Raina started to laugh and Chloe joined them at the table. “What’s so funny?” Chloe asked.
“Megan called my brother a meathead.”
“I’ve seen him,” Megan said. “He looks like one, but we know Megan wouldn’t be able to be around anyone that couldn’t understand her jokes.”
“That’s right,” she said. “Jonah is great.”
“You both suck,” Chloe said. “I didn’t mind being single when there were more of us, but the number is dwindling.”
“Ladies,” Garrett asked, coming over. “Did you all have a nice holiday?”
“We did,” Megan said. “I believe you heard.”
Garrett winked at her. “I have to ask now and again since I don’t get to see you two together. Need to make sure that bull is still being directed properly.”
“Shhh,” she said, grinning. “Don’t say that in front of Raina.”
Raina grinned. “My brother only goes where he wants to go. I know that more than anyone.”
“And how was your holiday, Chloe?” Garrett asked. “Spend it with anyone special?”
“The only people I seem to spend any time with are those with the same last name as me,” Chloe said. “Unless they are coworkers, and sadly, they are the same sex as me.”
“You might need to do something about that,” Garrett said.
“I’m good the way I am,” Chloe said.
Garrett moved off after that and started to talk to other employees. “Oh no. I think you’re next,” Megan said.
“No way,” Chloe said. “No reason for me to be. I’m just another employee to them. It’s not like they’ve got any family members left. Besides. I’m not sure I like the idea of it all. No offense.”
“None taken,” Raina said.
“Nope,” Megan said. “I’m not family either.”
“But Cody is family so that is where Raina came into play. Then Jonah to Raina. Still sort of family,” Chloe said.
“Jonah and I got here ourselves,” she said, lifting her chin.
“With advice from Garrett and Grant,” Raina said. “Don’t kid yourself.”
“You asked for their advice?” Chloe asked.
“Maybe,” she said slyly.
“Good for you,” Chloe said. “Didn’t think anyone had the balls to do that other than family.”
“If my brother-in-law is to be believed, I’m going to grow some soon with all the muscles I’ve built and look like a man.”
“Megan!” Raina said, laughing.
“Sorry. I couldn’t resist.”
“Do I even want to know?” Chloe asked. “I think you are far from being a man. Flex for me and I’ll let you know.”
She pulled her sleeve up and flexed because she knew it’d embarrass Raina that so many people were looking at them. “Not bad huh?”
“I’m getting slightly turned on,” Chloe said. “Maybe you are turning into a man.”
