“Pretty ritzy, huh?” Mars said, surprising Dylan by putting one arm around his waist.


“Damn, I guess.” He shot Mars an amused glance. “Need support going down the stairs?”

“Skinny ass my…ass,” Vicki called back as she hurried down to meet him.


“Got me,” Mars replied. “They weren’t last time she and I were out here, but things can change in a heartbeat.”


“Big brothers should know these things.”


Mars snorted. “I take it you don’t have younger sisters.”
