They both blurted out at once, "He what?"
Nuala sat up straighter, her brows raised in disbelief. "Wait, Nicki? That Nicki?"
Chrisly leaned forward, a knowing look in his eyes. "I knew it. I just knew he was going to contact you."
Nuala's mouth dropped open in shock. "As in, the same guy who ghosted you after all that drama?"
I nodded slowly, my expression unreadable.
Chrisly scoffed and shook his head. "Unbelievable. What did he want?"
"He said he's back in town and that he wants to talk," I replied, shrugging like it didn't affect me. But the truth was, it did. A lot more than I was willing to admit out loud.
Nuala narrowed her eyes and folded her arms across her chest. "Talk about what? After the way he left things?"
I sighed, leaning back against the couch. "He said he wants to talk about what happened four years ago."
Chrisly raised a brow. "Now he wants to talk? After all this time, he suddenly decides it's the right moment to bring that up?"
