I hesitate before typing out another message. Maybe it’s just the wine talking, but it’s the truth.

I miss you. All of you

The three dots appear that say he’s typing an answer, and my breath comes short. What if they’ve changed their mind about me already?

We’ve missed you, too. And I understand why you said what you said. I didn’t mean to come on so strong, but I can’t lie to you about what we want, either

My heart swells, and I type out the message so fast it has a few typos in it.

I thimk I want to try it. Being with you

The response comes as I reach my apartment building.

I would love that, and so would Jace and Quinn. You said you wanted to get to know us better, so what do you think of a date?

I quirk an eyebrow.

A date? With all 3 of you?

Yeah. We’ll take you somewhere fun!

Smiling to myself, I open my front door and stumble inside. I fall back against it as I hastily write my answer.

I’d love that

Getting Jace, Quinn, and Leon all to myself for a few hours? Sounds like a dream.

But I wonder what Eli would be doing while his brothers go out with me—and if it’s as awkward as I’m imagining it is. Do they usually do everything together? Does Eli have his own life, or his own girlfriend? I realize that I have no idea.

But I also loved hearing from him when I was uncertain. I loved that he was watching out for me, asking his brothers to give me room to breathe while I sorted out my feelings.

So I type out another message.

Would Eli like to come?

Maybe I’m overreaching, but the wine is working its magic on me, and I feel bolder than usual. I think about Eli’s kind text messages and find myself wanting to see the version of him that held my hand that day and talked me down from my anxiety attack.

There’s a long pause before Leon starts typing his answer.

He would love to

I grin and hug my phone to my chest as I stumble into bed, still wearing my makeup. I fall asleep wondering what I did to deserve them—and for once thinking that maybe I just do.

Mini-golf.

That’s the big “date” that the landscapers have planned for me. Mini-golf.

Jace is the one who started the group chat with all five of us.

It’s the perfect place. Big, long shafts and lots of balls

Quinn seems the most excited about it.

And all the cute little courses! I love the moving obstacles!

Besides, Tiff, then we all get to see you bend over

Leon, I’ve discovered, is the filthiest one. He has an endlessly dirty mind and isn’t afraid of making it known how hungry he is for me.
