“Love you, darling.”
“Love you, Mom.”
I hang up and finish off stacking the wood pile for later. I don’t want Lexi and Mr. Snuggles getting cold tonight.
I might also pick up something for dinner while we’re out, because the heavens are really opening right now.
With a sigh, I take a seat on the sofa with the Gazette and click into our family group chat, consisting of me, my brothers and my dad.
Me
You guys will never guess who the celebrity is at Lexi’s showing
It doesn’t take long for a response.
Noah
Woah, hello to you too. How’s Lake Haven? Are you gonna spill or do we have to guess?
Me
You can guess away but I’m sworn to secrecy
Brad

Me
To bug the crap out of you
Noah
Give us some clues
Me

Noah
Pffffff idiot
Brad
FFS brother
Noah
More to the point, how are you doing all the way out there with Lexi?
I texted Noah last night to tell him the whole debacle before I went to bed, including Mr. Snuggles in the shower with me. He thought I was joking. Trust him to not keep his mouth shut.
Me
I’m doing just fine, but there’s a storm coming in
Brad
