“She’s dating. She may have had a lunch date today, and I may or may not have responded appropriately,” I admit.
He laughs. “You went full possessive jerk on her, didn’t you? I didn’t know you had it in you. I’m proud.”
“Don’t be. She’s pissed at me. Says I need to apologize to my employees.”
“Well, yeah, that’s probably best.” He chuckles. “What about her though? How are you going to make it up to her?”
I sit up. “What do you mean?”
He sighs. “I forget that you don’t see the world like everyone else. You fucked up. You make it up to her. In fact, are you finally going to go after her? If you are, we need to strategize. You can’t do this alone.”
It’s like a light bulb turns on above my head. Why did I never consider asking the guys for help with this? They are all happily together. Could they really help me navigate these feelings?
“We should have a group call tonight,” I tell him.
“Wow. Okay, yeah. I’ll get the guys together. Hey, but start with flowers or something. Buy her something nice. It isn’t always the answer, but it will help soften her. You owe her an apology too, you know.”
I owe her way more than an apology, but I don’t tell him that.
“I’m on it. I’ll talk to you later.”
I hang up, taking a deep breath.
It’s going to be okay. I can fix this.
Chapter

IRIS
I’m pouringa glass of wine when my phone rings. Picking it up, I smile when I see Adrianna.
“Hey you,” I ask when I answer.
Her smiling face fills the screen.
“Hey, how have you been?” she asks.
“Good. You?”
“Busy but happy.”
“I can tell. You look like you’re glowing. Do you have something to tell me?” I tease as I take a sip of my wine.
She rolls her eyes. “No, I’m not pregnant.”
“Hey, can’t blame me for being curious. So what’s up?”
“Oh, I might have heard a rumor today…” She trails off.
Leaving the kitchen, I walk into my living room and sit down. “Do tell.”
“I heard you and Max are having issues.”
I roll my eyes. “I swear the men gossip worse than we do,” I mutter, making her laugh.
“Not wrong, but tell me what’s going on. It might help.”
