  “I did ignore him. Did you see me punching anybody?” I asked, refilling the chips.

  He grinned. “No.”

  “I think I’ve been very calm, considering I feel like I have a scarlet G on the front of my shirt at all times.”

  “This is how I see it, C. I saw Sal and his girlfriend eating shellfish the other day at Santino’s. Now correct me if I’m wrong, but the bible says they should be stoned to death. I didn’t see them sweating it. They scarfed their meals down as if they would never eat again.”

  Chuckling, I studied him. “I love you.”

  His eyes bugged. “What the fuck? You just let that pop out like it was nothing.”

  I grabbed two beers from the fridge. “I’ve been practicing in front of the mirror. It’s going pretty well.”

  He looped his strong arm around my waist and pulled me close. “It’s going extremely well.”

  “Are we watching a game tonight?”

  “We could watch the Real Housewives of Orange County if you’d rather.”

  “Sure if that’s what you want,” he murmured.

  “We should take a kissing selfie and send it to Sal.”

  “Okay. But we won’t be able to send him any of the selfies from the hotel room. Just the elevator.”

  “You have evil gay plans for me, don’t you?” I grinned, my chest tight at the affectionate look in his eyes.

  “Let’s just say don’t plan on leaving the room much.”

  I laughed, and we made our way to the couch, balancing the beers and chips.
