“What opportunities?”I tap my phone to read through his texts with Slade, stopping when I get to the wordlibrary.“Oh my god, you did not!”

He just gives me one last grin before turning back to the table and asking if anyone wants a drink.

I go back to my texts and reply to Slade.

Olivia

Ignore all of Callan’s suggestions.I just want what I already had planned.

Slade

Really?His ideas were great and I can easily make them happen.

Olivia

I don’t want to spend that kind of money.

Slade

I’ve got contacts in the industry.We’ll get the cost down.

Slade

Let me price it up for you.

Olivia

Okay.

Olivia

And thank you.

Callan comes back to the table with drinks, and after we engage in pointed looks that convey our positions on my remodel, we get back to the game.

Bradford and Kristen win the game.

Gage accuses them of cheating.

Hayden decides Gage is right.

Callan declares his brother is a filthy fucker who likes to draw dirty shit.

I state my belief that Kristen won the game in fact.“She’s smart enough to read her husband’s mind and decipher his drawings, and she’s smart enough to know how to draw what Bradford would understand.Next time we play, I’m on Kristen’s team.”

Callan’s father laughs and asks, “When are we planning on going away again?”

“I can get away in October,” Hayden says.

“That would work for us,” Bradford says.

Callan pulls out his phone to check his calendar.“I can’t do the first week in October.”

“Are you heading to Utah?”Gage asks.

Callan nods.“Yeah.”

“Have you found someone to do the Alps with you?”Gage asks.
