“Fair.” Remi nods in agreement.
“Okay. First, you should know that we will do anything for Lexie. She is our soul sister. So, when I say anything, I mean anything. I’m an ex-criminal defense attorney and she sleeps with a cop—”
“Detective,” Remi says.
“What?” Kat turns to face Remi.
“You know he hates it when you say cop and not detective,” Remi says.
“God, he’s such a baby,” Kat huffs.
“Oh, don’t even get me started,” Remi confirms.
“Anyway,” Kat turns back to face me. “I’m an ex-criminal defense attorney and she sleeps with adetectiveso between the two of us, we know where to hide a body. You get me?”
I nod silently. I’m partly amused and partly frightened by these two.
“Good,” Kat says.
“May I be so bold as to ask why you are telling me this?” I ask.
Remi and Kat look at one another, and then back at me. Remi speaks first. “If your plan is to pursue Lexie, then proceed with caution. And you better make damn fucking sure that it’s because you want to and not because Babs wants you to.”
“Noted,” I say. “May I ask another question?”
“Of course,” Kat replies.
“Why did you call me the mostshtupableman in the world?”
Both girls laugh, and Kat says, “That is a conversation for another time, my new cowboy friend. Now, if you would be so kind as to escort us in, we’ve got some wine to drink and a bestie to see.”
