I stopped. “Wes.”
“It’s fine. Win can tell whoever he wants.”
“It was just our table,” Ryan said, gazing at Wes. “Just your friends.”
Wes nodded. “So yeah. Me and Max, we’re together.”
Ryan smiled. “About fucking time.”
Wes groaned. “Seriously. Everyone really knew?”
“Bro,” Jamie drawled. “You would suck at poker.”
Wes buried his face in his hands. “I seriously tried so hard.”
“Bro, we had you pegged from the minute Max burst into the pool and about ripped my head off for touching your abs.” Ryan snickered.
“Told us to call himMaxen.” Jamie cackled.
I gave them both the finger.
“So, ah, you guys are cool?” Wes asked.
“Bro, sure.” Jamie nodded. “As long as you’re happy.”
Ryan nodded.
“Are you happy?” Jamie asked, making me glance his way. I knew he felt my eyes, but he ignored them.
So that was the way it was.
“Yeah. I am,” Wes said, fingers slipping around mine once more.
I forgot all about Jamie.
“Let’s eat. We have somewhere to be after this,” Ryan said, gesturing toward Shirley’s.
“We do?” Wes wondered.
Both Ryan and Jamie nodded.
“Where?” Wes pressed.
“It’s a bro secret,” Jamie answered.
“I don’t like secrets,” I intoned.
“Then don’t come.”
My back teeth snapped together.
“Whoa,” Wes said, immediately picking up on the vibes whipping in the wind. Looking between the three of us, he asked, “What’s the deal with you guys?”
“Why don’t you go ahead in?” I tried. “Order us coffee.”
I didn’t know why I bothered because he was clearly suspicious as hell. “Why?”
“I want to talk to your friends.”
