I’m about to kiss Natalie Sinclair . . . until I see fucking headlights coming our way.

Walking into my house a few minutes later, I kick my flip-flops under the bench in the mudroom and lock the door behind me.

He leans in close to my ear and whispers, “Play along, Little Sinclair.”

There is no mistaking the strained look on Brady’s face. “Oh, Nat. There are so many things I want to show you.” What the actual fuck? Did he just say that?

“Why the hell do you look like you rolled around with a sweaty stripper?” Mr. Sinclair asks Murphy this with an absolute sincerity that’s not shared by the group.

🤣🤣🤣😭🤣😭

“Actually, she said you were taking a break. Very Ross Geller of you, Coop.”

And she may be the size of a large child, but she has the determination of a four-star general. She
