“I’m okay with a tracker on my car now,” Luna mumbled.

“Totally,” Harlow agreed.

I was too.

Totally.

It was then Luna’s gaze sharpened on me. “You didn’t answer the question about Eric.”

“Well, I would, if I had any freaking clue what was going on,” I told her.

“You were making out when we showed yesterday,” Raye pointed out.

“We weren’t. Itseemedlike he was about to kiss me, but when he left at the end of the night, he chucked me under the chin.”

Raye and Luna winced. Harlow actually flinched.

Yeah, that was what I was sayin’.

“I have a massive crush on him,” I announced. “And I think he regards me as a little sister.”

That time, all of them flinched.

“You have a crush on him?” Harlow asked.

I nodded.

“He’s crush-worthy, that’s for sure,” Luna stated.

I nodded again, but more heartily that time.

Then I shared, “He told me about his family, none of it good. I’m not going to tell you because it isn’t mine to tell. He also told me why he left the FBI, which wasn’t good either.”

“He was in the FBI?” Harlow breathed.

Both Raye and I nodded at that, which meant Cap had shared at least that part with her.

“That’s a whole lotta sharin’ goin’ on when you’re informally adopting a lil’ sis,” Luna noted.

She had that right.

As such, the mindfuck Eric left me with.

“Are you sure it’s a little sister thing?” Harlow queried.

“He chucked me under the chin, Lolo,” I reminded her.

She scrunched her nose.

Mm-hmm.

“He’s all lazy bedroom eyes and good movie choices, but it seems that’s just him,” I groused. “I don’t think he knows he’s a big tease, but he definitely is.”

“Lazy bedroom eyes?” Luna asked.

“Yeah,” I confirmed.

“He has great eyes, but I wouldn’t call them lazy or bedroom,” Luna stated.
