I laugh. "Maybe."
"You might as well go now. We all know what you're doing."
"We're honeymooners."
"I'll give you some Joel-style advice." He chuckles. "Don't fuck it up."
I have to laugh. It is exactly what I would say.
"You really like her, huh?"
I nod.
"You love her?"
"I think I might."
His smile widens. "Shit, I'm out a hundred bucks."
"You bet against me?"
"With Piper."
"Hard to complain about Piper winning." I turn to Kit. "How did you deal with this?"
He raises a brow.
"I feel like I'm on a fucking roller coaster. When she smiles, I'm warm all over. When she's upset, it's like the sun is never going to come out again."
His smile widens.
"What?"
"You're in love with her."
"This isn't going away?"
He shakes his head. His eyes are lit up with enthusiasm. "Damn. Joel Young is in love. Never thought I'd see the day." He chuckles. "It looks good on you."
"It feels good." Exhausting, but good.
"Go make love to your wife," he teases.
"Please never say make love to me again."
He chuckles. "You gonna tell her?"
"Eventually."
"You're scared."
Maybe.
"Shit. Never thought I'd see that day." He nudges me towards the door.
The man is mocking me, but he has good advice.
I nod goodbye and slip out of the room. The bathroom is at the end of the hall. I knock once. "Hey."
