here? As if anyone around the ranch cared about her appearance," Paisley interjects.
Willow groans but adds, "She was horrible. At least Sebastian got smarter on the fourth one."
"How is that?" Georgia asks.
I cringe inside. I should interrupt this conversation, but it's like I can't move. Maybe I'm a sucker for punishment, eavesdropping and not stopping it. Yet no matter how much I will myself to step into the room, I can't.
"She wanted a prenup gift," Willow informs her.
"Sorry?" Georgia asks, confused.
Ava interjects, "Nicky tried to get Sebastian to buy her a limited-edition Porsche for signing the prenup."
"Wow," Georgia replies.
My mother voices, "I think Molly's the one who really broke his heart though. Jacob knew she was only after his money. He begged Sebastian to get a prenup, but he refused. Thank God he learned what she was after before he walked down the aisle. You would have thought he'd pick better women after that heartbreak."
"They all sound awful," Georgia declares in a soft voice.
"Didn't he tell you this stuff?" Ava inquires.
A moment of silence passes. The hairs on my neck rise as I wait to see how Georgia will respond.
She finally answers in her chipper tone, "Sebastian and I still have a lot to learn about each other. He told me about his fiancées but not the details. And I can understand if he doesn't want to rehash his past relationships. After all, they're in the past, right?"
