Me

I agree.

Maevey

Speaking of. How’s Grumble Bum?

I grin, having forgotten that I’d shared that nickname for Briggs with her a few days ago.

Me

As grumbly and bum…bly as ever.

Maevey

He’s kind of cute tho

Me

Maeve.

Maevey

What? He’s tall, dark and handsome. You once said that’s how you like your men.

Me

That’s how I said I liked my coffee. And I was kidding. AND, in case you’ve forgotten: I’M BEING BONDED TO THE PRIMROSE ALPHA.

Maevey

You might as well have some fun before you are.

I snort, and I see Briggs throw me a look in my peripherals, but I ignore him.

Me

This man is so far from attracted to me, it’s not even funny. He said I smelt terrible.

Maevey

Omg! What an a-hole.

Me

It’s fine. I probably do. I dunno why, but road trips always make me stink.

Maevey

At least you have a big fancy pickup truck to relax in.

I laugh again, but don’t tell her that we’re now in a tiny hatchback. She texts before I can reply.

Maevey

I’ve got to go. Love you.

Me
