Love Like Her (Against All Odds #3) - Claudia Y. Burgoa Page 0,37
of you.
Eros: Remind me never to introduce you to my sisters.
Liv: I might send her a Dear Abby letter.
Dear Persy, I have this friend whose sister always talks about her brother on her blog or podcast. Is there a way she can tell more embarrassing stories on the air?
Sincerely,
Eros’s Friend.
Eros: Can I cancel our friendship?
Liv: You could, but then your life will be filled with sadness. Who will you reach out to when you want to complain about your sisters?
Eros: I’m going to stay in Costa Rica forever. That way, neither one of you can bug me.
Liv: I’ll find you.
Eros: Empty promises. How’s Boston?
Liv: Still a mess. I was there last week. On the plus side, I got to see Holly. I’m trying to convince her husband to work for me. He’s an architect.
Eros: If there’s anything I can do to help you, let me know.
Liv: Why don’t you upload those pictures so we can talk about them. That’ll keep my mind busy and away from work.
Eros: Nyx is having a girl!
Liv: That’s so exciting!
Eros: Yes, it is. She’s coming to Colorado with Nate. Persy’s birthday is this weekend. She and Ford are moving to their new house.
Liv: Sounds like fun. I’ve always wanted to be at a big family reunion.
Eros: Why haven’t you been to one?
Liv: Dad doesn’t have siblings or cousins. Grandma died when I was nine. Dan’s family lives on the East Coast. The years I was with them, we never went to visit them. Mom’s family never organized one. I visited my grandmother twice a month and during the holidays when I was in Canada and she was alive.
Eros: When we were younger, we visited my grandparents every holiday. They always organized big parties. One day I’ll bring you over so you can have the Brassard experience. A word of caution, we’re not easy.
Liv: I already figured that out. How’s the company?
Eros: Going well. Gil is in Costa Rica, giving me a hand. It’s the first time I’ve seen him excited about something that’s not an archeological discovery.
Liv: So, I was watching this documentary about the ruins of Machu Picchu with Charles Gil. He looked familiar.
Eros: He’s my godfather.
Liv: That’s what I thought. So, his last name is Gil?
Eros: Yes. I’ve no idea why everyone calls him by his last name.
Liv: I hate to stop this chat, but I have a meeting.
Eros: It’s a shame that you can’t multitask.
Liv: I can but not when Dad is in the meeting. He knows when I’m a little distracted. Talk to you soon.
Eros: I’ll text you later tonight.
Chapter Nineteen
Eros: We’re going to visit Callie.
Liv: I’ve been wondering what you guys were going to do with the information you gathered from the PI.
Liv: Do you think it’ll be best if your parents go with you?
Eros: The last time my mom tried to contact Callie, my sister was horrible with her. I want to speak with her first.
Liv: Good luck. I hope you can rebuild the relationship you guys had with her.
Eros: It’ll be great if she can at least visit before Nyx has her baby.
Liv: That reminds me, have they come up with any names for the baby yet?
Eros: No. Nyx and Nate keep calling her blueberry.
Liv: I think that’s sweet. April can’t get here any sooner. You have to send me pictures of her.
Eros: I keep sending you pictures of everything I do. You never send me any.
Liv: I could send you pictures of my computer.
Eros: You said the other day that you were going to a bar.
Liv: To barre.
Eros: Ah, that makes more sense. For a moment I thought you started drinking too early. I can use a picture of you practicing.
Liv: Ha! Keep waiting for it, Mr. Brassard. :wink emoji:
Eros: A guy can always hope. Hey, can I text you back after the plane takes off?
Liv: You’re already leaving for Boston?
Eros: Yes. I’m meeting Nate in New York, and we’re flying to Boston tomorrow morning. I’ll contact you soon.
Eros: Meet Nova Juliet Brassard.
Liv: Ooh, she’s so pretty. Congratulations, Uncle Eros.
Liv: Wait, wasn’t she supposed to be born next month?
Eros: She came a few weeks sooner. What can I say? The kid is as impatient as her mother. I should be running away from her.
Liv: You complain now, but she’s going to have you wrapped around her little finger.
