“Time is valuable.” How much Jamie hated hearing that again, especially in this context. She hated that Siena was right. What Jamie was spending her time on wasn’t life-giving or money-giving. And she needed to do something different.

“It is.” Jessie gave her a soft smile. “So what are you going to do now?”

“I’m going to end it with Siena.”

“Not quite what I meant, but that can’t be the only thing that you’re doing.”

“I’ll figure that out tomorrow. My head still hurts.”

Jessie gave her a pitying look. “Fine, tomorrow. But I’m going to expect an answer to that question.”

“I’ll get to working on it.”

“Did you see what JK is up to now?” Ingrid’s voice was so full of energy.

Siena cocked her head to the side, staring at Ingrid as she stood in the doorway to her office. “What are you doing here?”

“I thought you might need two brains to work through this problem.”

Problem? Siena frowned and shook her head slowly. What problem was Ingrid even talking about?

“You don’t know, do you?” Ingrid sauntered into the office, her long legs sliding through the high split in her skirt. Siena’s gaze dropped before picking right back up. “How do you not know?”

“What am I missing?” Siena pressed her lips together hard. She really hadn’t been expecting an impromptu visit today. And the fact that Ingrid looked so perturbed by the fact that Siena hadn’t heard whatever this big news was irked her even more.

“Piper’s engaged.”

Siena frowned. Piper wasn’t engaged. But she and Piperand Jo and Harley were the only ones who knew that. And Jamie.

Shit.

Jamie.

Had she posted it on her blog yet? The small one that no one was supposed to know about?

“Here.” Ingrid walked to Siena’s side and leaned over the desk to pull at the keyboard and the mouse. She typed quickly and pulled up a website. This wasn’t one of the ones that Siena knew was connected with Jamie, but Jamie did have so many that she wasn’t sure she’d tracked them all down.

Siena skimmed the article, which included photos of Piper proposing to Jo. They didn’t have Jo’s name though, just Piper’s. Siena read it again, this time in far more detail. There was very little information actually provided in the post, just the photos, Piper’s name, and when and where everything had happened.

“You better get on top of this before it breaks in the big outlets,” Ingrid murmured in Siena’s ear. “Bunny’s going to flip out.”

“Yeah, she is,” Siena muttered under her breath. She was reading other articles on the website, but they seemed to all be ripped from other places, which meant that Siena had no clue where the original was posted. She was going to have to dive deep into researching that as soon as she had a minute.

Siena pulled open a new search tab and started to look and see where else the information had been leaked. Jamie wasn’t supposed to post about it yet, but the information was already out there. Siena glanced at her phone, trying to figure out what exactly had gone wrong. Had Jamie done this just to piss her off?

Everything had been so odd between them in the last few weeks. Siena wasn’t even sure what to do about it.

“There.” Ingrid leaned over Siena’s shoulder and pointed at the screen.

Siena clicked on another website, finding the original posting of photos. Except it was just a social media page that was fan run. She scrunched her nose up. She wouldn’t put it past Jamie to be in charge of a few of those either.

“This is going to blow up,” Ingrid whispered. “Almost as bad as that thing for me last month.”

Siena couldn’t argue with her. “Give me a second.”

Snagging her cell phone off her desk, Siena walked out of her office. She didn’t need Ingrid overhearing this conversation. She pressed the phone to her ear as she dialed Jamie’s cell and waited as it rang.
