“And I can probably get Bri to draw the tattoo for me.”

She broke out into a big smile. “That would be the perfect touch.”

“You didn’t tell me there was a contest…”

“That’s because I didn’t give a shit about it until just now when I realized we really could win.”

She stroked her fingertips along his jawline.

“I like this competitive side of you. It’s sexy.”

She looked at his crazy hair, yellowed-white tank top, and Hawaiian shirt with raised eyebrows expressing teenage judgment. “I hope other people have seen the movie, too, or you’re just going to look ridiculous.”

“I’m not worried.”

“And Dakota is going as who?”

“Hi’s wife, Ed.”

“Ed?”

“Short for Edwina.”

“Is she going to have crazy hair and a tattoo, too?”

“No, she’s going in a policewoman costume.”
