“...who needs a $0.25 durex when you can spend ten million on a fake wife...”

In the back of a blacked-out SUV, Richard laughed to the point of a stomachache while Cousin Darcy glared, arms folded, and shoulder pressed hard against the passenger door like an angry little boy.

Eyeing Daisy (who sat between the two with her father's iPod in her hands, a bag full of macho tacos in her lap, and the Kids Bop version of ‘Fergalicious’ pouring into her ears) Fitzwilliam spoke out of the corner of his mouth, “Shut the hell up.”

Wiping tears away with one hand, Richard reached into the bag with the other pulling out a taco and carefully unwrapping it. Before taking a huge bite, he extended it in Fitzwilliam’s direction, receiving a revolted look in return.

“Too good for the Del?” he asked, mouth full and highly amused.

“Yes,” he said.

“You’re such a snob.” Richard snickered. “And such a dumbass.”

“I ruined a business lunch for this shit,” Fitzwilliam said mostly to himself, “for tubed beef smell in my backseat and judgment from a fathead.”

Richard quirked a brow and took another bite. “A phone call would've prevented it, but preventative measures just aren't your thing,” he said. “You're also buying four dolls today.”

“I told Daisy two.”

“And she'll get two, and so will her sister.” He smiled. “I like peace in my household.”

A silent anger spread itself over the backseat thinly undercut by the tinny, dull sounds coming from Daisy’s earbuds and Fitzwilliam’s driver pulled into the no parking zone across the street from Lizzie’s apartment.

“Don’t pout, it’s ugly on you,” Richard said.

Though she was granted ample time thanks to traffic and a backed-up drive-thru, Lizzie greeted them at the door, a frazzled mess. The glory days of her sweatpants were long gone, there was a fruit juice stain on her V-neck, and a hairbrush in her right hand.

Fitzwilliam struck momentarily at the sight of her (soft and harried and lovely) said to Lizzie once he'd recovered, “I literally told you we were on the way.”

“I'msosorry,” Lizzie huffed with embarrassment, “I shut my eyes for half a second and an hour went by.”

“Don't apologize.” Richard laughed and slapped a hand down on the back of Fitzwilliam's neck. “He’s familiar with blackouts. Hello, I'm Darcy's favorite cousin, Richard; I'm sure he's told you loads about me...”

“I haven't said one word about you.” Fitzwilliam snickered.

Richard grinned at Lizzie and shook Fitzwilliam by the neck “...So, Ryan Seacrest says you two are getting married. Is that true? Let's discuss it, I hope you like Del Taco.”
