Being on Lo’s shitlist, I can handle, but if I’m on Lily’s, I dunno…I think I’d still go fling myself off this planet and sob.

Lo slowly trains his glare at the ceiling. “Jesus Christ, how’d we screw up this jigsaw puzzle?” “I didn’t,” Connor says, his voice carrying little inflection. “My PI did.”

“Lo—” “For Christ’s sake, Connor, he’s going in my car. I’m dropping him off. I’m picking him up. If you have a problem with that, take it to your god, whoever that may be. And if it’s yourself, there’s ten billion mirrors in your mansion, have fun.”

“You’re something else.” “Something hot.” I put it out there. He touches his chest. “Do I look like your girlfriend?” “Nah, ‘cause I don’t have one.” “Music to my ears.” “Knew we didn’t have the same music taste.” Lo begins to smile, and so do I.

She’s in deep thought. “Sometimes I think Charlie wants to feel a kinda pain that he can’t reach, and he targets people who he believes can take it and give it back.” “Like your brother?” I realize. “Yeah, like Moffy.” She shrugs. “It’s just a theory.” She adjusts her backpack.

Like Charlie. And yeah, some in my family might say I shouldn’t be taking pointers from that cousin of all my cousins. But I’m not Moffy. I don’t make the right decisions all the time, and maybe I understand Charlie more in that instance.

“Lo knows I can’t have my family thinking I’m in love with her.” “Love?” Eliot’s grin has exploded. He buttons his slacks with an amused, delighted laugh. Tom is grinning now too. He told my best friends he’s trying to date me. That he loves me. It’s sinking in, and I feel my smile mushroom. Donnelly shares the grin. “You think I would do all of this just for a girl I sort of like?” “This is beautiful,” Eliot says, “and tragic all at the same time.”

Donnelly finally asks, “You talk to any guys at the bars?” I shrug again. “Sometimes.” His face noticeably tightens, and his brows lift while he glances at the entrance again. His six-foot-three build has tensed, and I shift my weight uncertainly. “Your worry looks angry,” I say. His blue eyes rest gently on mine. “‘Cause you’re looking at jealousy.” Flush ascends my neck. Oh. I give him a once-over, realizing jealousy is hot on Donnelly, the attractive type of hot.

but besides Charlie helping me with my fics, he has an interesting viewpoint of people. I like talking to him about the world. “Charlie is like a rogue space explorer,” I say. “The times where he’s not provoking Moffy, I think he’s kinda cool.”

He starts clapping. I tilt my head and watch, smiling. “Appreciate the applause. You can send me a fruit basket next.” “I’ll do that,” he says dryly. “Right to 2149 You’re Not Funny Lane.” “Sending the basket to yourself?” I nearly laugh.
