“Mom’s friend, huh?” Austin looked like he was fighting a smile.
“Yeah, this is Mom’s friend,” Beau looked at his brother. “Why are you looking like an idiot right now, Austin?”
“I don’t look like an idiot, and I don’t really know Lucy. I just had the pleasure of meeting her.”
“Oh, where did you guys meet? Didn’t you just come back?”
“Well, you know I went to the bar for lunch.”
“Yes, I know. And Mom was upset. You know she likes you having lunch at home.”
“I can’t have lunch at home every single day.” Austin rolled his eyes. “But I saw Lucy at the bar.”
“Oh, okay.”
Austin looked at me. “Is that how you know Mom then? You met her at the bar?”
“Does Mom ever go to bars?” Wyatt spoke up.
“You know she’ll go with Dad,” Beau answered.
My heart was pounding uncomfortably. Austin hadn’t taken his eyes off me. I prayed to God that he didn’t bring up anything that I’d said in the bar.
“Well, I have some information that I think you guys will want to know,” Austin said.
I glared at him. “Well, no, I don’t think so. I—”
“Did you know that Mom is Lucy’s mother-in-law?”
“What?” Wyatt’s eyebrows wrinkled. “What are you talking about?”
Beau coughed for a couple of seconds. “Huh? What do you mean Lucy is Mom’s mother-in-law?”
“I didn’t say Lucy is Mom’s mother-in-law. I said Mom is Lucy’s mother-in-law.” Austin’s smile got a little wider as he stared at me. “Isn’t that right?”
“I didn’t say she was my mother-in-law.” I shot him a dirty look. “I was just saying that—”
“Oh, yeah. Sorry. You were just saying that she was going to be your mother-in-law, right?”
“… Yes.” I swallowed hard. Oh God, please don’t continue.
“So wait, you’re dating one of my brothers?” Wyatt had a big smile on his face. “How comes I’ve never heard about this before?”
“That’s exactly the same thing I was thinking,” Austin said. “Have you heard anything about it, Beau?”
“How would I have heard anything about it?” Beau looked pissed off. “I seem to be the last one to know anything in this family. So, Lucy,” he glanced at me, “exactly who are you dating?” And then he frowned. “And how did you meet him? Didn’t you say you came from New York?”
“Yeah, I did just fly in from New York,” I said, not sure what to say.
“Is it Chet?” Wyatt asked.
“Uh, no.”
“Flint?” Beau asked.
“No.” I shook my head, swallowing hard.
“Don’t tell me it’s Huck,” Wyatt started laughing. “Did Huck go and get himself an internet girlfriend?”
