"So what's the problem? You slept with the same woman. Big deal. It happens from time to time."

"I don't think you're getting it, Buzz. We slept with her at the same time.Together."

"Like a threesome?"

"Yeah."

"When?"

"The night before we helped you move."

"Oh. That explains the weirdness. Wait. Why was it weird?"

"Because I liked it."

"Okay."

"I mean, I liked…him."

"Wait. You guys did stuff…to each other?"

"A little, yeah. And that is as much detail as I'm prepared to share."

"Wow. Okay. Good for you guys." When I'm met with zero response, I hedge, "Right?"

"Ramzi and I went out for a drink two nights ago."

"To debrief?"

"Well…" Howie shuffles uncomfortably. "Briefs did come off."

"No way."

"Kind of don't know what to do now."

"Take it from me, brother. The best advice I have is this—talk. If you like him, tell him. If you want to do things to his body again, tell him. It's the best way. Scratch that, it's the only way to move forward."

"Yeah, I won't be doing any of that. I leave in a couple of weeks to start pre-training. Which means…"

His face goes red, and I know exactly what it means. My up-to-now exclusively straight twin brother is going to spend the next few weeks hankering for my second-best friend's dick.

"Never say never," I say, chuckling to myself, looking back into the house filled with all the people I love, my husband, and our son. "Life has a funny way of turning out how you least expect it."

He makes a pained groaning noise, and I smile some more.

I, for one, cannot wait to see howthisturns out.
