We’ve gotten a little closer in the past six months since she informed me that Luke’s never had a long-term girlfriend. Apparently, she thinks I’m a permanent entity. After spending a few days together on the Amalfi coast, we planned to go back on a couples’ trip in the next few months.

She shrugs, tossing her mahogany hair behind her shoulder. Luke gives her a hug before he extends a hand to Garrison, shaking it firmly.

“Hey.”

“Hey.” Garrison says before turning to me with a smile. “Congratulations are in order.”

I nod, giving him a side hug. “Thank you! I can’t believe it’s happening.”

Fallon wraps an arm around his waist. He and Luke still aren’t on best friend terms, but they’re grown much closer and the former tension has eased substantially. Fallon and I are determined to make them love each other like brothers again, and we’ve been scheming to get pregnant at the same time and force them to bond over fatherhood.

She winks at me, leaning down to whisper in my ear.

“I’m ovulating right now.”

“Oh my gosh, me too!”

She pulls back, winking. “It’s happening tonight. I can feel it.”

I laugh, nodding as I look over at Luke. “They’ll never know what hit them.”
