Her eyes widen, and I could’ve sworn I’d already told her this, but maybe I haven’t. Even Ethan comes in wearing a shocked expression.

“What? You’re both actin’ surprised we didn’t.”

“We are,” they say in unison.

“So what happened?”

“I was a little drunk and a lot horny,” I admit, my cheeks heating at my confession. “But he turned me down after we fooled around some.”

The look on Ethan’s face as he holds his sandwich has me confused.

“What?” I finally ask.

“I can’t believe I’m gonna say this, but Knox is a total womanizer and doesn’t say no to anyone.”

“Thanks,” I deadpan. “That makes me feel great.”

“No, I mean…” He brushes a hand through his hair as he finishes chewing. “What I’m sayin’ is he didn’t cross that line with you because he respects you more than some chick that he’ll bag and tag,” Ethan confirms.

“I’m just shocked he was able to withhold from someone as hot as you,” Harper adds. “You’re a fuckin’ babe.”

I grin at how she always hypes me up. “I mean, I am a catch.”

“Hence why you have them both salivating for you.” Harper waggles her brows, and I laugh.

“Between the way he acted and his messages today, my head’s a damn mess. He told me that he doesn’t chase pussy as if I am just some random woman he picked up at the bar.” Thinking about it makes me angry all over again.

Harper stops what she’s doing and widens her eyes. “Well, if he wants to be like that, perhaps you shouldn’t choose either of them. Then there won’t be any pussy chasing.”

“It might actually come to that,” I admit. “I hate being the reason they’re not gettin’ along, and the pressure to decide is almost too much. Either way, whatever does happen, I’m not sure things can ever go back to the way they were.”

“Well, either way, there are other horses in the pasture, fish in the sea, clouds in the sky…”

“I’ve got it,” I say, taking a huge gulp of my coffee.

We work for another hour before Hayden wakes up. After he’s fed, I hold him and kiss his chubby cheeks.

“You’ve got the best mommy and daddy in the world, but Aunt Hadleigh loves you the most,” I say. I’m not technically his aunt, but I’m claiming the title anyway. “I still can’t believe you have a baby,” I tell Harper.

“I know. The fact that I’m responsible for a tiny human is frightening.”

I chuckle at her expression. “Oh stop, you’re already such a great mom. I hope you’ll have an instruction manual written when it's my turn because I know how much of a perfectionist you are,” I tease.

“Hardy har har, but probably.”
