Page 97 of Saving His Heart
Lexi: She loves you, Preston. I agree with Dex. I’m not usually one for the circus you’ve got going on, but in this case, I think she needs it.
Easton: Her? Or you?
Preston: What the fuck is going on with you two?
Lexi: Nothing.
Easton: Absolutely nothing.

Preston:Any word on her sisters?
Trevor: I’ve collected two. Waiting at the airport on the third. I’ll bring them to Sylvie’s house to get changed and fill them in on the plan.
Preston: Thanks.
Preston: How’s Emory?
Lexi: In shock. It all happened really quickly. The FBI descended on the room before her judgment was even read. They took Donny the Dick Parade, the other doctor, and three board members into custody for fraud and a laundry list of shit none of us understood.
Preston: Take care of her. Please.
Lexi: Always. Lanie is playing Never Have I Ever with her over mimosas.
Preston: Are you kidding me? I need her sober, Lex! WTH? If she is drunk, none of this will matter.
Julia: Calm the hell down. Mimosas are necessary if you want us to get her on this plane without hog-tying her.
Dexter: Relax, Pres. Sometimes it’s just best to let these Vermont girls do things their own way.
Easton: …
Lexi: East, don’t say it.
Easton: …
Lexi: …
Preston: As soon as I make Emory mine forever, the two of you are going to sit down and have a little chat with me.
Lexi: No can do, my friend. As soon as this is all set, I’m heading back to Vermont with GG.
Easton: …
Colton: Does this have anything to do with what happened in Vegas?
Preston: What the hell happened in Vegas?
Lexi: Nothing.
Easton: Absolutely nothing.
Preston: WTF?
