“Sure. I’ll be there.”

Once she’d wandered off to her little group of stuck up friends, Tyler scowled at me.

“Are you seriously going to hang out with her? After everything she did to you?”

My eyes flashed to his, my voice low with warning as I spoke.

“I fucking forgave you, didn’t I? She’s my sister, Ty. If she’s going to make an effort, so will I.”

His mouth slammed shut instantly, but Jensen smiled at me, all proud and shit.

I could always trust him to back me up with support.

“I think it’s good for you to try and have a relationship with her.”

“Thanks, Jense,” I smiled sweetly, Caden lifting his gaze to mine as he put his soda on the table to join the conversation.

“We’ll hang out at Ty’s so you girls can hang at home if you want? Claire likes to swim like you do.”

I frowned, jealousy surging through me before I could mask it, my voice petty.

“Why do you know that?”

“C’mon, baby. We grew up with her,” he sighed dramatically, making me scoff.

“That’s a funny way to say you fucked her.”

He rolled his eyes, but a nasty smirk teased his lips.

“No offense to your newfound sister, but everyone’s fucked her. Mom’s not back from her trip yet either, so you’ll have plenty of time to catch up. Join us when you’re done?”

“I’ve got to see Skeet at some point,” I stated, his shoulders shrugging lightly in understanding.

“All good, see him first. You home tonight?”

I nodded, giving him a small smile as he leaned over and kissed me tenderly.

“Good. I’ve missed curling up with you.”

Swoon.

“I’ve missed it too.”

I watched Lukas eat his lunch silently, deciding to leave him alone.

He and Jensen had been fighting when they thought I’d gone to sleep, so I knew they had some shit going on.

I glanced at Jensen to find his eyes already watching me cautiously, knowing that I was thinking about Lukas’s mood.

The moment Tyler and Caden headed off to fit in a gym session, I switched seats so that I was beside Lukas, his body tensing up instantly.

I wasn’t going to talk about his private shit in front of Jensen, and he quickly relaxed as I kissed his shoulder and went back to eating my lunch silently.

Jensen cleared his throat and stood.

“Well I’d better get going. I’ll see you later, baby.”

I frowned as he kissed me, watching him pat Lukas on the back before leaving without another word.
