“It’s going to get bat shit crazy, you know that right?”

Jack turned as his cousin Maverick walked in from outside

“Mom and Dad head out?” he asked

Maverick nodded and glanced around “Where’s Donovan?”

Good question His lady had been real quiet, and he was starting to get more than a little concerned A lot had happened over the last several days, and it was gonna take some time for the both of them to wrap their heads around it all

“She headed up for a shower” He paused “Any particular reason you’re still hanging around?”

Maverick grabbed a beer out of the fridge and leaned against the kitchen counter “Are you asking me to leave?”

Rick’s attitude annoyed the hell out of Jack, and his temper spiked He knew the two of them were close—real close—but still, he wanted Donovan to hi?

“Donovan and I have sos to work out Some privacy would be appreciated”

Maverick took a long draw on his beer and fixed Jack with a look that was dead serious Soe Told hio as easy as he’d like

“I’ood, if that’s okay with you”

Jack’s eyes narrowed dangerously This was turning into a pissing contest “It’s not okay”
