“Everything is fine, Max. Really. It’s actually something good. Something I think you’re really going to like.”
“What about Wes?” I couldn’t stop myself from asking. I wouldn’t like anything that would make him unhappy.
I could practically hear the smile in his voice. “Oh, Wes too.”
“Should I call him?”
“Nah, I want to show you first.”
“Yeah, okay,” I said, my worry taken over by curiosity.
“See you in a bit,” Win said.
“Order some pizza or something, would you? I’m starving.”
Win laughed. “Will do.”
When the call ended, I hit the button for Wes and then glanced sheepishly over my shoulder and held up my finger, asking for one more minute.
Wes answered on the second ring. “Hey.”
“Hey, baby,” I said, warmth pooling in my stomach at the sound of his voice. “Where are you?”
He scoffed. “Like you don’t know.”
I smiled into the phone. “Don’t be like that, baby. I didn’t look at the app. I was calling so you could tell me yourself.”
He made a little sound. “I’m having pizza with the team.”
“Us too!” Madison and Rory chimed in from somewhere nearby.
I grunted. “They’re a given.”
“Max said you’re a given,” Wes told them.
Their laughter filled the line.
“Are you still at work?” Wes asked.
“Yeah, finishing up a tattoo now.”
“I’m sure it looks awesome. Take a pic for me.”
“Will do,” I said, charmed he wanted to see it. “Hey, I’m gonna meet Win after for dinner.”
“Okay.”
“So I won’t be home for a while yet.”
“Okay.”
I paused. “You sure you’re okay with that?”
He laughed under his breath. “Is there a reason I shouldn’t be?”
“Maybe you miss me too much,” I teased.
“I do,” he echoed. “You can make it up to me later.”
