I may have made a big deal about how good this dessert is going to be to Blaire. We may have money riding on its being better than Cole’s tiramisu.

Brody

No pressure.

Austin

Besides my foot hurts.

Brody

I offered to go get the car and pick you up so you didn’t have to walk back to the gym. That not-so-little boy did land on it really hard.

Austin

You should have carried me, bridal style.

Brody

I’m more of a piggyback kinda guy.

Austin

Yeah, you are.

Brody

I’m so afraid to look at Urban Dictionary right now.

Austin

Well, hurry up. Safely.

Because the clinic just posted my test results, all negative, and I have gotten into the drawer to celebrate.

Brody

Did you reach for something blue and long?

Austin

Maybe...

Brody

Damnit, I told you I wanted to watch.

Austin

Guess you better hurry then.

Brody

Don’t let yourself come. I’ll be there in fifteen.

Austin

Ohh, topping from the top. Yes, sir.
