“Nothing. Eve had some emergency and Harlow went to pick her up.”
“What kind of emergency?” I ask. I’ve only talked toHarlow’s best friend Eve a couple of times, and both were entertaining experiences.
“Something about her boyfriend, I think. I dunno. I only heard Harlow’s end of the conversation.”
Morgan has a strange expression on his face, like he wants to say something but isn’t sure he should.
“Huh,” I say. “Well, since we’re all home, sitting around like losers instead of champions, why don’t we—”
My phone buzzes, and I dive for it.
Conor snickers. Hunter sighs.
RYLAN: Hi.
RYLAN: Boy ban has been lifted.
RYLAN: Please come fuck me.
“See you guys.” I stand, then hustle toward the door.
“You’re a fucking tamed stallion, Phillips!” Hunter calls after me.
CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX
AIDAN
Ipull in a deep breath, already knowing I’ll regret this. Knock loudly.
“What?” Conor calls.
I tighten my grip on the silky fabric, then open his bedroom door. Hart is sitting at his desk, typing on his laptop. He spins around, a smirk spreading across his face as he registers what I’m holding.
I exhale, then hold the ties up. “Which color?”
Conor stares at me for a few seconds, then bends over, laughing.
“Cool, thanks for nothing.” I turn to go.
“Wait! I’m sorry, I just—” The asshole I call my best friend is still wiping tears of laughter from his eyes. “I just was not expecting you to show up in my room asking forfashionadvice. Let me see the options again.”
I deliberate, decide I’ve come this far, then lift them up again.
Conor starts laughing again.
“Hart! For fuck’s sake, just pick one.”
“Okay. Blue, I guess.”
I glance at the navy tie. “I’m wearing black pants. Aren’t you not supposed to wear black and blue together?”
“Why? Because you’ll look like a bruise?”
I glare at his grin.
“Phillips, I’m the wrong person to ask.”
Probably true. Hart mostly wears a collection of Holt Hockey gear. But Hunter isn’t home, so he’s my only option.
