Rae held the shot out with both hands “You take it with both hands, or it is insulting, and you have to finish the entire shot…”

“Twenty-two” Seriously, what did that have to do with anything?

Rae grinned “So, if Lucas’s glass is ever eoes for me since we’re both technically your seniors”

“And Kai, Jay, or Sookie?”

“Your juniors” He shrugged “Not a ton of rules there, though they may need to make sure your shot’s always full”

“Ummm… always full?”

“Always full”

“But you have to finish it”

“Exactly”

“Oh, don’t worry,” Jay finally chimed in “It’s way lower than vodka”

“Oh” I relaxed instantly “Oh good, you guys had me worried”

I reached for the shot with both hands and drank all of it I
