“That’s pretty cool.”

“Yeah. He’s been exhausted every day, but he does look happy.”

Mack glanced at her with an unreadable look in his eyes. “Was that the one? Jesse said she’s got a few more places to show you otherwise.”

“What else did Jesse say to you?”

Mack groaned. “You’re like a dog with a bone. Answer my question first.”

“I barely know her.”

She narrowed her eyes, but Mack refused to look at her. “Did you get her number?”

“Clementine.”

“Does that dad voice work on Dig?”

Now that they were fucking, he was at a whole other level. She liked knowing the effect she had on him. That when they were apart, he couldn’t handle being away from her.

Clementine

I approve.

But should you be drawing vaginas while there are kids around?

Oakley

I gave them a task, so they’re busy.

Clementine
