I smirk, straightening. “He’s full of shit.”

Luke grins. “Oh, 100%.”

Vince lets out a frustrated sigh. “I’m not into her.”

Will leans against the railing. “Does she know that?”

Vince glares. “Jesus, yes.”

Luke nudges my arm. “Watch. Give it a month. He’ll be in love.”

I shake my head, chuckling. “Yeah, I don’t see it. Vince doesn’t do well with women who can call him on his bullshit.”

Vince points at me. “Exactly. Which is why you’re all wrong.”

Luke takes another sip of beer. “We’ll see.”

Vince groans, reaching for his bottle and muttering something under his breath about dumbass friends and stupid conversations.

Luke ignores him, shifting gears. “Speaking of Callie... her friend Brooke…”

I nod, already seeing where this is going. “What about her?”

Luke smirks. “She’s hot.”

I sigh. “Luke.”

“What? She is.”

Vince raises an eyebrow. “You say that about every woman.”

Luke points at him. “That is not true. I have standards.”

Will snorts. “That’s debatable.”

Luke ignores him. “Seriously, though. Brooke’s cute. She single?”

I hesitate. Technically, she is, but I’m pretty sure she’s got a thing for Vince—not that I’d ever say that out loud. Brooke would kill me. And Vince? Vince is still so hung up on not being interested in anyone that I doubt he’s even noticed.

“As far as I know,” I answer carefully.

Luke grins. “Interesting.”

I level him with a look. “Dude, don’t be a dumbass.”

Luke holds up his hands. “I won’t.”

Vince shakes his head. “You definitely will.”

Luke grins. “Probably.”

Will laughs. “He’s definitely going to be a dumbass about this.”

Luke winks. “Guess we’ll find out.”

I sigh, scrubbing a hand down my face. Brooke would eat him alive. She’s not the type to fall for Luke’s bullshit, and frankly, he’s not the type to handle someone like her. She’d have him questioning his entire existence before he even got past the flirting stage.

Shaking my head, I turn back to the porch, grabbing another board. “Alright, enough of this. Let’s get back to work before Callie decides to come supervise.”
