My elevator dings and I frown.
No one else has...
Oh, wait.
Harlow.
I meet Knox’s eyes, and he lifts his brows.
“Five hundy says that’s Harlow, not Dad.” Levi says, stealing a baby tomato out of the salad bowl.
“Oi.” I slap his hand and walk out of the kitchen.
“Hey,” Harlow says, dropping a kiss on my lips.
Goddamn her.
She hasn’t accepted that we are breaking up. Well she has...but her actions don’t match her words.
“Hey.” I shake my head behind her back. “What are you doing here?”
“I’m missing a pair of shoes. Thought they might be here,” she says, but as she hugs Knox and Levi, we all know that’s a lie.
“Looking good.” Levi gives her athletic frame an appreciative up and down glance.
It’s not sexual. It’s an athlete thing. Harlow plays for the Philly women’s soccer team. Needless to say there have been a lot of soccer vs. football conversations between them.
“You like?” She twirls, showing off her Lululemon outfit.
“Okay.” I head back to the pan, ignoring their interaction. “Go look. I’m just serving up dinner for the guys.”
I know she won’t find anything.
She never moved in—officially—and we broke up over six months ago.
But this is what she does.
We’ve hadthe talkso many times, but it doesn’t help when my family loves her so much. Including my father.
If she shows up at his place, he’ll invite her for lunch/breakfast/dinner/whatever we are doing.
I’m not doing that today.
“Beer?” Levi asks.
Goddamn him.
“Just one.” She smiles over her shoulder. “I don’t want to interrupt dinner.”
I stab my kitchen tool in the air at my brother with a glare as she wanders down the hall to silence him.
“What?” he mouths.
I shake my head.
When she returns with an inevitableno, not there,I shrug.
Harlow sips the bottle of beer and leans her hip against the bench. “So, what’s happening?”
