"So, you already know her pretty well then?"
"Yeah, we actually got to talk quite a bit during my bachelor party weekend."
"Anything I should know? I don't want to say something stupid."
"You'll be fine." He squeezed my hand.
I was nervous. This girl could potentially be a huge part of my life if she was able to get Rob to settle down. Plus she must be magical if she was dating Rob. Rob never dated anyone.
"Oh, hey, James," Daphne said. "I hope it's okay that I just walked in. Rob didn't really say if..."
"It's fine. It's great to see you again." He gave her a quick hug. "This is my fiancée, Penny."
"Hi. Wow, I've heard a ton about you, Penny. I'm super excited to finally meet you in person." She stuck out her hand for me and I shook it.
"What terrible things has Rob told you about me?"
"Mostly good things, I promise. He's super excited to have you officially be his little sister, I know that."
"Did he really say that?"
"A couple times, yeah."
That's so sweet."Well, I think that's a total lie. He just loves tormenting me. A big brother thing I guess?" I said with a laugh.
"I'm pretty sure that's what little sisters are for," she said. She glanced past us, probably looking for Rob.
James' grip tightened slightly on my waist.
Had I said something wrong? "I wouldn't know. I'm an only child."
"I've heard you and Rob had quite the exciting week," James said.
She gave him a small smile. "Yes. God, he's...it was probably the best week of my life. After Costa Rica we flew to Paris. And then we went to Venice before coming back here. I think he might already have tickets to go to Sydney next week. He's so full of surprises. I never know what to expect next."
"Welcome to my life," James said.
I laughed. "Rob is certainly full of surprises. Always good though."
"Stop freaking Daphne out," Rob said. He had suddenly appeared next to Daphne. He grabbed her waist and pulled her in for a kiss. And she melted into his kiss. She so clearly adored him. "Hey," he whispered to her, but it was loud enough for us to hear. "You look amazing." Her face blushed. "I see that you've met my super annoying soon-to-be little sister."
Was that the new way he was going to torture me? "Annoying? Thanks, Rob."
"I'm just kidding. You know you're my favorite sister. And definitely sexier than Jen. You know...since Jen is actually my sister and that would be disgusting if I thought she was sexy. But it's still okay if I think you are." He winked at me. "Speaking of which, Daphne, you have to come meet my real sister, not the fake one."
There were some weird things mixed in with that rant about sisters and I was happy to see that Daphne laughed. She must have already realized that Rob was an endless flirt.
"It was really great meeting you, Penny," she said.
"You too."
"And you have a lovely home." Before she could say anything else, Rob whisked her away.
"She seemed really nice. Did I say something wrong, though? I feel like I might have."
"Yeah. She actually lost her brother only a year and a half ago. She's having a hard time with it."
"James. I just asked if there was anything I should know before talking to her."
