I haven’t even told him about my family yet. He thinks we’re going to invite them to the mating celebration. I keep waiting for the right moment, but it just hasn’t happened.
Brynn
There’s no right moment for that dark shit. Rip off the Band-Aid.
Me
I need to
Brynn
Seriously, Miles. It’s going to hurt him if you wait, and as stubborn as you are, I know you don’t want to hurt him.
My chest tightened.
Me
You’re right. I’ll do it tonight.
Brynn
You’ve got this
Me
Thanks, B
Tatum said my name, snapping me out of my conversation with Brynn.
“Miles, how are the new branches of Coffee & Toffee coming?”
Right.
New branches.
Tatum knew everything that was going on with the new locations, so she was either asking for Zander’s sake or Sebastian’s. I wasn’t sure which, and wasn’t about to ask.
I cleared my throat, fighting the urge to bite my lip when Zander’s gaze met mine.
The bastard wore pride better than anyone I’d ever met. Maybe because he was proud ofme.
“They’re good. The one in Wildwood is set to open up at the end of the year, and the one in Wolfcrest is on schedule for January. The sign’s going up for the one on Talon Street at the end of the week, and Corrinne is planning on opening the doors two weeks from tomorrow. Do you guys still have the new bakers’ training on your schedules?” I dragged my friends into the conversation.
“Yep,” Brynn confirmed.
“Mmhm. With the Evan drama, we can’t go anywhere anyway.” She winked at me, and I grimaced.
The last thing I wanted was a reminder about the Evan drama.
“How many new bakers are you hiring?” Sebastian asked.
“Two. They’re both going to cover two of the shops in town,” Tatum explained. “Brynn needs a break.”
“I’m fine.” She rolled her eyes, but I knew she was dying for some time off. We’d been a lot busier since the Villins started giving our name out to friends, and had even started mailing candy orders out. It was a headache, but it was my headache, and it was seriously upping our revenue.
“You’re not even sleeping these days, B. Don’t try that shit with us.” Tatum shook her head at Brynn.
“She’s fine. We’re going to find her some hot guy to hook up with while we’re hiking, so she’ll be her usual perky self again soon.” I threw an arm around her shoulders and pulled her in for a hug.
