"But—"
"Chase hates me. For some shit I did. He… I betrayed him."
"How?"
"Broke a promise."
She studies me carefully. "You do realize you're being incredibly vague."
I chuckle. "Yeah."
She fills the kettle, sets it on the stove, turns the burner on. "Unlike you. I'm not going to try to manipulate you into sharing by offering some quid pro quo bullshit. But, well, trading gossip during the Disney movies is an important part of the party. If you want to join."
"I'm invited?"
"Yeah. You're an integral part."
I arch a brow.
She motions to the carafe. "We need coffee."
"Damn, Em. You know how to bruise a guy's ego."
"Your company isn't too bad either."
"Shit, don't sweet talk me now."
Her smile spreads over her cheeks. "The gossip is normally about the shop. Or school. Or boys. Mostly boys. But I can make an exception for you."
"My brother is a guy."
She laughs. "Yeah, but guys as in guys we want to bang. Your brother—"
"You'd like him."
"Would I?"
I nod. "He's a little taller than me. Darker hair. Darker eyes."
"Brown?"
"Deep blue."
"He does sound hot."
I chuckle. "He is."
"It's good, you can admit that."
"Is it?"
"So many guys are uptight about that."
"I touch guys all day."
"And women."
"But mostly guys."
