“There’s only one way to find out.” He takes my hand and leads me to the door. “Wanna go to lunch at The Lodge and then we can talk at my house after?”

“Really?” I ask about showing up around his siblings together.

“Yeah.” He winks, bringing my hand to his lips and kissing my knuckles. “No point in hidin’ it now that your sister knows.”

When we walk into The Lodge hand-in-hand, the rest of his siblings who are there to eat all hoot and holler, embarrassing us in front of the guests.

Waylon leans into me as we get closer to the tables. “Oh yeah, they knew.”

I giggle and blush at the attention. “Great.”

Magnolia and Ellie are here too, so when I sit across from them and they smile sweetly at me, I return the gesture.

“So…” Magnolia waves her fork between Waylon and me. “How’d this happen?”

Tripp snickers next to her. “So nosy.”

“As if you’re not wonderin’ the same thing,” she drawls.

“The shortened version…” I begin. “I messaged him through a dating app and we started talking.”

Speaking of the app, I need to tell Waylon about Emery showing up at my work yesterday. But I forgot the moment I arrived at his house and he opened the door in only a towel, his hair still dripping wet from his shower.

“She asked me to teach her how to orgasm,” Waylon abruptly adds in the most casual way and then takes a bite of his food.

I elbow him and winks at me. The little blabbermouth. “They didn’t need to knowthat.”

“Oh my God, yes we do!” Magnolia squeals, leaning over the table to get closer.

Ellie checks her pretend watch on her wrist. “I’ve got the whole afternoon free.”

“Did you tell Delilah finally?” Wilder asks.

“She kinda walked in on us makin’ out.” I wince, scooping mashed potatoes and taking a bite.

“Yeah, she ain’t happy with me,” Waylon adds.

“To be fair, she wasn’t happy with you when y’all were datin’, so who cares what she thinks now?” Landen quips, and Ellie shoots him a glare that can only be translated toShut up, you idiot.

“I think she’s madder we didn’t tell her because she still sees me as her little sister who needs her,” I explain. “My parents are okay with it, so I think she will be too once the shock wears off.”

“If y’all get married and Delilah’s your maid of honor, Waylon’s gonna haveta see his ex-girlfriend walk down the aisle before his new wife does.” Magnolia giggles.

“That’s not awkwardat all, Sunny.” Tripp gives her a pointed look.

“Oh, c’mon. It’s kinda funny. She’s his ex’ssister! That’d be like you and me breakin’ up and then I go on to date Wilder.”

Wilder leans over the table and winks at her.

“Don’t even think about it,” Tripp warns him.

It’s hard not to laugh at their antics.

“Or I can hook up with Delilah and level the playin’ field.” Wilder waggles his brows.

“That’s even crazier!” Magnolia blurts. “Your twin’s ex-girlfriend? That’s some straight to jail shit.”

“Wouldn’t be the first time he’s slept with someone I was interested in…” I give him a pointed look.
