I narrow my gaze and swallow hard.

“When you say us, you mean you, right?” I ask.

Dina grins. The grin that says,Oh, Big Sis, you are about to be so mad at me but also maybe low-key impressed.

“Actually,” she drags the word out, way too pleased with herself.

Her eyes flick to MJ again.

Oh. My. God.

MJ knows what’s coming.

I snap my gaze to her, but instead of looking guilty, she just takes a sip of her tea like she’s washing her hands of the situation.

“Dina,” I say slowly, “who exactly did you sign up?”

Dina claps her hands together, practically vibrating with excitement.

“You!”

I blink. “What.”

She beams. “And guess what? You have a date and it's tomorrow night!”

Oh no.

No, no, no.

I am so going to kill my little sister.

Right after I find out who the hell she signed me up to date.

“Of course, it makes sense you had to put yourself in the app to test it out,” Doug, the completely obnoxious Wolf Shifter I sometimes hire to research people or projects for me, states around a mouthful of pizza.

I glare at him from my seat on the couch, trying to decide if I have the patience to deal with his nonsenseorif I should just launch him out the nearest window.

To make things worse, the fucker isn’t eating just any pizza.

Oh no. He’s devouring a slice fromPizza Girls, the one place I’ve been actively avoiding for the past two weeks.

Bad enough their food is addictive as hell.

But also, my Bear is obsessed with the place.

The craving is so bad I started going into the office on purpose just to be there when our standing order for lunch twice a week fromPizza Girlsarrived.

Four days in the office in two weeks.

That’s more than I went in for all of last quarter.

And now? On top of that shame spiral, I just got a notification fromDate to Matetelling me I have a match.

A date.
