Page 4 of Love ’em or Liam

BEAU: Flynn is here with me now. He’s the big spoon to my little spoon.

FLYNN: For fuck’s sake.

These guys are fucking nuts. But I love them. I am glad to know that Flynn didn’t kill Beau for hooking up with Flynn’s younger sister.

Beau’s always been the wildest one in our group. He was the grenadier though, and that’s kind of what you need to have someone go into unknown situations and blow shit up. But seeing him with Daisy, watching him fall in love with a woman pregnant with another man’s baby, has been pretty fucking cool.

FLYNN: For the record, I am spooning my wife.

EVAN: So there was no ass kicking?

EVAN: Y’all suck.

ROMEO: I’ll kick your ass, Evan, if you really need me to.

ME: Now, that I would watch.

JACK: Why must we have these group chats at all hours of the day?

DANE: Because they don’t have warm, willing women to spend their time with.

FLYNN: Some of us do.

I suppose I should tell them about what I’m about to do. Especially since I’ll be away from work for a few days. Right now we all have unofficial jobs at the sanctuary. Mine is coordinating with shelters and other non-profits to bring in new dogs that are in danger of being euthanized. Or dogs that have been in abusive and neglectful situations. But I can do most of that from anywhere.

I’ll just make sure that Dane is looped into any of my communication so he can manage things on-site.

ME: While we’re all here, I’m leaving town for a few days.

ROMEO: Everything okay?

ME: I’m getting married.

EVAN: Say what, now?

BEAU: Have you been secretly dating someone?

FLYNN: Not everyone dates in secret.

BEAU: For the record, we haven’t even been on an official date. We were just cohabitating.

FLYNN: That does not make me feel better.

BEAU: I plan to remedy that very soon.

EVAN: There could still be a fight.

ROMEO: Kids! Be quiet and let the adults talk. Liam, details.

ME: An old friend. Widow of an even older friend.

ME: Custody issue.

ME: We’re meeting in Vegas.

ME: I’ll have more details when we get back.

ROMEO: Is this a good thing?
