anyone I ever met. So I ask all y’all to raise your glasses to wish them happy ever after as they plan their wedding and dream about their future.” Then she leaned in towards the crowd. “And y’all, we gotta get on Grace about popping out some babies sooner rather than later, cause look at these two.” She gestured at Grace and Montgomery. “They’d have some gorgeous babies, am I right?”
The crowd tittered with laughter and Montgomery’s mom actually put her fingers between her lips and let out a whistle. Grace’s cheeks were bright red and she was waving at her friend to sit down. Montgomery only sat back and smiled at his fiancée like she hung the moon. I’d never seen the bastard so settled and happy.
Delilah just grinned bigger and raised her glass. “To Montgomery and Grace!”
The room all cheered and clinked glasses, and even my nasty disposition of late softened. It was hard not to feel the love and pure joy in the room.
Beau clinked his glass with mine and took a sip of his champagne before asking, “So, are you ready for your Initiation?”
“How would one be ready for that?” I asked as I took a big gulp of my own drink to try to dissolve the lump of nerves in my gut.
“If Montgomery survived it, then we all can.”
I shrugged. “I suppose.” I took a deep breath before adding, “Let the lies begin.”
“Well, if your lies are even half as beautiful as Grace, then you won’t be too miserable,” Beau said with a chuckle.
Lies were lies no matter how you dressed them up. But sure… call them what you want.
Beautiful lies. Ugly lies. It all seemed the same to me. But since I had no choice in the matter but to play along, I would.
Let the beautiful lies begin…
Don’t stop reading yet.
The Breaking Belles series continues with
BEAUTIFUL LIES.
About Stasia Black
STASIA BLACK grew up in Texas, recently spent a freezing five-year stint in Minnesota, and now is happily planted in sunny California, which she will never, ever leave.
She loves writing, reading, listening to podcasts, and has recently taken up biking after a twenty-year sabbatical (and has the bumps and bruises to prove it). She lives with her own personal cheerleader, aka, her handsome husband, and their teenage son. Wow. Typing that makes her feel old. And writing about herself in the third person makes her feel a little like a nutjob, but ahem! Where were we?
Stasia’s drawn to romantic stories that don’t take the easy way out. She wants to see beneath people’s veneer and poke into their dark places, their twisted motives, and their deepest desires. Basically, she wants to create characters that make readers alternately laugh, cry ugly tears, want to toss their kindles across the room, and then declare they have a new FBB (forever book boyfriend).
