Bree’s chocolate banana milkshake had lost much of its thrill. “He’s not.”

“But he knows you’re in contact with Eric. Why didn’t I know that? I’m your best friend.”

Allison knew her brother had tried to reach her through Tyson. Bree hadn’t mentioned Eric for precisely this reason. Allie was a romantic at heart. She’d taken Eric’s desertion hard. It had taken Bree months to convince her she didn’t want daily updates on his activities. She had no intention of bringing Eric up until she was certain he was back permanently. Marcus had blown that out of the water. “He stopped by after he found out Marcus talked to me. The next day he followed up and apologized. Then he took me out for dinner, which got cut short because he was called into work.” She left it there. Last night hadn’t been aboutthemas much as it had been them forgetting about the outside world for a time.

“So you’ve been in personal contact too. Have your naughty bits been in contact?”

Bree’s blush answered for her. “Will you please keep it down?”

“Oh my God!” Allison shrieked.

A yes would make Allie’s day, maybe her month. She needed all the positive news she could get. “He wants to. We’re talking about it.”

“I demand all the juicy details.” Allie took a long draw on her straw.

Yeah, Bree wasn’t going anywhere until she shared everything.
