“Yes, you do,” Sam said.

“Yeah, cousin. Don’t try to deny it. We all see it,” Sebastian chimed in.

“Ava is a beautiful woman, and I enjoy spending time with her. It doesn’t mean I’m in love with her.”

“Uh-huh,” Nathan said.

“Sorry, Grayson, but I have the proof right here.” Christian held up his phone with a picture of me staring Ava’s way.

“Ah, look at that.” Simon grinned as he patted my back. “We all told you it would be a matter of time when you moved here.”

“You’re all a bunch of douchebags.” I pointed at them. “Stefan, how are you holding up?” I chuckled.

“I’m keeping a close eye on those two. I already told Lily that she’s to stay up here at all times with us.”

“Did you find out anything about the kid?” Sam asked.

“He didn’t say much in the car. I think he’s nervous.”

“And he damn well better be,” Simon said. “Hey, Logan,” he shouted. “Come over here.”

Logan and Lily walked over and stood in front of us.

“What do you want, Uncle Simon?” Lily narrowed her eye at him.

“I just want to know more about your friend.”

“Dad?” Lily cocked her head at Stefan.

“Sorry, baby girl. You know I can’t control my brother.”

“What are your future plans, kid?” Simon asked Logan.

“I want to be a detective.”

“No shit, really?” The corners of Simon’s mouth curved upward.

“Yeah. Police officers are heroes to me, and I want to be a hero. After I graduate, I’m going to join the academy and learn everything so I can be the best and become the detective I know I can be.”

“Wow. Right there, brother.” Simon grinned as he held his fist out to him, and Logan fist-bumped it. “I see a bright future for you, kid. If you have any questions, come see me.”

“Thanks, Detective Kind. I certainly will.”

“Come on, Logan.” Lily grabbed his hand, and they walked away.

We all started laughing our asses off.

“What the fuck is so funny?” Simon asked.

“I thought you were smart, bro.” Sam laughed.

“What are you talking about?”

“That kid totally fucking played you.” Shaun chuckled.

“Yeah, Lily is no fool. She saw this coming and coached him.” Sebastian laughed.

“Nah, she wouldn’t do that,” Simon said.
