Chapter 9

"No. Sorry. I was distracted.” Evelyn walked to the kitchen. Ethan and Grace settled on the couch and turned on the television.

"With Ethan?” Joshua's face went flat. His voice was quiet. She had called Ethan hot before, seemed to avoid him, and those were signs of a crush.

"No, with Gray. That playpen makes me nervous.” Evelyn smiled up at him, noticed the look on his face, and frowned. “You thought?"

"You said he was hot,” Joshua whispered as he shrugged and turned to mix the ingredients.

"You look at me, Joshua Young.” Evelyn grabbed his face and pulled him close to hers, so she could see him eye to eye. She wasn't as quiet. “He has nothing on you, nothing."

Ethan's voice interrupted from the living room. “I have an inch on him, thank you very much."

"In height, but that's the only place. You forget I've seen the video.” Evelyn didn't take her eyes off Joshua. His face blushed and his smile widened.

"Grace?” Ethan feigned offense. “Say something."

"I lived the video, baby. She's right.” Grace squealed as Ethan launched a tickle attack on her. “Megan told me! Megan told me!"

Evelyn looked at Joshua confused. He licked his lips. “You're right about that, babe."

"About what?” she whispered. In the background Grace threatened to pee her pants if Ethan didn't let her go. He did and then acted like his feelings were hurt. Grace playfully soothed his ego. Evelyn had inadvertently stepped into a long standing family joke.

"I told you, we were like a pack of wild dogs.” Joshua didn't whisper.

"You told her, Joshua!” Ethan shouted playfully, and Gray started to wake up. “Damn it, now look.” He stopped playing and went to pat Gray on the back to help him back to sleep. “I can't believe Chase told Megan. He's due for an ass kickin’”

"No, I didn't tell her, but I will now.” Joshua shrugged. “We were measured. Chase turned twenty-one that year, and we celebrated. The three big dogs. We were walking to the next bar, and a lady of the night overheard us talking about who the lead dog was. Ethan's the oldest, so he thought it should be him.” Joshua mixed all the ingredients while Evelyn stared at him with her arms crossed. “She called out to us and said for twenty bucks she'd tell us who the lead dog was."

"You had sex with a hooker?” Evelyn's face twisted, and her hands went to her hips.

"Hell no,” both Ethan and Joshua replied the same. Grace began to laugh.

"We let her measure us. Right there on the street. In front of everyone who walked by. It was humiliating the next day, but it seemed like a fine thing to do at the time.” Joshua bowed. “I'm the Great Dane, Ethan's a Doberman, and Chase is a big Poodle."

"That is about the most absurd thing I have ever heard.” Evelyn shook her head.

"I was twenty-three, drunk off my ass. I can't lie about it. It wasn't my finest hour, but we've laughed ever since.
