Shay Kelly: He said yes *smile emoji* *engagement ring emoji*

Me: That’s awesome! Told you there was nothing to worry about!

Me: It was the glitter that sealed the deal wasn’t it?

Shay Kelly: Yup. Definitely the winning touch. Expertly scattered, so well done.

Shay was the one who’d had the idea of putting the glitter all over the floor, but I was the one who ended up actually doing it last night when I was helping him and Finn set everything up. You’d think scattering a whole heap of glitter and foil confetti over a carpeted floor would be pretty simple, wouldn’t you? Nope. It was a nightmare trying to get it just right so that the floor was evenly coated and there weren’t big clumps in certain spots and bare patches in others. Making matters worse was Shay’s insistence that I wasn’t allowed to step in it once it was finally done. Considering the living room is right between my bedroom and the front door, that was a bit of a challenge this morning…

Shay Kelly: I’m not sure I’d recommend having sex in glitter though. I still have it stuck places you really wouldn’t want glitter to be stuck

I groan, letting my head fall back against the headrest. It’s not like I didn’t assume they’d end up having sex in all that glitter, but assuming is different than knowing for sure. Now I’m going to have the image of it whenever I set foot in the living room. Not to mention that I so don’t need to know about where Shay might currently have glitter stuck.

Me: TMI man…just way too TMI!

Shay Kelly: “just way too too much information”? Jake you know how much I hate redundant wording! We have this discussion every time you say the phrase “PIN number”

Me: *eye roll emoji*

Me: I have to get out of the car now or Mom will think I’m avoiding going inside

Shay Kelly: You ARE avoiding going inside

Me: Yeah but I don’t want it to be a whole thing

Shay Kelly: Good luck buddy

Me: Thanks. Congratulations

I let out a steadying breath and finally push open the driver door, stepping out and shoving my phone and keys into my jacket pocket before slamming the door closed and trudging up the driveway toward my mom’s house.

“Took you long enough to get out of the car,” my step-dad grumbles upon opening the front door.

I let out a heavy sigh before stepping over the threshold. “Hey, Trevor.”

“What the hell were you doing out there?” Trevor demands, eyes narrowed.

Jesus, was he watching me through the blinds or something? Probably. I’m surprised he didn’t come out and rap on my car window.

“I was texting with Shay. He got engaged this morning so I was congratulating him.”

That prompts Trevor to let out a derisive snort as he turns and walks back through the house. “Engaged. Men like that can’t get married. Not properly.”

“Actually they can,” I say simply. I should really be saying ‘we,’ not ‘they,’ but I don’t have the energy to deal with that particular can of worms today.
