James

I am not.

Ryan

Stop texting us and go stare at your hot wife.

James

I’m multitasking.

Luke

I hate being the single one.

Beau

What am I, chopped liver?

Luke

I need a girlfriend.

Nate

Last I checked, you have many female companions.

Luke

Are you calling me a slut?

Nate

Yes.

Luke

Fair enough.

“You know, there’s a whole sea out there if you want to look at it,” Maura says, interrupting my thoughts.

I put my phone back in my pocket. “Sorry. Answering texts from the guys.”

“What are they saying?”

“That Luke’s a slut.”

She nods. “Yes, I think I heard Brinley mention that.”

“Have you had a chance to look at today’s schedule?” I ask, sipping my orange juice.

“Why don’t you tell me all about it?” She bats her eyes playfully. “I know schedule talk is basically dirty talk for you.”

I chuckle and pull out my tablet. “We have another hour to shower and get ready. Then I thought we’d visit the Greek porphyry supplier’s quarry.”

Her smile widens. “We get to go to the actual quarry? Not just a storeroom?”

“I made a few calls.” I ignore the swell of pride in my chest at the way her eyes light up. “It's a bit of a hike to get there, but the scenery is beautiful.”
