Page 76 of Tank’s Weakness

“I love how we all ordered burgers,” Sloane says as she reaches for a chip.

“I honestly never even looked at the menu, and I’ve never been here, so I figured, why not?” I say as I take a chip, running it through the spinach artichoke dip.

When I take a bite, I can’t help but sigh. I love a good spinach artichoke dip, and I’ll be the first to tell you some places do it better than others.

“Do you want some?” I ask Tank.

He shakes his head as he pops a cheese-covered pretzel bite into his mouth.

“I’m not a fan of spinach,” he says.

I stare at him in shock. “How did I not know that?”

He shrugs and grabs another pretzel bite. “It’s never come up.”

“I’ve been with Gunner for almost two years now, and I swear I’m still learning shit about him,” Sloane says, jumping in.

Gunner grunts. “Just found out she will only eat green apples and never red unless it’s Fuji.”

“I prefer the tartness and crispness of green, but sometimes a girl needs a little sweet, which is where Fuji comes in,” Sloane says, defending herself.

“Hey, no judgment. We all know what we like and don’t like. For example, I love red wine but don’t care for white,” I say.

Sloane winces. “Yeah, I’ll let you drink all the wine you want. I’m more of a beer girl.”

Tank chuckles, making her glare.

“What’s so funny?” Sloane asks.

“Just remembered that when we met you, you weren’t even legal to drink yet.” Tank smirks.

She raises her hand and gives him the middle finger, making him laugh harder.

I look over at Gunner and joke, “We can’t take them anywhere, can we?”

Tank

“We can’t take them anywhere, can we?” she asks with humor in her voice.

Gunner shakes his head with fake disappointment. “We really should leave them at home until they are house-trained.”

Sloane and I share a look and burst out laughing.

I fucking love everything about this. Delaney is getting to know my people on a deeper level. Weaving her life with mine. Not only that, but Gunner is comfortable enough to joke with her, which is a miracle in itself.

It’s awesome and something I never thought was in the cards for me.

“If you think we are bad, don’t spend any time with Jagger,” Sloane quips.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if he randomly showed up. I swear the guy has a tracker planted on your ass,” Gunner says, looking at me.

“We share locations with each other.” I shrug.

Everyone turns to look at me.

“Are you serious?” Sloane asks.

“Is that a joke? I can’t tell,” Delaney says.
