“That’s the one,” Quin said.
Kit scrutinised it. “Neither of us are facing the camera.”
“It’s perfect.”
“For what?”
“For sending it to everyone I know.”
“Is that how you plan on announcing the engagement?” Kit asked.
“Yep,” Quin said with a nod. “I’ll post the photo in my family group chat when we get back.”
“You sure about that?”
Quin gazed into Kit’s purple-blue eyes. “Never been more sure of anything in my life.”
THIRTY-ONE
Kit
Saying goodbye to Shaun,Rake, and DJ took more effort than it did the last time. For one, Kit wasn’t departing with the ghost of their dead creator as an unwanted hanger-on, and for another, he was sad to see them go.
“I would like a hug,” DJ said, opening his arms.
Perhaps Kit didn’t care that they were leaving, after all.
“Bring it in,” Quin said, going in for it.
DJ slapped Quin on the back when they broke apart. “Consider the job offer,” DJ said. “You won’t need to work with Kit’s money, but it’ll give you something to do if you want it. Plus, you being able to meet with people during the day will help us a lot.”
Quin nodded. “I’ll let you know.”
“Shall we also book in another borgy at some point?” DJ asked.
Quin’s gaze flitted over to Kit. “Maybe.”
“We’reengaged,” Kit reminded him.
“So that means no borgy?” DJ asked, a frown marring his face. “Whatever. Hug?”
“Fine!” Kit said. “But don’t expect me to do any of the work.”
DJ smirked and threw his arms around him whilst Kit stood ramrod still. “Bye, Kitty boy,” DJ said, skipping backwards before Kit could swipe at him with his claws.
Shaun raised a brow at Kit. “You better hug me back.”
Kit conceded on that point. “If I must.” He didn’t mind, and it was quite a nice hug. Not like being enveloped by Quin, but pleasant and fleeting.
Rake waved but made no move to touch either of them. Kit presumed he’d had enough of having to touch people who weren’t his boyfriends over the past few days, so he didn’t take it personally.
“You sure you wouldn’t rather we get rid of the necklace?” Shaun asked.
Kit shook his head. “We’ve got it.”
“If Lawrence returns again, I’m bowing out,” DJ said. “There’s only so much resurrecting a guy can take.”
“We’ll make certain this is the final time,” Quin said.
