Chapter Twenty-Six

Nate

“Visa-free entry? Ah hahahaha.” Court actually slaps his thigh. “Did you also tell her you’d pay for a reentry permit?”

“You’re such a dick. A loud but limp dick.” He’s being overly boisterous, which is drawing attention. Ugh. Bastard. I must’ve been nuts to ask him to lunch at Virgo, a bistro near my office, on Wednesday. And to bring Yuna, because she’s in town, and she’s usually cool. I was hoping to introduce Evie to them, but she turned down my invitation. Again. Apparently my being her husband hasn’t changed her “no lunch with the boss” rule.

“You mean a hilarious dick.”

Yuna kicks him under the table, making him wince and hiss. “You’re being unsupportive.”

“Thank you,” I say. “The position of ‘Nate’s best friend’ is going to become vacant anytime now. You interested?”

“We can do better than that. I’ll be your soul sister.” She grins, then giggles.

I laugh. She has a magical ability to make me laugh, and not with annoyance, unlike Court. She just flew in from Korea, but apparently isn’t at all affected by jet lag. Her eyes are bright and clear, and she’s listening with the attentiveness of a cat. She flips her auburn hair over one slim shoulder.

“I’ve missed you,” I say.

“Missed you too. And the wedding! I wish I’d been here. I’ve never been to a Vegas wedding. Yours would’ve been perfect. It’s awkward to crash some strangers’ wedding, you know?”

“It wasn’t that special,” I say. She knows the truth about the wedding already. I trust her, and I wanted her as an ally, both for me and for Evie. I know Evie has friends of her own—like Kim—but I want her to have more. Some people from my circle, so she knows we aren’t all ogres.

“You can have one yourself,” Court says to her.

She ponders. “You think?”

“Most definitely not.” I give Court a dirty look. “Unless you don’t plan to involve your mom in the ceremony.”

“That’d get me disowned.” She leans closer. “Look, if your wife is being difficult, seduce her. Just show her your assets. No hiding.”

“That means drop the towel,” Court adds helpfully.

“Do you honestly think I’ve never thought of that?” I say. “But it’s too clichéd.”

“It’s a cliché because it works,” he says.

Yuna shakes her head. “Too obvious. Towels don’t just drop to the floor on their own.”

“Yeah, but subtle is too complicated.” Court sips his drink. “Just pull a Hitler. Invade.”

I choke on my soda. “I’m not going Nazi on her.”

“Exactly,” Yuna agrees. “Pulling an Attila is far superior.”

I raise my eyes to heavenward and sigh. “I’m not pulling a barbarian horde on her, either.”

“Look, bro, I hate to state the obvious, but…it could be she’s just not that into you,” Court says.

Yuna comes to my rescue. “Is she a lesbian? Because you’re totally hot.” Then she ruins it by adding, “If you were my type, I’d do you.”

“Thanks, ex-friends,” I say dryly.

“Look, she put up this Great Wall. What does that tell you?” Yuna asks.

Court squints like he’s trying to multiply five-digit numbers in his head.
