Come on. Tell me your secret.

Maddie

I liked waking up with you today.

Hudson

You’re going to like going to bed with me tomorrow even more.

Maddie

Should I leave the door unlocked tonight?

Hudson

What time are you done working tonight?

Maddie

My last meeting should be over by six.

Hudson

How about I bring dinner to you?

Maddie

You sure? I can come to your house.

Hudson

Nah. Let me come there. And text me what Dixon wants to eat.

Maddie

He and I aren’t really talking.

Hudson

Cut him a break, Mads. We’re guys. We don’t know how to express ourselves when we’re trying to protect our sisters. I fucked up with Scarlet and Cade a few years ago.

Maddie

Why’d she forgive you?

Hudson

I groveled.

Maddie

He hasn’t groveled.

Hudson

I talked to him last night. He feels like shit.

Maddie
