“You’ve been fucking for weeks. You still believe she hates you?” Tanner snorts.
Drew throws him a murderous look. “Holding hands,” he hisses. “They’ve been holding hands for weeks.”
Dax coughs into his glass and pulls a neutral expression to his face. “Sure. Holding hands.”
“Well, all the holding hands and you really thought she still hated you?” Tanner tsks. “You have a lot to learn about women. They say one thing and mean another. All the time.”
“All the fucking time,” Dax agrees.
“So she doesn’t want me to marry Gabrielle?”
“Oh, she does,” Tanner says.
“Yeah,” Dax confirms.
“Because she’s in fucking love with you, you idiot.” Drew knocks back the rest of his drink.
I stare between them all. Nothing makes fucking sense.
“So two nights ago when we—”
Drew glares at me.
“—held hands. And then she told me to marry Gabrielle, she was what? Telling me what she thought I wanted to hear?”
The three of them all groan at once, and Drew slaps me up the backside of the head. “Idiot.”
“She’s doing what she thinks is best for you,” Tanner explains, taking pity on my pathetic lost ass.
“Because she loves you,” Dax adds.
“God knows why,” Drew mutters.
“Is it too early to say because I hold her hand harder and better than anyone else?”
Drew’s hand curls into a fist and he growls at me.Fucking growls.I move back in my seat.
“Yeah, too early,” I mumble.
Tanner chuckles, and Dax snorts into his drink, his shoulders shaking.
“What do I do?”
“What do you think you should do?” Tanner asks.
“You do what will make my sister happy,” Drew cuts in.
“I do what she wants me to? I marry Gabrielle?” I stare at him. “How can I?”
“You do what will make her happy,” Tanner says, fixing me with a look like there’s a secret code I’m missing.
“You do the right thing. You already know what that is,” Dax says.
I look at Drew again.
“You’re going to hurt her either way,” he says.
My eyes widen. “Then how the fuck do I—?”
