"Yeah," Mason said and gave James a death stare. "Let's go home. I really am exhausted." He wrapped his arm around Bee's waist. "And I could use some alone time." His hand slipped to her ass.
"Oh my God." She shoved his hand away. "We'll be back later. Stay out of trouble, you two."
"Maybe we should be saying that to you," I said with a laugh.
Bee laughed and Mason pulled her to the door.
"I'll be back in one second." I slipped off the bed and ran after Mason.
"Mason!" I said. He turned around and gave me a small smile. Almost as if he had put on a show for James. So that James wouldn't really know how much Mason cared. I'd never understand men.
"Thank you, Mason. For everything." I gave him a big hug.
He patted my back. "What exactly are you thanking me for?"
"Porter came up to the apartment because of what your investigators found out. If it wasn't for you..."
"You mean, if I hadn't interfered James would be single right now? I finally could have had him all to myself!"
"Mason!" Bee said and lightly shoved his shoulder.
"I'm just kidding, Penny."
"And thank you for being here. For both of us."
"I meant what I said. There was nowhere else I'd rather be." He squeezed me and then released me from his hug.
"And thanks, Bee." I gave her a hug too.
"These past few weeks have been such a rollercoaster ride," she said and hugged me back. "I hope that you know you can count on me now."
"I know. And I already knew it." I stepped back. "I love you guys."
Bee smiled. "We love you too."
Mason nodded. "Go back to your husband. I'm feeling weirdly emotional and if you ever saw me cry I'd never live it down."
"Maybe if Rob saw you cry. I wouldn't judge you."
"Not a risk I'm willing to take." He winked at me.
I laughed. "I'll see you guys later." I watched them walk away toward the waiting room. James and I were so lucky to have them in our lives. I slowly walked back into James' room and sat down on the bed beside him. "So, what was that about?"
"What was what about?"
"You congratulated them. And then Mason kept shaking his head."
"Yeah, I don't know. I guess I must have had a weird dream or something."
"I know that you're lying. And now that we're married you said you could break bro-code." I lay down next to him.
"I probably should have never agreed to that."
I laughed. "Come on, tell me. I'm not going to stop nagging you until you do."
He smiled. "I thought they'd be engaged."
"What?"
