“I did not!” Steph protests. “I had friends to meet.”
Will laughs, “Oh yeah. Coincidence that, seeing you at Billy’s for breakfast.”
“You dirty minx,” Victoria laughs. “You didn’t come home the night before.”

Victoria is genuinely shocked.
“Steph, you didn’t!
“She did,” Will replies for her. “It didn’t put me off though. Since I knew where to find her, I might have nipped over once I dropped my brother home.”
“Nice to know you didn’t waste any time,” I tell him.
“I’m so glad he didn’t,” Steph replies while combing her fingers through his hair.
