While Teo warmed up the lasagna, Boomer put out plates and Dylan handed out beer. “Women are crazy. You guys know that, right?”

“Yep,” Teo and David said in unison.

Dylan pulled up short and shot Boomer a pained look. “Sorry, man.”

“No apology necessary. I'm well verse in the theatrics that is womankind.” Vanessa had given the world’s best drama queens a run for their money on occasion.

“Then why can't we live without 'em?” Dylan mused as he turned a chair around and straddled it. Popping the top off his beer he drained half the bottle.

“Boobs,” Boomer declared.

“Pussy,” Teo said with a sigh.

“Ass,” Dylan added.

“So, what'd my sister do this time?”

“Wedding shit's gonna kill me. Fuck, I'd rather plan an extraction outta the hot zone at this point. Coral and gold or pearl and gold. Who cares? I just want to marry her. I couldn't care less what color the napkins are.”

“Have you told her that?” Boomer asked.

“Not in so many words.”

“Man-up already,” Teo said.

Dylan rolled his eyes. “You like making Jilly cry?” he asked. Teo shook his head. “I don't like to see Reya unhappy. She's having fun with all this stuff and I want her to be happy. But at the end of the day, it's all just details.”

“Devil's in the details, man. You know that,” Boomer said. “Remember what Warner drilled into our heads in BUD/S?”

“Details make or break a mission, I know. But this isn't a mission. It's a marriage.”

“Isn't it both?” Teo asked.

Dylan finished his beer and plopped the empty on the old table. “Probably.”

“So, what's really eatin' you?” Teo asked, snagging a piece of garlic bread.

Dylan glanced out the window and was quiet for so long, Boomer didn't think the other man was going to answer. He didn't blame him. There was way too much touchy-feely talk going on in the kitchen.

And all the talk of marriage and settling down was like wet sand rubbing raw skin. A constant, uncomfortable reminder of everything he'd lost. Not that he'd ever begrudge either man the love of a good woman.

Teo plopped an enormous slice of lasagna on each of the three plates. Boomer was happily working on his third piece of garlicy goodness and nodded his thanks.

“I don't want her to change her mind,” Dylan admitted at last. He looked pained to say the words and unsure of himself. Almost as if he expected them to laugh at him.

Teo paused with his fork halfway to his mouth. “You think Reya's gonna change her mind? No way, bro.”

Dylan shrugged and glanced out the window, his gaze far off.

Teo let the fork drop. “You guys are made for each other. That's why I got you two together. She's not going anywhere. And a marriage license isn't gonna change that.”

Dylan's chest rose, stretching his t-shirt and then the corners of his lips turned up. “You're right.”

“Damn straight I am.”

Boomer laughed. “Spoken like a man who has everything figured out.”

“Nah man. I just know love when I see it.”

“Speaking of, whatever happened with that pretty little number you left the party with last week?” Dylan asked.
