Chapter 91

“Well. Thank you. You didn’t need to do all this. Not just for me.”

“Too bloody

right,” Rob said. He was standing in the kitchen doorway, a large apron on his

athletic frame bearing the legend “Rugby Players Beat Off Better”. “It’s not

just for you.”

The front door

jangled.

Patrick turned

to see Lee sidling his way in, his eyes growing wider and wider as he took in

the decorations. He had a messenger bag over his shoulder and a small cool-bag

in his hand.

“Patrick?” he

said, wonderingly.

“The other

celebrity guest!” Eddy crowed.

“Time for

cupcakes!” Rob said with a satisfied grin, and disappeared back into the

kitchen.

Patrick rounded

on Bryan. “Who else is in on this meeting?”

“Just you two.”

“And everyone

else, it seems!”

“No.” Bryan

slid his arm around Phiz’s shoulders. “We’re all out of here now. It’s up to

you two to sort things out between you. But next time we see you, we expect to

see a couple.”
