He swore and turned the stick over to Jason.
“And?” he said to Evan. “What of it?”
Evan shrugged. “Was like kissing a sister. We swore to never speak of or do it again.”
Tyler nodded in relief. “It didn’t affect your friendship?”
“Nah. We joked about it for a while, but it’s in the past,” Evan said. “Besides, she’s into you, man.”
Tyler considered before shaking his head. “She’s been staying at the house. I would know.”
“It’s true, bro,” Jason added. “I’ve seen her watch you when you’re not looking.”
“Emma would kill me. She’s her best friend.”
Connor noticed Tyler hadn’t denied having any interest.
“She wouldn’t. Trust me,” Jason said.
The loud rise of laughter came from the front near the bar as a group of girls came in, including Emma, Maddy, Jenna, Natalie, and Abby. The five of them took a large, round table and spread papers across it.
Connor noticed Ty’s expression of yearning when he caught sight of Maddy. Yeah, there was definitely interest on his side, too.
“You should go for it,” Connor added. “At least test the waters.”
Tyler grabbed the empty bottles off the ledge. “I’ll get this round,” he said, and headed to the bar.
“A soda for me,” Connor called after him. “That’s an interesting group.” He nodded at the table with the ladies.
“Emma said something about her and Maddy brainstorming ideas with Abby and Natalie for their business,” Jason said.
“And you didn’t stop them?” Connor said.
Jason snorted. “I just started getting some after my own dry spell. I’m no fool.”
Poor Abby was going to be overwhelmed by Emma, who was known for her detailed planning and lists. During the renovation of Erickson Pier, she’d driven them all crazy with her lists, texting, and checking in with Jason and Connor two or three times a day.
“Hell, Emma took a laptop out of her bag,” Connor said.
“Let’s give them thirty minutes,” Evan said with a smirk.
Connor had once prided himself on being the king of fun, but ever since getting unknowingly filmed while having sex with a former assistant on Beach House Flippers, he’d been walking the straight and narrow.
Maybe it was time for some fun.
“What do you have in mind?” he asked.
“We send them a round of shots,” Evan said.
“That’s all you’ve got?” Connor said. “No wonder you don’t have a lady.”
“You’re one to talk.” Evan gave him a light shove. “Sexily named shots we hand-deliver, and we pick the recipient.”
Jason raised an eyebrow. “What, are you still in college?”
“Oh, come on. It will be fun,” Evan returned.
Connor shrugged. “Go for it, man.”
