“I see his point,” Shanti said.
Willow smiled. “I have to admit, he’s winning me over.”
“I can’t wait to get my scrapbook,” Gemma gushed when she made it to us.
We all looked at her.
We then turned to find Brady, who was standing with Roam, Cap and Raye, gabbing with Stevie.
“I’m thinking about marrying a Russian,” Joey said.
She was with us too.
“It’s hard to remember he probably does very bad things on a daily basis when he’s in close proximity,” Gemma mumbled.
We all turned back to Brady, then we looked among ourselves.
“Hello?” Martha called crabbily. “Cocktail?”
Jessie handed me my cocktails.
I took one to Martha then went to Knox.
He was chatting with Gabe, Lan and Shaw.
After they all gave me chin juts (these dudes), I told Knox, “We have trouble brewing.”
“What?” he asked.
“Joey and Gemma both have crushes on Dimitri.”
Lan frowned.
Ferociously.
I watched him do this.
Closely.
Um…
What was that?
“Brady really needs to get his head out of his ass,” Shaw murmured.
I was still keeping an eye on Lan, and that didn’t seem to faze him.
So…
Was he into Joey?
Ohmigod!
“He’s got shit to deal with first,” Knox murmured in return to Shaw’s comment.
That got my attention.
And wait.
