I really, really loved the estate. But I really, really didn"t want to go today. Terrence was throwing a barbeque and while the rest of the country was getting slammed with a heat wave, Rome was a perfect seventy-five degrees. Dammit. I looped my curls into a messy bun on top of my head. If it had rained, I could have cancelled. Instead, white puffs of clouds dotted the sky through the windows behind me. "Evie! Get your butt down here!" Joey called up the stairs. "Pedro is already in the car!" Pedro. I rolled my eyes as I smoothed out my pale green t-shirt. Joey"s first official boyfriend had become a staple over the past few months. He was nice enough. A real charmer. He and Joey were adorable together. Sickeningly so. I grabbed my sunglasses and ran to the garage to see Pedro already
