“Poor Quinn.”

I glanced at my husband, and found him shaking his head mournfully.

“Why poor Quinn?” Kat asked.

“Dan still has his crush on Nico, and Quinn isn’t here to defend his bromance.”

I snorted because this was true. Dan had a bit of a crush on Nico. But then, we all did.

As though reading my thoughts, Sandra mock-whispered, “We all have a crush on Nico. Even you, Greg.”

He didn’t deny it; instead, opting to say, “I’m going to start a rumor that Dan and Nico bought tickets to the Cubs opening game, they’re going together, and are hoping to get on the kiss-cam.”

I clicked my tongue in mild disapproval. “You are a gossip, Greg Archer.”

“Yes. I am. Annoyingly, Alex is worthless at spreading rumors because he’s smitten with Drew.”

“And you’re smitten with no one,” I stated.

“Untrue. I’m smitten with you.”

This earned him an appreciative grin; I lifted my chin. “Well played, husband. Well played.”

“So we’re going to…What? Be friends?” He looks almost boyish then. “Yeah. We are.” His eyes spark. “Fair warning. I’ll still be picturing you naked half of the time. So get used to a bit of leering.” “You just had to go and ruin the moment, didn’t you?” “Probably should get used to that, too.”
