“Oh my God, you should see your face. Wait, can you grimace again while I take a picture?”
Cocking a brow, I wiped my mouth with a napkin, leaning back in the chair.
“Okay, you have to tell me. What made you order that?”
“I’ll tell you on one condition.”
“Okay...”
“Don’t laugh.”
She narrowed her eyes. “I’ll try. But that warning means this is one hell of a story.”
“I came here with Tess, and she ordered that. We kissed.” It had tasted delicious on her.
“So you ordered that because she ordered it? That’s sweet, Liam.”
“You’re not going to comment on the kissing part?”
She shrugged, but her smile was infectious. “You liked her the second you saw her. I like her too. She’s good people.”
“Yeah, she is. She even came to Gran’s with me yesterday.”
Becca’s eyes widened. “You already introduced them? Wow.”
“Gran fell, and I was worried. Anyway, she came with me.”
“Is Ellen okay?”
“Yes.”
Becca was grinning from ear to ear. “I can already hear wedding bells.”
I groaned. “See? That’s why I don’t discuss my private life.”
“Okay, okay. I won’t give you shit.” She watched me intently while she ate the whipped cream off her drink with a little spoon.
“I haven’t seen you date seriously in years. Unless you’re better at keeping your private life quiet than David and me.”
“No, I haven’t. Just...”
“The usual dates that don’t pan out for anything more than some sex?”
“This conversation is uncomfortable,” I replied.
She grinned. “And why is that?”
“The three of us never discuss this.”
She took a large sip from her cup, wiggling her eyebrows. “No, David and I do. We just don’t bring it up to you. You’re so...uptight.”
My eyes nearly bulged out of my head. “I’m not... Okay, I wouldn’t use that word, but I’m not chatty.”
“Liam, everyone has their own way of doing things. I’m not judging, just making an observation.” She slid lower in her armchair, looking very pleased.
I was glad she was more relaxed. Now I just needed to track down David.
“You’re thinking about David, aren’t you?” she asked.
