The one she liked finally liked her back.
Just that was enough to make every bit of heartbreak she’d ever felt fade away.
When Emily spoke, Anthony’s eyebrows pulled together. He looked like he wanted to say something. His lips parted, but in the end, he just went quiet.
He’d known Kenneth since they were kids. Solid guy, good temper, easy to trust. Compared to every other man out there, Anthony had no doubts about letting Kenneth be the one for Emily.
“Okay,” Charlotte agreed right away, not asking for details. “Your secret’s safe with me.”
But nothing in this world ever stays truly hidden.
If he ever found out Emily had crushed on him for ten years, gone through all that hurt just to get a little closer, and nearly given up after so much disappointment… Who knows how he’d react?
“Kenneth’s never dated anyone before,” Charlotte said, glancing over her shoulder at Anthony, a grin on her lips. “Plus, he’s learned all sorts of weird tricks from a certain someone. Don’t be surprised if he acts a little crazy chasing you. If you want to change your mind, there’s still time.”
“Anthony taught him?” Emily couldn’t help but laugh, her eyes lighting up. “Honestly, if Anthony managed to win you over, his methods can’t be that bad.”
“If not for me…” Charlotte started, her voice getting louder, but then she looked up and caught Anthony’s half-smile. She stopped herself, forcing the rest of it down.
“If I hadn’t been soft-hearted, he never would’ve stood a chance.”
That was the truth. Anthony really was the one who had done the chasing.
Definitely not the other way around—she hadn’t just secretly liked him and let herself fall into his arms. That story stayed in order, at least.
