I open my mouth to retort and Coop quickly waves a hand between us. “Alright. Alright, back to your corners.” He shoots his friend a look of reprimand. “Don’t be an ass, man.” I lean back and smirk smugly, causing Alec’s eyes to narrow on me further until they’re nothing but slits. Coop turns his head to look at what I’m doing and I wipe the expression from my face but he still squeezes my knee in reprimand. “You too, Brat.”
