“Well?” I urged.
“Very likely.”
“Look at that. Itisall-knowing.”
Drew shook his head. “Still lame as ever.”
“That’s why you love me.”
“Thanks for the gift, frat boy.”
“You’re welcome, baby,” I said, leaning in to kiss him. When I pulled back, I noted someone approaching the Mustang. “Here comes Emily.”
Drew shook his head. “Couldn’t even wait for us to get out of the damn car.”
“I bet she was Sherlock Holmes in a past life,” I joked.
“Nah, she’s like that lady who wrote the gossip in the newspaper from that show our sisters made us watch.”
I pursed my lips, trying to remember.
“You know, with the funny hats.” Drew pointed to his head
“Ah,” I said. “Lady Whistledown.”
Ivy and Rimmel really loved that showBridgerton.When the new season came out, they had a tea party theme for pancake Sunday.
It was ridiculous, but Andi loved it.
“Yeah, her.” Drew agreed. “Serving tea to the ton.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t tell the girls you secretly liked that show,” I teased.
“Let’s go before Emily tries to get in the car with us,” he said, tucking his mini eight ball into the pocket of his leather jacket.
I didn’t even have the door closed before Emily was on us. “Drew! Trent! It’s been a while. So good to see you.”
Emily Metcalf was a nice woman who’d worked atGearSharkfor Drew’s entire career. She’d broken a lot of stories and spun a lot of headlines over the years. Honestly, though, every time I saw her, I couldn’t help but think about how she hit on Drew the first time they met. Was I a bit salty? Maybe. But Drew did love salt on his fries.
“Emily, you age like a fine wine,” Drew said smoothly, giving her a brief hug when she leaned in.
I preferred beer over wine.
“Charming as ever,” Emily purred, turning to me.
“Emily.” I greeted her. “Good to see you,” I said around another brief hug. “How have you been?”
“I’ve been great.”
“Glad to hear it,” I said genuinely.
“And you two? How have you been?” Emily asked. Drew started to answer, but Emily held up her hand, stopping him. “No. Wait. Save it for the interview.”
“Ah, yes, everything we say can and will be on record,” Drew quipped.
“Goes with the badge,” she said, holding up her press pass.
“So tell me about today’s shoot,” I said. “I have to say I didn’t expect such a big crew.”
