“There’s this man who wants me but he won’t ask me out on a date because his friend used to want me,” Cin drawled, tossing a chip down and staring pointedly at Chadwick as she did. “A friend who I texted recently and who hasn’t texted me back… What do I do to pull his head out of his ass?”
I hid a smirk but Eoghan groaned. “Is this going to be about our love lives?”
“It’s going to be about whatever we need, I guess. If that means you need advice on which jewels to buy your wife, Eoghan, then that’s what it’ll be.”
Though he rolled his eyes, he muttered, “Why can’t you have both of them?”
Savannah arched a brow. “See, there’s my kind of thinking. Why wouldn’t Hermione go for Harry and Draco? It just doesn’t make any sense.”
“Are you talking about a throuple?” Cin crooned. “That’s my favorite dynamic.”
Chadwick, though his ears were burning, cleared his throat. “It’s for kids, Cin.”
“Boring,” she dismissed.
“Who the hell are Hermione, Harry, and Draco?” Troy demanded.
“Lyra’s not old enough yet to have read Harry Potter,” I grumbled to Troy as Ren started purring as he began kneading my lap. “Unfortunately for me, Kat is.”
“I like it. It’s sweet,” Savannah chimed in. “I wish she hadn’t ended up with Ron and that they’d fucked on screen. But hey, it’s for teens.”
“Because teens never fuck,” Eoghan mocked.
Chadwick rumbled out a laugh. “Ever. Abstinence is the only way.”
“Said the bird to the bee,” Savannah sang as she shoved her chips into the middle of the table then, with a pretty smile, chirped, “All in.”
My lips twitched as the rest of the table groused when the majority folded. Only Chad stayed in for the hand.
Ten minutes later, when I peeked at Savannah’s cards before I shuffled them back into the pack, I had to hide my surprise.
My sister from another mister had definitely become better at bluffing—I guessed that was what happened when you became the queen of the Five Points.

TEXT CHAT
Star: You’re going to have to stop me from wanting to strangle Rachel.
Lily: She’s not that bad.
Star: If she talks about this fucking gala one more time at a meeting, I’ll scream.
Lily: Scream, then. Lol. She’ll know you’re angry if you scream. Let it out. Holding stuff back only builds resentment.
Star: You’ve been listening to Tiff, haven’t you?
Lily: Helped her study for her finals last semester, and now I read her textbooks for fun.
Star: For fun? Jesus H. Christ.
Lily: It’s interesting.
Star: Riiiiiiight.
Lily: You and Rachel are both control freaks. That’s why you don’t get along. You’re not happy sharing the throne of queen bee with someone else.
Star: I don’t think I’m queen bee.
