I just grin and watch what he types next.
Camden
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I just got her to come around to being my girlfriend.
Goldie
Oh, you’ve had that in the bag for a while. I don’t think it’ll take much convincing.
I roll my eyes. “Easy, bestie,” I murmur.
Noah
This is great, Camden. You guys are perfect for each other.
Tully
What they all said and a huge fucking congratulations! But are we really going to pretend like this is news to us, fam? We’ve been talking about it for the past twenty-four hours straight. Ace was on the bench yesterday and sent me the picture of the two of you kissing on the Jumbotron. We’ve been taking bets on how long it would take before you told us. I have to say, you keep it close to the chest, dude.
Goldie
True confession: I actually knew before the Jumbotron. I’ve known for a while…
I put my hand over my mouth when I see that part. My eyes are wide when I look at Camden. I tap the phone to distract him and giggle.
Tully
WHEN WILL I EVER GET THE TWIN BENEFITS?! You’re supposed to tell me all the things!
Goldie
Juju said it was a big secret! I couldn’t do that to her.
Dad
True confession: I walked in on Juju on the phone…doing some dirty talking where she mentioned your name, son…so I’ve actually known for a bit myself.
My head falls back.
“Someone’s been keeping some secrets,” Camden sings.
“Ugh. Your family is terrible at keeping secrets,” I groan.
“Sounds like they’re not the only ones.” He chuckles.
I tap his phone again, which makes him laugh harder.
Tully
No one tells me ANYTHING.
Dylan
Same here. I’m offended.
Camden
Same here.
