Arriving home, I walk in through the garage to see Matt barbecuing dinner on the grill. It smells delicious, and I see he’s made enough for me which is great seeing as I’m starving.

“Where the hell have you been all day?” he asks.

I figure lying is probably not such a good idea. Plus, Matt can always tell when I’m bullshitting, so I tell him the truth. “I spent the day at Zaria’s mansion.”

Matt gawks and then laughs loudly like he thinks I’m joking.

“Is it so hard to believe?”

Matt stops laughing and squishes his eyebrows together like he can’t quite grasp what I’ve just told him. “Um… no. Just surprising… I guess. So, what’s her place like?”

“Well, I’d say simply amazing. We had lunch and went swimming, then watched Nemo—”

“You made an Oscar-winner watch a kid’s movie?”

I laugh and nod. “She loved it!”

Suddenly, my cell beeps with a text message. I wince and pull it out, never knowing if I’m going to be able to read it or not. I usually have to get Matt to read my text messages to me.

The text is from Ria but it doesn’t say anything. It’s just a symbol of a clown fish. I smile wide and send back a picture of a dove.

Matt shakes his head. “Weird,” is all he says as he continues cooking on the grill.

“So what happened at the office today?” I ask.

Matt shrugs. “Not a lot. Danger and Lunar were talking about their wedding plans… a lot.”

Tensing slightly at the thought of Lunar marrying Danger, Matt looks at me and sighs. “Nate, you gotta let that shit go.”

Sighing, I slump my body. “I know, I just don’t want Danger to hurt her.”

“He loves her too much, dude. She’s not like the others, he’ll never hurt her.”

Groaning, I run my hand through my hair. “He thought he really loved Ella, too. But he still cheated on her when they did the whole long distance thing. He’s scum when it comes to women, you know that.”

“Nate, let it fucking go. Danger’s happy. Let Lunar go… go after Zaria even though she’s way out of your league.”

Tensing up, I huff. “Why do you have to do that?”

“What?” he asks.

“Always put me down? Fuck! It’s no wonder I’m always such a snickety dick.”

Matt pulls his head back in shock. “Dude, I’m sorry. You know I love you, bro!”

“I hate that I’m this way!”

He furrows his brows. “What way?”

“Stupid!”

“What? You’re not stupid—”

“I can’t read, Matt. What other twenty-two-year-old do you know that can’t fucking read?”

Matt reaches out wrapping his arm around my shoulders strongly in a man embrace. “Hey, I know you struggle with this, and if you want I can hire a tutor again to help?”

Shaking my head, I pull back and sigh. “Nah, I’m good. Just had a moment… sorry.”

Matt gnaws on his bottom lip while looking me in the eyes. “Maybe you should see a counselor?”

“Fuck off, I’m fine!” I grab the food from the grill and take it inside. I want
