“Shit, man, stop talking or I’m gonna piss myself.”

Parker’s just cracking up over my dating stories. Hayden’s snuggled up to his side, trying hard not to laugh with him and failing miserably.

“Who was the pretty blonde with you at the funeral? She looked nice, and not with child,” she says, somehow with a straight face.

The diamond on her finger twinkles as she rubs her hand on Parker’s thigh, always touching him in some way. He’d done it—he asked her to marry him, move home with him, and she said yes. She’ll be finishing school online, helping him run the farm, and taking his name soon. I’d love to tell them again to slow down, that they’re too young, but what the hell do I know? I think my glowing track record speaks for itself—I know jack shit.

“That was Whitley. She’s a good friend, a sweet girl.”

“Well, she’s very pretty, and it was nice of her to come and support you.” Hayden smiles, her eyes mischievous.

“Yeah, she’s beautiful, and awesome, and…” I shut my mouth before I say too much, grabbing the remote to concentrate on the TV.

“Not Laney?” Parker asks.

“That’s not even it. Laney’s happy, and some days I don’t even think about it. Can you believe that?” I ask him, my eyes big with my own shock. It’s true. I never thought I’d see the day, but some days I don’t think about Laney.

“Evan, you’re so handsome. Sorry, honey,” she kisses Parker’s cheek and gives him a sheepish smile, “but you are. And kind. I don’t understand the problem.”

“Evan’s a romantic,” Parker jokes, “always has been. No hit it and quit it for that one.” He tilts his bottle towards me. “He’s a big softie. He wants to hear music and see stars when she walks in a room. Don’t ya, Ev?”

“You mean like what happens to you when I walk in a room?” Hayden glares at him teasingly, her lips pursed, just daring him to deny it.

“Exactly like that,” he growls, diving into her lips.

“Fuck off,” I mumble, knowing he’s right…and no longer paying attention to me.

Hayden wrestles him off her, catching her breath to turn to me. “Well, what do you hear when Whitley walks in a room?”

I laugh to myself just thinking about it. “Actually, I usually do hear music, because she’s usually humming or singing to herself.”

“Ahhh.” Hayden’s clearly a romantic as well.

As fun as this is, I’m no fool, I know how to get out of the hot seat and give Parker the proverbial finger. “So, Hayden, tell me about your wedding.”

How ya like them apples, Park? I can just sit and nod, but Parker will have to interact while his starry-eyed girl rambles on and on.

Evan wins!!!

Finally.
