All four of our phones light up at almost exactly the same time.
Cami laughs. “That has to be Dex.”
It is.
Dex
HAPPY NEW YEAR BITCHES
I LOVE YOU
THIS BAR IS HELL
There’s a moment then:
Dex
someone please kiss somebody hot for me
I stare at the screen.
Ronan reads it over my shoulder.
Cami starts laughing so hard she folds into Griffin.
I type back.
Micah
Handled
Ronan makes a quiet, amused sound beside me.
Three dots appear immediately.
Then stop.
Then appear again.
Dex
EXCUSE ME
Griffin laughs.
Cami reaches for my phone.
“No. Absolutely not. He’ll call.”
My phone starts ringing.
I see his name and decline it immediately.
Dex
RUDE
The room dissolves into laughter.
