I fidgeted with the ring on my middle finger as the plane touched down before hitting my phone off airplane mode. I was already bracing myself for the onslaught of texts from the group chat.
Scout
I swear, Kye, if you aren’t here, I’m missing my own wedding to hunt you down.
Fox
Could you catch him?
Jax
Only if he goes in a straight line, she can’t make those corners for anything.
Quinn
Could one of you please come down to the garage and help me load my car?
Ransom
I literally just texted Jax to help you. Why aren’t you helping my wife?
Carly
Because he was driving his own wife and the first seventeen bags of groceries to the diner. Prepping a dinner for 150 people isn’t going to happen overnight. Why aren’t you helping her?
Ransom
Because I’m at the garage trying to make sure all these cars are going to get done while we are all busy this week. Have you ever tried to deal with four young guys who think they are the best thing to walk the fucking planet?
Quinn
Actually, I have. I had to deal with a garage full of guys and one little redhead. Good luck, babe. It’s taken me ten years and I still haven’t been able to keep you guys in line.
Ash
Ohh Carly, can you bring me a sandwich from the diner? Fox hasn’t fed me all day.
Fox
I fed you two hours ago.
Ash
And??
Scout
KYE
Fox
He’s on the plane, Scout, relax.
I had my phone off for five hours and they acted like they would never hear from me again. I rolled my eyes, deciding it was better to respond now than to let it continue.
Kye
I literally just touched down. I will be there in an hour.
Scout
An hour? We have the dinner reservation in an hour.
Kye
So what’s the issue? I will be there on time.
Scout
BARELY
Kye
I will be there. Promise.
Jax
