“You’re moving in together?” Jimmy guesses.

Angus grins. “We’re engaged.”

Jimmy widens his eyes. “Wow! You guys move fast.”

“Not that fast,” Angus whispers under his breath.

“Fast enough. Congrats.”

“Yeah, congratulations,” I say.

“Who popped the question?” Jimmy asks.

“I did,” Richard replies. “It wasn't planned. It felt right in the moment, so I went with it."

Angus leans against Richard. “It was romantic.”

“Have you set a date?” I ask.

“We haven’t got that far yet,” Richard replies.

“We’ll figure it out. There’s no rush,” Angus says.

“Have you decided who your best man will be?” Jimmy asks.

Angus laughs. “Is that a hint?”

“Would I do that?”

“Yes!”

Jimmy folds his arms. “Well, I am your best friend.”

“Yeah, you are. You were the first person I thought of.”

“Really?”

Angus rolls his eyes and shakes his head. “Yes.”

Jimmy grins like the cat that got the cream. “I’m going to be a best man.”

It’s impossible not to share his joy. I'm looking forward to becoming friends with Angus and Richard now they're not sneaking around.

“That barn…” I muse out loud.

Angus and Richard’s faces go red. I don’t need any more information than that. I’m glad I left it alone.

“We don’t need it anymore,” Angus says. “I should tell Dad to tear it down.”

“We don’tneedit,” Richard agrees. “But…” He raises his eyebrows.

“It was fun.” Angus has a dreamy look on his face.

“Hey, can we borrow it?” Jimmy asks. “If screwing in it was so much fun.”

“No,” the rest of us say in unison.

While it does sound like fun, I would be far too worried about Tony walking in on us. Besides, do I want to have sex in the same space Angus and Richard have been going at it for who knows how long?
