Colton flipped his legs over the side of the bed and grabbed his shorts, putting them on in a hurry. “Bro... I can explain.”

Dominic shook his head and put his hand up to stop him. “I just can’t even deal with this right now.” He turned and stalked out the door, slamming it on his way out and causing everyone to flinch.

The forced smile on Kerrigan’s face was half apologetic, half understanding. “I’ll go talk to him.” She backed up toward the same door Dominic had just slammed.

Colton stopped her. “No. He’s my brother, and this discussion has been a long time coming. I’ll do it. Will you please stay here with Gabe?”

“I think I should come with you.” Gabe had never looked so guilty and ashamed. Until then, Kerrigan was convinced the two emotions didn’t even exist inside of him.

Colton cupped Gabe’s cheek. A blind man would be able to feel the adoration he held for her best friend.

“You’re sitting this one out, Princess. Because if he even so much as gives you a dirty look...” Colton’s shoulders heaved with a sigh. “It’s just been me and my brother for as long as I can remember, and I don’t want to lose him. Let me handle this. Okay?”

Gabe nodded and accepted the quick kiss Colton offered before he turned and walked out of the room. No sooner had he shut the door than Kerrigan turned on her best friend. Even though there were obvious ripples in the water, she couldn’t keep her excitement contained.

“I knew it!” She ran over to her very happy friend, taking his hand in hers before they jumped up and down like a couple of dorm roommates who had just been asked out by the most popular guys on campus.

Gabe stopped abruptly and put his hand to his chest, looking at the door. “Dom’s going to kill him, isn’t he? Oh, Kerr Bear... we’ve got to do something. I just got him. I can’t lose him. We’d better get down there.”

“Stop, sweetie.” Kerrigan grabbed his shoulders and forced him to focus on her. “Everything is going to be okay. We’ve just got to let them work this out. Colton is far too important to Dominic to inflict bodily harm on him, let alone kill him. Now, you, on the other hand...”

“Me, what?”

“You should be worried about what I’m going to do to you. You lied to me!” She smacked him on the arm.

Gabe gave her a sheepish grin.

“When did this happen?”

He sat on the bed and hugged Colton’s pillow to his chest. With a dignified look, he simply replied, “What happens at Panama Hattie’s stays at Panama Hattie’s.”

“Oh... you!” She snatched the pillow away and hit him with it, then sat on the bed facing him with her legs crossed. “He called you Princess! Tell me everything!”
