“So you and Emma, huh?” Carter said conversationally. “Yeah. It’s pretty new,” Niko said, realizing he’d never had this conversation before. How had he made it to thirty without ever telling a friend he was seeing a woman? Carter pumped his fist in the air. “Yes!” “I didn’t realize you were so invested in my love life,” Niko said wryly. “I am when my wife bet Gia two nights of babysitting that you and Emma would hook up.” “That’s what a unit is?” “Two glorious twin-free evenings,” Carter grinned. “Beckett’s gonna freak. This almost makes up for the beard.”
