"Oh, we’re not disagreeing," Luke said. "We’re just going to enjoy watching you fall. Last Maxwell brother standing." He winked. "But not for long."

"Remind me why no onein this family believes in hiring movers," Travis said one week later. I was moving into the loft, and I'd enlisted the help of all my brothers.
"I think our family policy is great," Declan said seriously. Dad had drilled into us at a young age that you don't pay anyone else to do something you can do yourself. We all lived by it, even Travis, although he did so grudgingly.
"Why pay a moving company when I can ask you all to do it for free?" I teased as Luke and I carried the couch inside.
“I agree,” Tyler said. He was carrying a huge box.
"Maybe because we all have much better things to do. I have a wife and a newborn," Travis grumbled.
He and Tate were each carrying trash bags containing clothes and other odds and ends over their shoulders. I didn't have many things to begin with, since I’d been gone for so many years. The couch had been in storage. I'd had it in the first apartment I shared with friends in college.
"The couch smells old. I think I might change it soon," I said after positioning it by the wall.
Declan stared at me. "Dude, I think we should add an addendum to the family policy. Don't make anyone work just for fun."
"It's not for fun," I said. “I knew I had a couch, and I didn't bother looking for another one.” The loft had furniture except for a couch. I'd asked Avery what she thought about it, and she’d liked it.
"The place looks good," Luke said appreciatively, glancing around. "Modern."
“I like the neighborhood too,” Tyler added.
"Yeah. It just has one problem," Travis said.
I snapped my head at him. "What?"
It seemed good enough to me, but I wasn't an expert on buildings. Neither was Travis, though.
He grinned. He was about to give me shit.
"I don't think it's big enough to cut through the sexual tension between you and Avery."
