Bryan shot up, frowning. “Seriously? That is never going to happen. Not in a million years. She’s… annoying.”
“Have you met you?” Kaiden chuckled.

“Oh shit,” Bryan gawked at me, “tell me you didn’t invite her tomorrow in some lame attempt to set me up with—”
“What? No!” I lied. “As if I’d ever do that.”
“Good,” his eyes darkened, narrowing right on me, “because I’m not interested in her.”
He didn’t finish his sentence out loud, but I saw the words written on his face.
