Except for that one cousin…but I’d handled him fairly well.
Polite. Weird. Rich.
Yeah, they probably did have royalty back in the family tree somewhere.
Somewhere unexpected and stupid.
“You can tell Victor I’m not worried about that, though.” I laughed when Dally looked confused. “You already told him that, huh?”
“Of course.” Perking up, Dally grinned. “But now I get to tell him again since you said it this time.”
They had the weirdest friendship…and Dally proved it when I went to the bathroom because he was grinning ear to ear when I came back to the table. “What did you do?”
He didn’t bother hiding it. “I got Victor again. For some reason he thought I wouldn’t ask you about the money thing.”
Dally asked everything. Victor should’ve known that already.
“You’re just going to—” I was cut off by Dally’s phone going nuts and singing “Another One Bites the Dust.”
Victor?
“Oh, he’s sending laughing emojis.” Dally thought that was cute but I knew better.
Daddy.
My phone started vibrating as a text came in and just looking at it made me sigh. “Did you tell Victor I had pancakes for dinner? Daddy just asked if I had a vegetable.”
“Oops.” Dally finally realized what he’d done. “It was good gossip too.”
Lord.
“Now he wants to know when I’m planning on going to bed.” It wasn’t that late but it would be by the time I got home.
“Tell him the truth. Late.” Dally giggled when I looked up from the phone, confused. “Then he’ll come and get you.”
“Really? You think?” Would he? “I…I was over there last night.”
Dally snorted. “That was his idea, so you don’t have to feel like you’re being annoying. If anyone is a level-five clinger, it’s your Daddy.”
Since I couldn’t argue with that, I tested Dally’s theory. “Alright, let’s see what happens.”
When Dally giggled, I shot him a glare. “But if I end up grounded or something because he doesn’t like that answer, you and me are going to have a conversation about what you get to share.”
The threat of having his favorite game removed from his life had Dally sucking in a breath. “I can’t be punished for you doing something naughty.”
“Wanna bet?”
Shoot.
The phone vibrated.
“Did you tell Victor where we were? He’s coming to get me.” He was not happy about my answer but he also hadn’t been surprised. “Damn it, Dally. You told him I got the dessert ones too.”
Tattletale.
He was throwing me under the bus for good gossip.
I was going to have to start leaving clothes at his house. “Thank you for coming to take care of me, Daddy.”
