Can you make me a latte please? Somebody needs to stay up all night and teach you a lesson for being a bad boy.

I shove my phone away, yank the pantry open, and pull out all the fixings for a latte. Carter doesn’t have all the fancy syrup flavors like me, only vanilla, so we’ll have to make do.

“So Lennon’s really moving out, huh?” Garrett asks, brewing a tea beside me for Jennie. “Gotta say, given that it’s already been two months, I definitely thought you’d be past this we’re just fucking stage by now.”

Emmett snorts. “He needs more time than that.”

“Give him a minute to get there,” Adam says. “He’s new at this.”

“Huh?” I look between them. “What are you guys talking about?”

“Lennon,” Carter whispers. “’Cause you have a crush.”

“What? No, I—” I shake my head. “Back up. Moving out?”

Garrett lifts a brow, then tilts his head toward the living room, where the girls are snuggled up on the couch, Lennon in the middle, showing them something on her phone. “She’s going to see a couple apartments next week. She’s showing the girls now.”

“What?” Before I can stop myself, my feet are carrying me across the room. I lean over the back of the couch, sweeping Lennon’s curls over her shoulder so I can squeeze myself in. “What we lookin’ at?”

She turns to me, and I’m thrown by the closeness. I see her like this nearly every night, but there’s something about touching her in front of other people, being close enough to her mouth that I can nearly taste her on my tongue, letting everyone else see the way her eyes dance when she looks up at me, the same way mine do when I’m looking at her. There’s something about it that feels real and raw and vulnerable. Scary. I lick my lips, hands shaking as I try to quell the urge to lean in that last inch, steal a kiss I’ve been thinking about since I last tasted her this morning while she was pressed up against my living room window.

“Len’s showing us the apartments she’s going to see next week,” Jennie says.

“We’re gonna go with her,” Olivia adds, and Cara just smiles at me, cocking her head like she’s studying me.

“Yeah? Lemme see.”

Lennon sighs, showing me her screen, flipping quickly through a set of pictures.

“Hold up.” I bat her hand away, flipping back two, and tsk. “Ah. Just as I thought. Formica countertops. Next.”

She rolls her eyes but indulges me with prospect number two.

“Crack in the wall below the window.”

She purses her lips, moving on to number three.

“Pretty sure those floors used to be white.”

Number four, her favorite, apparently. And it’s . . . perfect for her. Bright and spacious, with a far-off view of the mountains. A small den, a little balcony, a new kitchen, and in a safe little pocket.

But what’s wrong with living with me?

“Len, are you kidding me? That’s practically in another city. And you know what?” I squint at the screen.
