From a Wrong Turn to Mr. Right novel Chapter 161

Nannie Bruce: “Don’t tell me you can’t even handle this.”

Olivia Bennett: “Wait, what?!”

Nannie Bruce: “Trust me, just give him a big hug and a kiss, maybe even pick him up a little—no way he’ll stay mad.”

Nannie Bruce: “If that doesn’t work, bring out the waterworks, throw a little fit, you know—go full drama queen.”

Nannie Bruce: “And hey, you’ve got a bun in the oven. He’s gotta have at least a little sympathy, right?”

Olivia Bennett: “...”

She jabbed at her screen a few times, frustration bubbling over.

[Later.]

Honestly, not a single one of them was actually helpful.

Olivia stared at her phone for a while, thinking, then opened up her go-to social app.

She typed into the search bar: [How do you make up with your boyfriend when he’s pissed?]

Tons of posts popped up instantly. She clicked on one and scrolled through the comments.

GoodNightOwl: “If he doesn’t slap you with a pancake, you’re already winning. Why bother making it up?”

ALL: “He’s impossible to cheer up. I’m way easier to please than he is.”

CheddarCheese: “Don’t bother. Let him stew. If he’s that mad, just swap him for a new one.”

DoodleForest: “Try being sweet, say something soft, maybe it’ll help.”

CircleSquare: “Depends on the mood. If he’s REALLY mad, nothing works. If he’s still talking to you, he’s not that mad. A kiss and a cuddle should do the trick.”

...

There were a ton of comments.

Olivia scanned the replies—most were just people trash-talking their boyfriends. Nothing super useful.

Honestly, did she really need to make such a big deal out of this?

She’d just forgotten to tell him something, he’d gone out of his way for nothing, and yeah, maybe he was a little upset, but it wasn’t the end of the world. She hadn’t done it on purpose.

It was just a mistake. Not a disaster. Right?

Except… she had promised this morning she’d wait for him.

Olivia hunched over her phone, her thoughts drifting a million miles away.

The car slid to a stop in the garage.
