Page 17 of When You Had Me Adapting

“What? You don’t think I’m capable of a job like that?” I laugh.

“No, that’s not what we’re saying. You’re the smartest guy we know and after the last year you’ve had they would be lucky to have you. Just want to make sure it’s what you truly want,” Donovan says.

“How’s the wedding planning coming?” I ask, suddenly tired of everyone’s attention being on me.

“It’s going to be magical.” Donovan grabs Enzo’s hand and looks lovingly at his fiancé.

“Who’s shooting it?”

“Forever Yours Photography. We had asked Logan and T about you doing it, but we were unsure when you’d be back.”

“You don’t want me shooting your wedding.” I take a swig of my beer. “I can photograph elusive wildlife all day, but people, y’all know that’s not my thing.”

“That’s what I said,” Tanner says, slapping me across the back.

“I’m happy to be a guest.”

“So, if you do apply for this job, does that mean you would be looking for a more permanent place than y’all’s bachelor pad?” Donovan asks.

“Always working aren’t you,” I laugh.

“Hey, I’m just saying if you take a job in Atlanta, you might want a house and if you do, I’m your guy,” Donovan chuckles.

“You will be the first realtor I call.” I take another bite of pizza. “Don’t hold your breath though. I said I was considering it. I haven’t applied for anything yet.”

CHAPTER 8: IS THIS HELL?

LACEY

The Tortured Therapists Department

Lacey: I was thinking we should start having dinner together once a month.

Wren: Isn’t that what we already do with the rest of the team?

Lacey: No, this would be different. Like just us five.

Chloe: Sounds like fun. When do y’all want to do it? I’ll have to see if someone can watch Ava.

Lacey: You could bring her.

Chloe: Thank you, but I could use a girls’ night. I’m sure my mom can help.

Poppy: Should we invite significant others too? I’d love for y’all to meet Logan.

Wren: I’m very single, but if Logan has any cute friends, I’m not opposed to them coming.

Gray: LOL! I think everyone is single, but you Poppy. But YESSSS to cute friends!

Poppy: Great, I’ll tell Logan. You good with that Lace?

Lacey: Sure.

Poppy: Awesome! Is this Sunday too soon?

Gray: I’m in! I work at the hospital until 3, but should be good to meet up with y’all after.

Poppy: Cool! Logan said he can host and Tanner can cook.
