There weren’t any open tables, so I decided to join my brothers. Thankfully they’d found a spot near the back, farther away from the speakers. I grabbed an empty chair and dragged it over to where they were sitting.

“You guys plan this or did you all just wind up here?” I asked as I took my seat.

“It’s karaoke night,” Zachary said, as if that explained everything.

“I was bored,” Theo said. He was dressed in a Tilikum High School t-shirt and basketball shorts. “What about you?”

“Same. How’s your team looking for next year?” I asked. Theo was Tilikum’s high school football coach.

“We were just talking about that,” Luke said. “I was about to ask if we’re actually going to win a game.”

“Hey, we won a game last season. Three, in fact.”

“Let me guess,” Luke said. “It was a building year.”

“Itwasa building year,” Theo said. “We had a young team.”

Luke laughed and patted his shoulder. “I know, man. I’m just giving you shit.”

Theo rolled his eyes. “I’ll know more after camp later this summer. But I believe in those kids. They’re gonna have a good year.”

“Thanks, coach.” Zachary smirked at him. “We believe in you too.”

“Shut your hole, Z.”

Zachary just chuckled.

“How’s Audrey doing?” Luke turned to me. “Sucks what happened to her car.”

“Who’s Audrey?” Zachary asked. “And what happened to her car?”

“You know,” Theo said. “The new girl.”

“Hit and run,” Luke said. “Damage to the front bumper, broken headlight. I took care of her.”

“There’s a new girl in town?” Zachary looked around the bar, as if she must be there. “How did I not know about this?”

“She’s in one of Josiah’s rentals.” Luke met my gaze, his eyes full of challenge. “Cute, too. Dark hair, kinda curvy.”

“Stay away from her.” My voice was hard.

“Which rental?” Zachary asked.

I pointed at him. “You especially stay away from her.”

“I actually agree with Josiah on that one,” Luke said.

Theo raised his hand. “Me too.”

“What?” Zachary put a hand to his chest. “I’m hurt. If she’s new in town, she could use a nice guy to show her around.”

“You?” I asked. “Since when are you a nice guy?”

He grinned. “I’m not. But when Luke is done showing her the town, I’ll show her something better.”

“If you send her a dick pic, I’ll kick your ass,” I said.

“What am I, a child?” Zachary shook his head. “Dick pic. I’m insulted.”
