My fists remain hidden below his dining room table. “I didn’t ask for your permission.”
Cal’s head bounces between us. “Are we seriously going to fight on Christmas?”
I ignore him. “I’m not coming back.”
“Okay. I guess we are.” Cal grabs his drink and raises it toward me in solidarity. “Finally, it’s your turn to be the problem child for once. Welcome to the club.” He takes a deep swig.
Declan scowls at Cal before turning his glare at me. “We already discussed this in-depth.”
“It doesn’t matter what we decided before. Things change, and I’m not giving up my position as the Director, so find a new CFO.”
The muscle in Declan’s jaw ticks. “How could you possibly prefer being the Director of atheme parkover becoming the CFO of one of the top companies in the world?”
“Because I met someone special and I’m not going to give her up for some goddamn desk job thousands of miles away where I would be miserable without her.”
Declan looks at a loss for words.
“Holy shit,” Cal whispers under his breath. “Are you serious?”
I nod.
Cal blinks twice before speaking again. “What have you been hiding?”
“Nothing I want you poking your limp dick around.”
“Now Idefinitelyneed to visit Dreamland. Our baby brother has been keeping some big secrets from us.” Cal elbows Declan with a smile.
Declan shoves Cal away. “It’s only considered a secret if I had no idea.”
Cal stares at Declan. “You knew this whole time and you didn’t tell me?!”
“He took a vacation. That in itself was a cause for alarm. Try to use some of the few brain cells you have left, Callahan.”
“Fuck you.” He glares at Declan before turning his head in my direction. “I hate feeling left out.”
Declan refocuses his irritation on me. “You’re doing all of this because of a girl?”
“No. I’m doing this because I like who I strive to be when I’mwiththat girl.”
“Damn. Rowan might not speak much but when he does—” Cal does a chef’s kiss. “Poetry.”
Declan shakes his head, clearly not sharing Cal’s sentiment. “You’ve completely lost your goddamn mind.”
I shrug. “Maybe. But at least it’s fun.”
Cal laughs.
“You’ll be begging me for the CFO position in six months.” Declan crosses his arms.
I shake my head. “I won’t.”
Cal claps a hand on Declan’s shoulder with a smile. “Cheer up, buttercup. I can lend a hand and help you with your duties until you find a new replacement.”
“The job requires more math abilities than adding two plus two.”
“I think my little brain can keep up.” Cal taps his temple. He might have ADHD, but he has the highest IQ out of all of us. If only he had the drive to apply himself.
I speak up. “You know, Iris could help you with some of the workload. I saw how well you worked together, and she could definitely handle some of your tasks while you search for a wife.”
