energized after class ended, though, and it had nothing to do with suggestive hip movements. The three of them rose to their feet like cranky zombies, but managed to get through the hour without taking a flying leap through the plateglass window onto the street to escape. She swiped across the screen and a Latin beat pumped into the room. “Very well,” Kristin said primly, hooking her iPod up to an adapter. “I didn’t make it through the kitchen before-” “Your brother is very handsy after a few beers,” said Kristin. Kristin put those little yellow rinds in everything for six months.
Once, Georgie declined a fresh-baked muffin from Kristin because it contained lemon zest. If Georgie skipped the class, Stephen would suffer the consequences, and it was only a matter of time before the fallout trickled down. Hence Georgie attending her Zumba class even though she’d like to be sitting in front of the television with a nice cheese plate. Until you pissed her off or she didn’t get her way. She was a ball of sunlight and southern gentility. Georgie and Bethany’s sister-in-law floated like an early Disney princess, humming to herself and catching the light with her diamond earrings.
“I’m sorry I’m late,” Kristin squealed, rushing into the room. What’s the harm? It’s not like it’s real.Rosie and Bethany laughed and they threw up their hands. When she proposes a wild scheme-that they pretend to date, to shock her family and help him land a new job-he agrees. And then there’s Georgie, his best friend’s sister, who is not a kid anymore. But he can’t even cross the street without someone recapping his greatest hits. Now he’s flipping houses to keep busy and trying to forget his glory days. Travis Ford was major league baseball’s hottest rookie when an injury ended his career. And who better to help demolish that image than the resident sports star and tabloid favorite. Maybe if people think she’s having a steamy love affair, they’ll acknowledge she’s not just the “little sister” who paints faces for a living.
Nobody’s asking the town clown out for a night of hot sex, that’s for sure. Living her best life means facing the truth: Georgie hasn’t been on a date since, well, ever. Phase four: put herself on the market (and stop crushing on Travis Ford!) Phase three: updates to her exterior (do people still wax?) Phase two: a gut-reno on her wardrobe (fyi, leggings are pants.) Phase one: new framework for her business (a website from this decade, perhaps?) She’s determined to fix herself up into a Woman of the World… whatever that means. Georgie loves planning children’s birthday parties and making people laugh, just not at her own expense. Georgette Castle’s family runs the best home renovation business in town, but she picked balloons instead of blueprints and they haven’t taken her seriously since.
