Penny.
Killian
Wow, didn’t see that one coming. She’s way too good looking for him.
Everett
Agreed. Miles looks like ass most days.
Lachlan
He really does.
Killian
Do you think he’s purposely ignoring us?
Lachlan
Or he’s still sleeping . . .
I’m awake. I’m working. I know some of you aren’t familiar with that concept.
Lachlan
Yeah, being the fire chief is so fucking easy.
Everett
I own a very successful veterinary clinic as well as care for my mother,thank you very much.
Killian
I won’t dignify that with a response. I will, however, follow up to the first question that was asked. How did the date go?
It was great.
It was really fucking great.
Lachlan
I’m glad to hear it, man. I know you really like her.
Everett
Penny is a great girl. Don’t fuck it up or Hazel will kill you. She’s incredibly protective of her.
Lachlan
Which means she told you that she was off-limits.
Everett
Yup. After I screwed around with her cousin a few months ago, she’s unwilling to let me around anyone she likes.
Gee, I wonder why. And the last thing I want to do is fuck it up, thank you very much.
