But it wasn’t Hannah.
Oaklyn
Your sister guessed there was a guy in my life. Who knows how, but she did. I think I’ve steered her away by telling her it’s someone she doesn’t know, but she hasn’t made it easy. She really is a little PI; you weren’t kidding.
A guy in her life. That was an interesting way for Oaklyn to word it.
Fuck, she probably didn’t know what to say since after the night at the bar and the goddamn blow job, I wouldn’t talk about what was happening between us or what I wanted.
I didn’t know.
Shit, I still didn’t know.
I just knew I wasn’t going to let her anywhere near Macon.

How did my sister guess there’s a guy in your life?
Oaklyn
My smile.
Me
Oaklyn, I fucking warned you.
Oaklyn
I can’t help it, Camden. You make me smile—that’s all. I didn’t realize it was plastered all over my face until she called me out tonight. Trust me, I did everything I could to throw her off.

What were you thinking about?
Oaklyn
The other night.
“I think we just got our answer,” Declan said.
My eyes slowly lifted from my phone. “Your answer to what?”
“Why you need all the goddamn drinks,” Macon replied and nodded toward my cell. “I’m assuming that’s your girlfriend?”
“My girlfriend?” I laughed. “I know you’re not talking to me.” I glanced at Declan, and he was gazing at me too, grinning like a fucking fool.
“Oh, I’m fucking talking to you all right,” Macon replied. “I could tell by your face when you were looking at your phone that it was a message from her.”
I set my phone on the table, turning it over so they couldn’t see the screen, and busied my hands with my tumbler of vodka. “First off, she’s not my girlfriend. Second of all, I’m not talking to you about Oaklyn after the stunt you pulled the other night at the bar.”
Macon leaned his arms on the small table, the buttons at his wrists banging against the wooden top, the sound repeating as he linked his fingers together. “I think we need to address that so-called stunt.”
“For what reason?” I barked back.
“Because it worked.”
I looked at Declan just as he said, “See, I fucking told you so.”
