ME: Liar.
DOVE: That's all you're going to get.
ME: Then I have no answer for you.
DOVE: What do you expect me to say? I'm so happy it's like I'm standing under a rainbow and glitter is falling from the sky. Happy now?
ME: You paint a pretty picture. What color glitter? I imagine it's blue like your eyes.
I realize I'm probably pissing her off even more than she already is by antagonizing her, but I can't help myself. I'm genuinely smiling for the first time in weeks. Working recon for Max is exhausting. He wants daily updates. Since I didn't feel like hunting down Leo or Evie yesterday, this is what I sent him.
ME: Leo took a thirty-minute shit today. Evie had a conversation with him through the door while he dropped his load. But they didn't touch, so you should be happy about that. Especially since I never heard him turn on the water to wash his hands. {puking emoji}
He responded exactly as I expected.
MAX: You better be kidding me. If you're serious, I'm going to spray him with Lysol from head to toe after I beat the shit out of him for being within a football field of her.
ME: You want the Lysol to sting, don't you?
MAX: Just be straight with me for one fucking second!
ME: Nothing to report. Not sure how long he was in the bathroom today, but I didn't see Evie anywhere near him. Happy now?
MAX: No. Now I want to beat the shit out of you for fucking with me.
ME: Good luck with that. I'll see you tonight.
I'm smirking at the memory when Max walks into the kitchen. Our eyes connect and he sneers at me before walking away. Someone's still pissy. My phone vibrates in my hand as he disappears up the stairs.
DOVE: Please, just be honest with me.
ME: I miss you.
DOVE: I meant about Max and Cleo.
ME: I don't miss them at all. Max was just here. He's avoiding me right now because he wants to punch me.
DOVE: BRADY!!!
DOVE: Are you at the Kappa house?
ME: Are you here yet?
DOVE: I didn't realize you were going to be there.
ME: If you want to call Max out, you might have to see me.
DOVE: I never said I didn't want to see you. But I need to know before I come inside and make an ass of myself. Is Max sleeping with Cleo.
ME: Why not ask her?
DOVE: Because she's my best friend, and if they're not doing anything, I don't want to ruin our friendship by accusing her.
I can feel her agony through her text. She's on edge. She's irate at Max but concerned for Cleo. And maybe a little upset that she's out of the loop. Because in Mya's mind, they're already sleeping together. And Cleo kept it a secret from her.
ME: No, Cleo's not the one.
DOVE: Thank you. Where is Max right now?
