She looks like she doesn’t belong anywhere near Midnight Rodeo.
She looks like she belongs here.
My phone buzzes once. Then again. And again.
Dad’s voice cuts across the table.
“Dexter.”
I sigh and pull my phone out. “Yes, sir.”
“Put the phone away.”
“Yes, sir.”
I flip it to silent anyway and check the screen under the table.
The Delulu Fam chat is blowing up.
Of course it is.
I open it.
Ethan sent a picture.
Of me and Lexy.
Sitting next to each other at the table.
Ethan: pic
Grace:Oh wow! She's gorgeous!
Jace:Please tell me she's single@Dex?
I sigh and start typing.
Dex:you know taking pictures of people and sharing them is illegal right?@Ethan
Ethan:Not if it's family.
Cas:As the town sheriff I'm choosing to ignore this...
Dex: @Jaceshe’s my employee and off limits to you douchebag!
Jace:So you're dating her?
Dex:no, but still… off limits.
Jace:oooh you jealous@Dex? Sure you don't want to date her? She's hot!
Dex:@Jacedon’t make me drive up to Texas just to kick your ass…
Jace:you wish!
“Why is everyone suddenly on their phone?” Mama’s voice rings across the table.
I shove mine away immediately.
