Grace shakes her head. “Your fingers are bigger than the game pieces.”
“You’re Catholic, right, Rivera?” Dash asks.
“Yeah?” I answer, wondering what that has to do with Jenga.
“Got any kids?” he asks.
“Hell no,” I answer, a bit offended.
He chuckles. “Then you go. Your pullout games gotta be strong.”
“Oh my God.” Ellie laughs and elbows Dash. “I think we need to keep this one.”
“Dash.” I shake my head.
“Yeah, man?” he says, still laughing at his own joke as he looks back at me.
I flip him off, and the room erupts in laughter.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see that includes Riley Park.
Watching Riley and Oz blatantly flirt and throw sexual innuendos around like confetti at a kids party is fucking brutal. Hell, I’d rather take on Yale’s biggest players alone than have to go through that shit again.

Three grueling hours later,I drop off Hart, Oz, and Skinner three buildings down then head to ours.
“You good, man?” Koa asks as I park.
I was good three fucking hours ago, and yeah, maybe I should have called it a night two hours and twenty minutes ago, but there’s no way in fuck I was leaving Oz and Riley alone.
“Why wouldn’t I be?” I ask as I open the console and grab a reusable bag while still trying to hold back the venom in my tone as I get out. So yeah, fuck you, Leah. Men can multitask.
“Tonight was a blast, man.” Dash slides out of the back seat and begins to shut the door.
“Decent night,” I force out as I walk around the back, open the hatch, and grab the mini vac.
“What the hell are you doing?” JT asks in a slur.
I don’t answer.
“Get him upstairs,” Koa tells Dash.
“Why Grace gotta be hooked up with that frat boy?” I hear JT complain as they walk away.
“Love is love is love, brother.” Dash chuckles as he guides JT to the lobby door.
I close the back hatch and walk around to open the back driver’s side door and see Koa standing, arms crossed, looking at me from the back passenger door.
“What’s up, Rivera?” he asks.
“Gonna go with nope, we’re not going there.”
He stretches his neck from side to side. “Nalani’s grandmother came back from a ‘girls’ trip’ out East and was sick for months, in and out of the hospital. Nalani decided she wasn’t going to transfer to Lincoln and stayed back in Maui.”
“Her grandmother okay?” I ask.
He shakes his head. “No, she passed away.”
