Chapter 15

• Hayley had invited the Lachlan's over for dinner. She wanted to know what Ray's plans were to get Alexis and a dinner seemed like the best place to ask without appearing as one of those nosy moms. She'd serve them dinner then ask for his help to clear the table when they were done. In the kitchen she'd corner him and ask him why he kept staring at Alexis all night. It was a solid plan. In her head. In reality things went sideways the second they stepped through the door.
• JR was still holding a grudge against Vince for keeping him away from her all those years ago. Every time they were in a room together, they glared at each like teenagers. Not that Vince actually cared. She'd taken him aside on her wedding day and asked him to bury the hatchet with her soon to be husband and surprisingly he'd said he held no grudges. But JR? Sometimes she wondered how she didn't see his childishness before she married him. He could be such a prick sometimes. Especially the day he found out Jasmine was dating Vince and she wanted to marry him. He'd gone mad and forbade her to even look at him. She wondered how he would react if he found out Ray was in love with Alexis. This is going to be interesting. She muttered to herself as she followed JR to the door.
• "Vince. Long time no see" Hayley said pushing her husband aside so she could hug her friend. She didn't get far because something or someone was holding her dress preventing her from moving. Turning her head she threw JR a look and said "Let go of my dress" he blinked like he hadn't realized he was holding it then let it go.
