Nathan nods. “You are all impossible to buy for.”
Dani laughs. “That’s probably because you all are millionaires, and you buy me stuff all the time for no reason.”
I kiss her head. “The reason is we love you and want to spoil you, and don’t think that’s going to stop anytime soon.”
“And I’m actually a billionaire,” Nathan says.
Just then, Nathan’s phone dings with a text, and he reaches into his pocket to pull it out. He reads something on the screen. Then smiles. "We now have a house to stay in when we go to Franklin."
Michael shakes his head. "I thought we agreed you wouldn’t call your real estate agent on Christmas.”
"I didn't call him. I texted him. And I waited until this evening. Christmas is practically over.”
Dani sits up a little straighter and looks at him. "You bought a house in Franklin? By text?"
"My agent knows what I like. And there aren't that many houses in Franklin that meet my standards,” he says as he closes his eyes again.
Michael chuckles. “How many were there that were good enough for Nathan Armstrong?”
Nathan’s eyes are still closed, but he smiles. “One.”
We all laugh.
“Does it have a barn?” Michael asks.
“It does, as a matter of fact,” Nathan says. “Hey, Crew, do you want a pony?”
“Hell yeah,” I say. “Who doesn’t want a pony?”
“Grown-assed men,” Nathan says.
“You don’t need a barn, and Crew doesn’t need a pony,” Michael says.
I shrug. “It’s not about need, Doc. You heard Nate. It’s aboutwant. Maybe I want a pony.” I really don’t. But I enjoy messing with Nathan.
“Well, you’ll have to buy your own pony. But you can keep it in my barn.”
“You’re such a dirty-talker, Boss,” I tell him, taking a big bite of my sandwich.
Nathan just shakes his head. He doesn’t even bother flipping me off or anything. He really is tired.
"You know," Michael says in that thoughtful, I-have-a-fantastic-idea voice of his. "While you're in the real estate buying mood, we should talk about something."
Nathan opens his eyes at that and tucks a hand behind his head. "Something like what?"
Oh, sure, he’ll pay full attention whenDoctalks.
I just grin and keep eating.
Michael is rubbing his hand up and down Dani's calf, and he looks over at us. "I think we'd all agree that we would prefer to all be here together all the time."
Nathan snorts.
"Okay, eighty-seven percent of the time," Michael corrects.
I shoot Nathan a look. He doesn't argue with that, and I smile.
"What are you saying?" Dani asks. Her eyes are wide.
