“For once,” I murmur.

“I’m going to ignore that because I love you.” Emily turns in her seat to fully face me. “Where were you last night?”

“I went grocery shopping.”

“Alone?”

“Aiden went with me, but he had to get groceries too, and we

live right next to each other. It makes sense to ride together.”

Sarah nods. “Makes perfect sense.”

“Wednesday night?” Emily asks.

“We had a darts tournament.” I stare at my sister, who lifts a condescending brow. “What was I supposed to do? We’re on a team together.”

“My point exactly. And what about Tuesday night?”

“I took Edna to trivia night at the Senior Center like I do every Tuesday.”

“Who went with you?”

I roll my eyes. “Aiden.”

“And after trivia night?”

I blow out a breath and look straight ahead. “We dropped Edna off and went to Eddie’s for dinner.”

When I glance at my sister, she smiles smugly. “What about Monday night?”

“I had a date.”

“Brad,” Sarah says. “Things were going great until he whipped out his phone.”

I cringe.

“What was wrong with his phone?” Emily asks.

“It was wrapped in duct tape.”

“Why?”

Sarah chuckles from the back seat. “So the aliens and the government couldn’t listen in on their date.”

Emily’s eyes widen. “Okay. Wow. We’re going to talk more about that later, but back to my point. What time did your date end?”

“I was at the apartment by eight.”

“Whose apartment?”

“You’re a pain in my ass.”

She grins. “Whose apartment?”

“Aiden’s,” I say, pressing my lips together. “But I was out of ice cream, and he had a whole carton of my favorite flavor.”

“Good man.”
