"Hey," Hannah plopped down into the seat across from Stella. She gently grabbed her friends hand and squeezed it, "I got Caro and Joah to settle down in the back. They're all riled up about Gio. I told them not to come up here unless they want to get smacked."

"Hannah!" Stella chuckled.

"What? It's true," Hannah smiled at her.

Christian came out of the cockpit with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He ran a hand through his hair before standing in the aisle where the girls sat. He leaned against Hannah's chair, crossing his arms.

"Pilot says we'll be leaving soon."

"Thanks for letting us use your plane, Chris," Hannah tilted her head up to look at him, "I mean it."

"Anything for you, princess. I just wonder why your fiancé didn't send one? Oh wait—he uses his daddy's," Christian threw on cocky and smug grin.

"Moment ruined," she muttered after taking a deep breath.

"Why're you all dressed up?" Stella leaned her elbow against the wooden table, glancing at her brother with a raised brow, "trying to impress Hannah much?"

"Shut up."

He sunk into the chair beside Stella with a harumph. The pilot came on the intercom and told everyone that they were departing now. The plane started to back up and soon they were on the strip of cement that they'd use to take off. Hannah put her phone on airplane mode but connected to WiFi.

Hunter was still trying to defend why two of Hannah's bridesmaids had seen Hunter with Tara. She was angry, but she was also tired. It was exhausting to Hannah that they were always fighting about Christian and Tara.

It was also different. Hannah and Hunter rarely, if ever, had fights when they had first been together. Even after Hannah broke up with Hunter, they had stayed friends. Hunter just wanted to keep her in his life, and Hannah was grateful for his friendship.

"What am I going to tell him?" Stella's question made Hannah look up from her phone.

"That he can fuck off and die in a hole" she disdainfully clicked her tongue.

Christian bit back a chuckle, "what do you want to say to him, Stell?"

"I don't know. I really don't."

"May I say something a little controversial?" Christian laid his hands on the table.

"You may not," Hannah eyed him.

Christian narrowed his eyes on her, "Gio definitely fucked up. There's no question about that. But Chloe does have a habit of kissing other people's boyfriend's."

Hannah smoothed out her tee shirt, before cocking her head to the side with a glare. She hated that he was making a good point. She couldn't say that though.

"Gio should know best about that and yet he was willing to let her stay with him. He was willing to invite her to a party knowing good and well she likes to cozy up to taken men?"

"I'm not disagreeing with you. Gio had no excuse. He admitted to kissing her. Maybe they really didn't have sex, but it hurts all the same."

"So what are you trying to say?" Hannah glared at her ex, tapping her fingers on the table. She saw his eyes flicker to her engagement ring.

Christian bit his lip, "that if Stella gave Gio another chance I wouldn't blame her."

"You're unbelievable," Hannah groaned.
