I cleared my throat and flicked my gaze between the two men as I delivered "If you two are hiding something then you need to come clean now."

Stone stilled in his seat and reminded silent. His leg that rested against mine did not move and neither did his big muscular chest.

Brennan frowned while asking "What do you mean?"

"You disappear at night like some reverse vampire." I mentioned to him "You have left Lana a few times and it is always at the same time."

"We just like to get home to see our parents." Brennan tried to deliver strongly.

"Is that before or after you have installed your grandmother's fridge?" I asked.

"After."

"That is funny." I leant over the table and whispered just in case Lana might be miraculously listening "Lana told me that you were installing an oven."

The surfer's eyes widen before he released a sigh "I don't know what you want me to say, Ella."

"Just admit that you are secret night-ninjas."

"We are not secret night ninjas." Brennan let out a small laugh.

I sighed and added more seriously "Promise me you will not hurt Lana."

For the first time since we sat down at the table, Stone spoke up "What about you?"

"What about me?" I asked while tilting my head upwards so that I could peer at him.

"Would you not be hurt?" The gravelly voice asked.

Stone and I had a weird dynamic. I thought to myself about how empty it would be without being called Medusa every day. I would be empty without his teasing and taunting every day.

A small part of me would be hurt.

To avoid saying the truth, I stuck my tongue out at both of them before delivering sassily "I don't like you both enough to get hurt."

The thick muscular leg against mine stilled again.

"Anyway," Brennan changed the topic of conversation "Before Lana comes back, I wanted to tell you that I am going to ask her to be my girlfriend tomorrow."

"That is great." I gushed, my inner romantic threatening to escape.

"Tomorrow is Saturday—" Brennan began.

I cut him off with a smart comment "Thank you for reminding us, Father Time."

He rolled his eyes but continued "We are all going to the beach and then the pier. I'm going to ask her to be mine at the Ferris wheel where we first met."

My inner romantic was happy, but I was still confused on why he said we.

"Have I been trapped in a hallmark movie?" I deadpanned "I'm happy for you and all but why do I have to go?"

Brennan scratched the back of his head while his gaze shot to Stone.

A few minutes later, Brennan muttered "I want you both there."

"Why can't you ask her tonight?" I asked.

There was no answer from him.
