Molly squeezed Kaiya’s arm. “While we both know that pondering unique ways to castrate Gavin is one of my favorite pastimes, let’s talk Dan.”
Kaiya blushed, deep red stains on her cheeks.
“Ohhh.” Molly released her arm. “Dish.” She stepped back, giving her friend a tip to toe full evaluation.
Kaiya fiddled with the ends of her hair. “There’s nothing to dish.”
Molly pinched her lips to the side. “You really think that’s going to work with me?Meof all people?”
“I really like him,” Kaiya said, quietly. “It’s like we’ve known each other longer than a day.”
Molly adored this part of watching two people fall in love—the space before any complications settled in. The spot where it was just two people figuring out that there was a future together.
“I think it’s perfection,” she said.
“Are you sure?” Kaiya didn’t seem convinced. “I mean, he’s not even my date. He’s yours.”
“I gladly handed him over to the perfect woman.” Molly swayed her hips as she stepped to the tent. “I couldn’t have picked better for him if I’d planned it myself.”
Though…she sort of wished she’d felt some of Kaiya’s excitement toward the man. Even if he was much better off with someone perpetually prepared, who remembered to bring appropriate underwear.
“In fact,” Molly said, scanning the room and…yep, Dan had his eyes pinned to Kaiya, “I think he’s looking for you.”
Molly gave her friend a nudge toward her future.
A future Kaiya had no problem stepping toward.
“Molly,” Rachel called.
Molly strode toward her. “I’m so sorry. I got totally waylaid—”
“Brady told me what happened.” Rachel crossed her arms. “He included the part about you and Gavin deciding not to disclose the events.”
Molly closed her eyes and shook her head. Best laid plans and all that…
“The situation is under control,” she assured her, opening her eyes once more.
Rachel quirked an eyebrow in that way only she could pull off. “Seriously?”
“It is.” Molly did her best attempt at lifting her eyebrow in the same way Rachel did, but she knew without even having to look in a mirror that she did not have that kind of facial muscle control.
“Brady said that Gavin was soaked and Oliver will probably never get to play Xbox again.”
Well. “That part is correct.”
If it were possible—and Molly wouldn’t have thought it could be—Rachel’s eyes got even kinder than their usual brand of nice. “He also said that he and Kellan played a pretty big role in the event that led to the soaking.”
“We haven’t done a full interrogation,” Molly said. Although, she was feeling the heat of Rachel’s inquisition.
“I’ll receive a full report of your interrogation?” Rachel leveled her stare at Molly. “As soon as it’s complete. Not after my honeymoon.”
“Of course,” Molly said, making apuh-shasound with her lips. “It’s not like I’m going to work together with Gavin on long-term-punishment options. That’s your territory.”
Because that would require them to spend long-term time together.
“No cutting remark about my ex?” Rachel stood back, giving Molly a solid once-over.
Molly shook her head. “Not this time.”
