When the weekend rolled around again, Elliott didn’t have a reasonable excuse for not going out with his friends again. This was something they always did when he wasn’t in a relationship, and maybe if he just put in a little effort, he’d enjoy himself.

Or he could continue to think about Skylar and the look on her face when they talked on Monday.

Climbing into his car, he let his head fall back as he let out a huff of annoyance. This was what he said he wanted–his freedom, to be single and uninvolved. So why wasn’t he enjoying it? Sleeping with Skye was supposed to be safe. They were friends and that was it.

Friends who had amazing sex, but…still friends.

She wasn’t making any demands on his time and seemed perfectly fine with keeping things casual…

Then why did she look hurt when she thought he hooked up with someone last weekend?

“This is bullshit,” he murmured. All week long he had made himself crazy thinking about that look and he wasn’t going to be able to go out and do a damn thing until he got an answer. “Or I’m using it as an excuse so I don’t have to go to Flanagan’s again.”

Okay, there was that, but as he continued to sit in his driveway and think, he knew what the true motivation was.

“Hey, El!” his sister said when she answered. “What’s up?”

“Nothing much. I was wondering if you were free tonight to hang out?”

It was pretty much the last thing he wanted to do, but…it was the first scenario to come to mind.

“Ooh…what did you have in mind?” she asked excitedly, and Elliott wanted to kick himself.

“I was planning on going downtown to Flanagan’s with everyone,” he explained, and did his best not to oversell it. “You know, no big deal. It’s just going to be me, Ty, Alex, and Jared. No biggie. But since we haven’t hung out much and you know everyone…”

“You picked a great night, big brother! We don’t have any events until tomorrow night and it’s an engagement party, so it’s very low-key, so…yay! We get to hang out!”

Me and my big mouth…

“We don’t have to go to Flanagan’s, you know. We can go and grab some dinner or something if you’d prefer.”

“Why wouldn’t I want to go? Flanagan’s has the best selection of craft beers and some seriously addictive wings. Besides, I’ve been meaning to catch up with Ty for
