I’m not exactly sure what came over me, but I wanted Talia to understand that Chelsey was somebody special. Especially when I noticed the way she was staring down at her so snootily.
Chelsey, her mouth open in surprise, looked at me.
“I know we were going to keep it a secret until after we got back to Romania, but I think it’s about time everyone knew. Don’t you, babe?”
She continued staring at me, at a loss for words.
I looked up at Talia, who was watching us closely, and grinned. “I suppose I’m never going to hear the end of it now.” I put my hand around Chelsey’s shoulder, pulled her closer, kissing her on the forehead. “Obviously I can’t keep something this big a secret.”
“Wow, congratulations,” said Steve, coming up behind Talia. “Both of you. I had no idea.”
