I was putting my foot in my mouth every two seconds around these two. I cleared my throat. “I just meant, I’m glad to have a fresh start.” I cast a look at Colt. “I know you lived most of the year on the East Coast. Was it Maine?” Colt shoved the bottle into his cupholder. “Rhode Island.” He seemed to force the tension from his face. “Our place is right on the beach. You’ll love it.” I glanced at Ronan. “You live there, too?” He nodded. “We all do.” My heart thudded a little harder. “All?” The corner of Ronan’s mouth kicked up. “The four of us. Me, Colt, Dash, and Trace.”
