Alder

Guess who just saved a hiker from what was surely imminent death?

Texts that highlight my heroics are my favorite texts to send. The alternative is bleak and brings down the vibe considerably.

Alder

Here’s a hint: He’s got a great ass and a charming personality too.

Alder

Fine! I’ll tell you. It was me. Your favorite brother.

Baby Lo

Are you ok? Are they? I thought Rhett was the favorite.

Rhett

Atta boy! Proud of you! Correct, Baby Lo. I am the favorite.

Alder

I’m fine. The hiker’s fine. Actually, he’s getting ready to propose to his girlfriend in the hospital as I type this out. Rhett, you are absolutely not the favorite.

Knox

What a typical Knox response. I roll my eyes.

Winnie

Mare texted me. She said the guy was lucky! Sounds like he was lucky you’re good at what you do!

I’m not surprised that her best friend already stole my thunder.

Alder

Aww, Win. You’re gonna make me blush. When are you leaving my less handsome, less fun, not favorite brother for me again?

Rhett

Alder.

Alder

Oh, shit. I’m so sorry, Rhett. This isn’t how I wanted you to find out.

I laugh as I picture his face reading that one.

Winnie

Rhett

You’re not as funny as you think you are.

Alder

I may not be as funny as YOU think I am, but I’m definitely as funny as I think I am.
