“Scottie!”

“What?”

I sit back down and nod toward the computer. He smirks back, like he’s expecting something salacious.

SLACK DIRECT MESSAGE

Olivia Diamond:

NSFW!

Gavin Scott:

Then let’s go home

Immediately

“Okay, I’m ready to go,” I say a few minutes later. “Actually, wait. Just got another email. Hold that thought!”

From: Tristan Cross

To: Olivia Diamond

Subject: Thank you

Olivia,

Did you get a new phone? My texts don’t seem to be going through.

I wanted to thank you again for your help in my contract situation. Our board was thrilled with the money we were able to save and gave me a large bonus to show their appreciation. I’ll be taking a trip to Paris next week and would love for you to join me. I know a hotel with excellent room service and sound proof walls.

Let me know

-Tristan

I guess some things never change.

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN

GAVIN

6 Months Later

“Cheers!”

We all clink glasses, toasting to the official sale of Sizzl. Olivia planned a special getaway for the four of us at a resort in Healdsburg.

“To our first—official—double date!” she shouts. I guess I only thought we were celebrating the sale.

“This is so exciting!” Andie cheers. “Wanna jump in the pool?”

Daanesh reaches across the lounger to kiss her cheek. “You both go ahead. I need to talk to Gavin for a minute.”

“Ominous,” Liv whispers, squeezing my hand. She downs the rest of her flute and pops up. “I call the floating unicorn!”

We both watch our girls jump in the water, our faces covered in stupid grins. Daanesh catches it at the same time as I do. “Damn, we’ve gone soft.”

Now that both of our secrets are out, we’ve gotten a lot closer. This may be the first official double date, but he and Andie join game night every week.
