Ronan:It’s childish.

Brennan:Fine.

My phone buzzes again.

Brennan has changed the name of the chat to: “Shoot First, Text Later.”

Brennan:Thoughts?

Kieran:No.

Ronan:I don’t pay you to fuck around.

Brennan:Pretty sure you’re not the one who pays me.

Ronan:Want to find out?

Kieran:Please write him out of the will.

Ronan:I’m tempted.

Brennan has changed the name of the chat to: “No Fun Allowed.”

I can’t hold back the ghost of a grin.

Brennan’s a pain in the ass, but he knows when to cut through the heaviness with humor. And after the morning I’ve had, it’s a welcome reprieve.

Kieran:Less talking, more working.

Brennan:On it, Mr. Boss Man! Don’t forget that throne is borrowed.

Ronan:Behave. Both of you.

Kieran:Please let me shoot him.

Brennan has changed the name of the chat to: “Three Men and a Baby Mama.”

Ciara has been added to the group chat.

Ciara:I’ve been added to the family group chat??? I feel honored!!!!

Brennan:You should be.

Ciara:Wait, Riley’s not in here!!! Let me add her!!!

Kieran has removed Ciara from the group chat.

Ronan:Did you seriously just remove my wife?

Brennan:Might as well chop your dick off now, brother.

Kieran:She uses way too many exclamation points. No one is that happy.

Brennan:Especially when they’re married to Ronan.

Ronan has removed Brennan from the group chat.

Kieran:Finally, some peace and quiet.
