No way. Snatching up her phone, she went to type something else, but in buzzed:

Aiden

Blake will be pleased.

She wound her neck in. Okaaaay, notquitethe response she was expecting…

Astrid

Why? Is he cooking?

Aiden

Haha! No chance! See you Tuesday if not before!

Astrid

Great

And itwasgreat. The twins were doing as they’d promised, welcoming her into their life, facilitating the story she needed to write and unwittingly giving her the opportunity to dig deeper with Aiden. Great. Great. Great.

Buoying herself up, she opened the Just Desserts WhatsApp group and the message from Sissi that she had left hanging late last night because she hadn’t known what to say…

Just Desserts WhatsApp Group. 22.03 EST.

Sissi

What’s next in Operation Heartbreak?

Astrid

I’ve been invited into the lion’s den… Aiden’s cooking dinner!

Paige

Sissi

Be careful, Aiden can be pretty charming when he wants to be.

No shit, Sherlock.

Astrid

Well, technically he’s cooking for Blake and me, but it beats a meet up at the rink.

Paige

Blake is going to be there?!

Hmm, yup. How to manage that one? As far as the girls knew, it was karma-as-usual. As for herself, she’d need to make doubly sure she kept Blake at arm’s length. There could be no getting carried away on hormones, pheromones, whatevermones…

Astrid

I’m sure there will be opportunities to get up close and personal with the right twin…

Paige

So long as you remember which one that is!
