No, it is. The chainsaw thing is a little over the top, though. Even for him.
Mom:
How serious is this?? How long have they been dating?? And why hasn’t he brought her over to meet me??????
Declan:
An excellent question. Atlas?
Lincoln:
He’s probably busy with his new girlfriend doing coupley things. But he told me he’d bring her by this week for family dinner.
Mom:
Perfect! I can’t wait!!!
Declan:
Neither can I.
Mom:
Does she have any allergies, Atlas? What’s her favorite food? I want to make a good impression!
Group text with Atlas, Xander, Declan, and Lincoln:

Atlas:
I’m going to kill you.
Declan:
Which one of us are you talking to?
Atlas:
Yes.
CHAPTER TWENTY
SUTTON
Quinn:
Don’t think I didn’t notice how you ran out of the clinic like your pants were on fire. You can’t avoid me forever.
Sutton:
I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Quinn:
Sure you don’t. Just know my interest only grows the longer you put off this conversation. And the more rumors I hear.
It wasn’tthat I wasavoidingQuinn exactly. More just…artfully dodging any one-on-one interactions with her ever since the night at One Night Stan’s. Because the truth was, I didn’t know what to tell her.
