Razor saw Zary and her mother standing near the door to the garage.
“I came over to tell you to add one more for dinner.”
Gunner raised his eyebrows and scowled. “Who?”
“Striker.”
“No—”
“Aine invited him.”
Razor waited while Gunner processed through what he’d just said.
“Why?”
“Evidently they’re…uh…seeing each other.”
“Tell her to stop! Jesus. Striker? What’s wrong with her, is she blind?”
Razor smiled when Zary came up and put one hand on Gunner’s chest and her other arm around his waist.
“He isn’t that bad,” she murmured.
“Yeah, he is.”
Zary stood on her toes and whispered something Razor couldn’t hear.
Gunner looked at her for a few seconds and then turned to Razor, gritting his teeth. “The more the merrier.”
“That’s what I told her you’d say.” He chuckled and slapped Gunner’s back.
Razor could still hear him muttering something he didn’t try hard to understand as he walked back out the front door.

“What did he say?” Ava asked when Tabon walked back into the kitchen.
“More the merrier.”

He smiled. “Somethin’ like that.”
“We should go check in,” Aine said to her mother.
Peggy looked at her watch. “It’s early.”
“Let’s go for a walk on the beach, then.”
“Honey, I’d rather—”
Aine’s face tightened, and she motioned toward Ava and Tabon. “I think they want to be alone,” she seethed.
“It’s okay,” Ava said, but Aine shook her head.
“We need to go check in.”
Ava shrugged. “Suit yourself,” she said, kissing her sister’s cheek first and then her mother’s. “Should we plan to get together for dinner later?”
