“Damn, I look good.” Carter pivots, watching himself in the mirror. He tugs on the lapels of his tailored suit jacket. “I’d fuck me.” He hands his phone to Emmett before he presses his palm to the floor-length mirror, sticks his butt out, and looks back at us over his shoulder. “Take a picture. Gonna send it to Ollie. Let her know what she’s in store for tonight.” Emmett shoves a stool toward Carter. “Hike your leg up.” His head bobs as he snaps pictures. “Yeah, that’s good. Ollie’ll like that.”

He chomps away, mumbling, “Need welation-sip a-bice?” “Relationship advice? From you? Absolutely not.” “Why not? I’m great at relationships.” I snort a laugh. “You’ve been in one.” “Yeah, and I’m married to her, ’cause I fucking nailed it the first time around.”

I’m out of my seat before I realize my feet are moving, and I step in front of Jennie, shoving Kevin backward. “Don’t fucking touch her,” I growl as Jennie’s hand slips up the back of my hoodie, gripping a fistful of my shirt, tugging me closer. “Don’t fucking talk to her. Don’t even fucking look at her.”

“Today I used one of your dildos to fix a dent you put in your brother’s car, then watched you moan over every single bite of your dinner and lick your fingers clean. Being with you is like watching my favorite TV show. I’m always on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what comes next.” She beams. “I’m your favorite?” “My fucking favorite.” “Can you show me?”

I pull up the search bar and type in the words I’m looking for. When I find an appropriate picture, I forward it to Jennie with the words after I’m done with it. Her response comes exactly four seconds later. Sunshine: Did you seriously send me a picture of a wrecked car?

My eyes fall to the tall object sitting on the floor between him and Olivia, and I bury my face in my hand. “Does he have a fucking tripod stand and a video recorder? Does he not know cellphones come equipped with video function now?” Adam chuckles. “He’s a proud brother.” Proud he is. He spends the entire show half-assed clapping at the end of each performance before he examines the program and announces how many songs there are until Jennie’s. It’s the very last song, so by the time we get there and Carter leans forward and opens his big mouth, our entire row and the one behind us all drone ...more

“I took Susie outside, told her I was in love with the brunette who fell off her chair and whacked her head, but that I hadn’t even told her yet because I’m a dipshit. Then I said you’d call me a twat-waffle, not a dipshit.” Broad fingertips sweep over my cheekbone, brushing away wisps of hair. “There’s nobody else, Jennie. There never has been and never will be.”

I pull the necklace from the box, turning the small flower between my fingers until I find the seam and coax it open.

No, he’s got his face pressed to Olivia’s belly, his hands cupped around his mouth as he makes these weird, deep, staticky breathing noises. “What the fuck are you doing, dude?” Jaxon finally asks. “Luke,” Carter speaks into Olivia’s stomach. Two more raspy noises. “I am your father.”

“What?” He looks at her. “Oh, human baby? Yeah, this is our first human baby. And our last.” He laughs anxiously. “Just kidding. We’re gonna have three, probably. Maybe five.” Another shrill laugh. “Five human babies.” He runs a shaky palm over his mouth, his skin exceptionally pale. “Hey, you got any buckets around here?” The receptionist’s brows pinch. “Buckets?” Carter points across the room to a trash can, striding toward it. “Oh, that’ll do.” He grips the rim and promptly empties the entire contents of his stomach into the bin.
