“Soon,” Brock replied confidently. “Very soon.”

Lilly must’ve sensed they were talking about her because she lifted her head, waved to Brock, and blew him a kiss. “Does she know about you very soon plan?” Brady asked.

“Nope. I’m a very relaxed and easygoing boyfriend.”

“Doubt it,” Brady mumbled before grabbing another slider and popping it into his mouth.

“Wait until you’re in my shoes. You’re not going to be that much different. I hear you have a certain woman in your sights and I bet once you have her you’ll be ten times worse than me.”

Scoffing, Brady leaned back and shook his head. “I’m the most relaxed out of the Landry brothers. Anyone would agree with me.”

“Yeah, right.”

Brady looked over at his brother and decided not to take up a ten-year-old argument. Truth was, they were all wound a little tight. He’d always attributed it to losing their mama when they did. They had all discovered far too early in life that bad things could happen to good people, and it had made all three of them a tad on the controlling side. Which, if kept in check, could be a good thing.

And therein lay the rub…keeping it in check. Watching his brother, he figured that it was pretty much a daily struggle. Wouldn’t be that way for him when and if he found someone of his own. No way.
