Finn shook his head in amusement, though he couldn’t fault the two of them. If he found someone who made him as happy as Winnie made Matthew, he’d be hard-pressed not to spend every hour of the day with her, too.

A fleeting image of Maisie settled in his mind’s eye, but he set it aside. She wasn’t in the picture anymore. Best to forget about her. He’d done that with countless other girls, he could do the same with Maisie.

Finn

So how’s about it, then, Winn? Got enough sugar for the rest of us?

Matthew

She says not on your lifeaoiejr f This is Winnie. I’d be happy to give each of you a kiss on your cheek. But that’s all I can offer, or Matthew might get a hernia.

Finn grinned, knowing full well that she’d taken Matthew’s phone, wrote a few words, then sent the text before he could delete it.

Matthew

I did not approve that message.

Finn

Too late. I’ll be claiming my kiss from your girl come Saturday.

Cedric

Same.

Graham

Me too.

Matthew

You’re all the worst.

Finn

Hey, your girlfriend offered it, boyo.

Cedric

You’d best keep an eye on Finn, Matthew. He seems ready to steal your girl.

Obviously, Finn would never. He had far more respect and love for Matthew, not to mention Winnie not really being his type. And while his friend was endlessly fun to annoy, Finn knew Matthew had had enough. When it came to Winnie, the Englishman’s toleration of teasing was significantly low.

Finn

Naw, you don’t have to worry about me, mate. I can behave myself.

Matthew

Since when?

Cedric

Yeah, that doesn’t sound like you, Finn.

Matthew

Finn the flirt.
