I nod, remembering the spray-painted sign.
“It’s good. I’m still getting settled,” I say.
I don't want to tell him about my phobia and go into that whole story again. I take another bite of spaghetti and hope that the subject changes.
“Which cabin are you in? The horseshoe one? That one is the nicest,” Kai says with a warm smile.
“Uh…”
"She's staying here with me," Wyatt answers for me, and Kai's eyes widen as he turns to take in his brother.
I see Kai raise his eyebrows at Wyatt and Wyatt glares back at him. I watch the silent conversation until they seem to remember that I’m still here or it ends.
“That’s nice,” Kai says before he shoves a piece of garlic bread in his mouth.
“Yeah, I like the house,” I say awkwardly.
I look over to Wyatt and he’s staring at me already.
“Where are you from?” Kai asks and I tear my gaze away from Wyatt to his brother.
“Kentucky.”
“What’s that like?”
“It’s nice. Lots of open space.”
“Do you have any siblings?”
“No, it’s just me and my dad.”
"Lucky, I had to grow up with three other brothers and a sister, and let me tell you, it was a nightmare," Kai says dramatically and I laugh.
“Yeah, it sounds awful,” I agree and he grins. “So awful that you all decided to stay and work right next to each other.”
“Well, someone has to stay and keep an eye on them,” he says.
“We have Remy for that. You can leave,” Wyatt says and Kai rolls his eyes.
“Remy barely leaves his house. He’s never going to keep an eye on you.”
I listen to their squabble. The truth is that I always wished for a sibling, someone that I could be close to.
“Where’s your sister?” I ask when they stop teasing each other.
“She lives in Los Angeles,” Wyatt says.
“Farm life wasn’t for her?” I pry.
“No, she’s a receptionist at a big law firm.
“Do you get to see her a lot?”
“Not as much as we’d like. She’s always busy with work. That boss of hers keeps her busy,” Kai says.
We finish eating and I stand, intending on clearing the table.
“I’ll get it,” Kai says, taking the dishes from me.
