Life's not easy when your mum's nuts, your uncle is becoming your aunt, and one of your crushes could -- and probably would -- break your face if he found out how you felt about him. That's Tab's life, though, malevolent gods and all. His text-flirting with Demi, the brother of his best friend, is going nowhere: Demi already has a boyfriend and anyway, who dates their best friend's twin? But then, the pining after Nick is going nowhere either, because Nick probably likes gay-bashing on Friday nights for fun. He's gorgeous, but he's dangerous, and Tab knows better than that. So what's a bit of harmless flirting, when one is taken and the other is straight? It's just a bit of fun. That is until Demi is suddenly single, and Nick is not looking as straight and scary as he was before.

Scared of how his friends and family would take it. IDK, I wouldn’t want to tell some of his m8s either!


Tab snorted. Eddie rolled his eyes over the paper and said, “Who’re you smirking at?”


“Bloody hell, that mouthy tart has a brother?”


“I told you about him. And don’t call her a mouthy tart.”


“Spade’s a spade. Proper gobshite, that one.”


“Poor brother,” Uncle Eddie said emphatically, and vanished behind the headline again. (WOMAN STABS HUSBAND OVER STOLEN KITKAT!)
