“Will someone explain this to me?” I ask, ripping my eyes away from Chase.
Gavin sighs. “Well, Meg?—”
“Meg?” Chase asks, screwing his face up like something is foul. “Meg?”
“What? We’re friends,” Gavin says.
“Were,” I say, pointing at him. “Wewerefriends. Our friendship is on shaky ground right now.”
“Why? Because I didn’t tell you that Chase was my brother? In the spirit of transparency, I have two other brothers, Mallet and Luke. And a sister named Kate.”
I glare at him. “Cute.”
“What?”
I lean forward, resting my chest against the table. “You knew, didn’t you?”
Gavin looks offended. “I knew what?”
“Last night, you knew I was talking about Chase.”
“You were talking about me?” Chase asks.
Annoyed at the situation, I whip my head to him. “Can you please stay out of this conversation?”
“Hell no, I can’t.”
“Why are you even here?” I ask, desperately trying to hold tight to my annoyance. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll rob you or something?”
“Have you been drinking?”
“No, but you make me want to.” I roll my eyes and turn to his brother. “Yes or no? Did you know I was talking about Chase last night?”
Gavin bites his lip and watches me.
“Gavin …” I warn.
He sighs. “Maybe.Kind of. I put two and two together when you started talking about Mom.”
I throw my hands in the air.
“So that means you knew all about Megan when we were building the fence this morning,” Chase says.
“Oh,so you were talking about me?” I ask, throwing his question back at him.
Chase glares at me before leveling it at Gavin.
Gavin looks back and forth between the two of us. With each turn of his head, the smirk on his face grows wider.
“Careful …” Chase warns.
Finally, as if he can’t restrain himself a moment longer, Gavin bursts into laughter.
I lean back in my seat and shake my head.The men in this family are killing me.
Gavin stands and pushes his chair toward the table. “You two need to talk. This whole thing you’re doing is the most bizarre but entertaining thing I’ve seen in a long time—and Luke is our brother.” He walks backward away from the table. “I’ll see you both later. Enjoy.”
I try to stare a hole into him, but he practically skips out the door.
