She nodded. “Yeah, that sounds about right.”

“But I was surprised he came back so soon after leaving so suddenly.”

“Did he go to Canada already?”

I nodded.

“Wow,” she said. “That's not his usual behavior. He typically stays away for months or even years.”

“I know, right?”

“It sounds like something might have changed his mind,” Ryan said. “Maybe you planted a seed in his brain.”

I laughed. “It only took about several thousand years.”

Jen giggled. “Well, my brother is pretty stubborn.”

“Like me.”

“I was about to say that, but . . .”

“It's okay. I said it for you.”

She grinned and patted my shoulder. “As long as you're saying it, I don't feel guilty.”

I chuckled lightly. “I think we're going to talk soon about what we could potentially do. I really love the guy. I just wish he would stay in the same place for long than a few weeks, you know?”

“That's always been his thing.”

“We actually ended up arguing in the airport. For some reason, Levon thought I was back together with Gabe. He looked pretty mad about it.”

Jen whistled. “Dramatic.”

“You're telling me.”

“He didn't say anything mean, did he? I'll have his head if he did!”

I laughed. “Calm down, my dear knight. You may avenge me later if necessary.”

“I'll avenge you right now. I can still put him in a headlock.”

Ryan cackled. “Before he tosses you to the ground!”

“Hey! We use sibling rules! He's not allowed to throw me just because I weight fifty pounds less than him.”

I shook my head. “I forgot you two used to wrestle.”

“He taught me everything I know,” Jen boasted. “Which means I can use his skills against him!”

“Well, don't go beating him up yet. He apologized and I did, too. I think we were really just mad at each other for how things developed.”

“Did you two hook up after my wedding?”

I sank slightly in my seat as my face turned red.

Ryan chuckled from the backseat. “Your silence is telling, Clara.”

“Well, yeah. There was alotof tension between us.”
