“Kissed you?” Reagan leaned across the table, her eyebrows shooting up.

“Kissed you?” Halley echoed, doing the same. “What? Why? How?”

“All excellent questions.” I fiddled with the rim of my wine glass. I wasn’t in the habit of drinking before work, but I was hungry and I was stressed, and I needed something to take the edge off my constant thinking.

“What happened?” Reagan asked, looking a little too much like the old ladies at the church who thrived on gossip.

I ran through the whole story, starting with the remote thing last night. It was the only way to get the full context, but even I knew the answer as to why he’d kissed me before I’d finished telling the story.

“It was the boob-grab,” Halley said immediately.

Reagan nodded. “You brought this on yourself.”

Groaning, I dropped my forehead to the table. “I can’t do this, guys. I can’t. It’s too much. This is a disaster.”

“Yep,” she said brightly. “A complete and utter shitshow, and it’s all your fault.”

I fake-sobbed into my arms.

Halley snorted. “It’s simple. Just end the roomie war and be done with it. You’re only interacting the way you are because you’re actively trying to piss the other person off.”

“And let him win?” I sat up so fast that my head spun. “No way! He’s not winning!”

“He’s not,” Reagan said, smirking. “I mean, the fact he had to pamper himself in the shower after tells you all you need to know.”

Pampered himself. That was an interesting way to put it. I’d never heard a guy jerking himself off be referred to like that before.

“Look, I don’t even know if that was definitely what he was doing. It’s not like I could see through the door, is it?” I pushed my hair behind my ear. “I just assumed because, well, it was the obvious thing to do.”

Halley propped her chin up on her hand. “It fits. What are you going to do now?”

“What did you do after Preston kissed you?”

“I’m pretty sure I ran away, actually.”

Reagan smirked. “Ethan already did that.”

I sighed. This was going nowhere fast. “We have to talk about it. We live together. He’s my brother’s best friend. We have to set boundaries and stuff like that.”

“You know what’s a good boundary? A bra.”

“Shut up.”

“Ladies.” Halley held up her hands and turned to me. “You have to talk. You’re right. But I also think you owe it to yourself to not brush it under the carpet like it never happened. Clearly, he feels something for you, even if it’s just attraction.”

“She’s right.” Reagan grimaced. “I hate it when she’s right.”

I did, too.

“You both need to get to the bottom of your actual feelings about one another. You clearly don’t hate each other, at least not the way you claim to, so deal with it.”

“God, when you make sense, I know the apocalypse is coming,” I muttered to Reagan. “All right. Fine. Even if nothing happens, at least we can draw a line under it and move on.”

I slid my phone over in front of me and picked it up, ready to text Ethan.
