Page 2 of Falling With You
Not that I wasn’t actually helpful, but because it naturally meant that I usually ended up having to help Aiden because of the logical pairing.
And the two of us fought. A lot.
I had no idea why, but he just got under my skin. I might have a huge crush on him, but that didn’t mean he didn’t annoy me.
And he annoyed me so much.
“Sienna?”
I shook my head and looked over at Harmony. “I’m fine. Just a little headache.”
“I’m sorry, is there anything I can do?” Harmony asked, her voice soft.
Harmony was the nicest of us all. She had been through hell and back and had come out stronger for it, even though I would never say that to her. She hated the wordstrong,and considering that it came to my mind often when I thought about her, I could see why she hated it. She had lost her husband a couple of years ago and had had to rebuild her life. And then we’d all lost our best friend, Allison, after she had taken her own life.
So, we’d all gone through hell, but Harmony had been through more. But now, she was smiling more, and even though I thought she was slightly delicate, she was always sweet and amazing.
That probably had to do with the fact that the man she’d fallen in love with sat on her other side. Brendon Connolly. Our friend, and now Harmony’s other half.
The two of them had recently started dating, and I knew it was love and all the lovely magic that happened at the beginning of relationships.
I knew I probably sounded a bit cynical with that, but it was actually true, and I had a feeling that these two would go all the way. Marriage, maybe even babies. The same with Cameron and Violet.
That left me alone. Along with Aiden. But that wasnotgoing to happen.
Of course, there was some new blood in the water now, too—and no, not the eighteen-year-old Dillon.
The bartender Beckham had joined our group, even though he was working tonight and not sitting at our table. He was one sexy, bearded man, and I knew he had given me a few looks.
But for some reason, he didn’t put on any moves, and because I didn’t want things to get awkward, especially considering all of the connections we had with each other, I didn’t put any moves on him either.
And that was just fine, because I had a feeling his eyes were for someone else.
But that person wasn’t with us tonight either.
“Sienna? Are you okay?”
I tossed back the last of my water and nodded. “I’m fine, just lost in my head. And because of that, I think I should head home. I have an early day tomorrow, and I’m just not feeling it. You know?”
Harmony reached out and gripped my hand. “If you’re sure. We’re here if you need us.”
“I’m fine. Seriously. Nothing’s wrong. I’m just a little out of sorts tonight. Maybe a long bath and a good book before I go to bed will help. You know?”
“That sounds wonderful,” Harmony said, smiling.
“Did someone say bath?” Brendon asked, his voice a little low and too growly for me. He kissed Harmony’s neck, and I rolled my eyes.
“Okay, you two. Paws off each other while I say goodbye to everyone.”
“Oh? You’re leaving?” Violet asked as she stood up with me.
“Are you sure? Are you feeling okay?”
“I’m fine. I just explained to Harmony that I have an early morning. You guys have fun tonight because you all deserve it. I deserve a nice warm bath.”
“Okay, text me when you get home so I know you’re safe.” Violet kissed my cheek and gave me a hug, and then I went through and hugged all of the others, saying my goodbyes. I ended up at Aiden’s side, and he just raised a brow at me.
“Do you want a hug, too, Connolly?”
