I chuckled again, his answer taking me by surprise. I’d been so fortunate to meet him and Fletcher. They really were better brothers than mine had ever been.

Dax

Aw, did you hear that, fam? Reed thinks I’m pretty.

Punchy

Pretty annoying.

Daddy Fletch

Nope. You definitely said his head. Maybe Hen needs to get you two to kiss instead.

Dax

Nope. No offense. But the only lips I want touching mine are Henley’s.

Punchy

You have no clue what you’re missing out on, Bro.

Petal

I’m all here for this plan. Yes, please. Sign me up.

Dax

Dammit. Now you got her hopes up, Daddy Fletch, and she’ll be all sad when we don’t follow through with it.

Punchy

Pucker up, Blondie.

Dax

Not on your life, Punchy. Sorry, Petal.

Petal

Le sigh. I’ll have to read some boy-love comics, then.

Punchy

Did you finish that Webtoon I sent you?

Petal

Yes! I loved it.

Dax

I want in on this. It will give me something to do and make me feel like I’m reading.

Punchy

Fine. I’ll send you the link. But don’t steal my thing. I only share so much.

Dax
