Scott laughed, but inside he fretted. He hadn’t been expecting any of his teammates to be there. That would only make things more complicated. And, god, it wasn’t fair. He wanted to tell Carter—his best friend—that he was bringing his boyfriend to the gala. His wonderful, gorgeous boyfriend who made him feel lighter and happier than he could ever remember feeling in his life. He wanted to dance with Kip, and kiss him, and introduce him to everyone so they would know how lucky Scott was. Instead, Scott said, “Maybe. We’ll see.” Carter smiled. “I hope so. I can’t wait to meet her, man.”
