Chapter 63

“See, we argue even when we’re on the same side. I’m not debating any of that. Tomorrow is another day, and none of us are Kreskin. That’s what I’m saying. You might date ten more men and still end up with Mathias. It could happen.”

“You broke up before?”

“Several times,” Mama told me. “But here we are.”

“Have a doughnut.” Dad held one out to me.

“Nothing but sugar. I shouldn’t,” I told him. “I’m probably already up a few pounds, and we have a meet the first week in January. I ate all the leftover roast beef, though. Protein is better.”

“One won’t hurt you.”

“He said no, Marvet. He’s training.”

“Oh, come on! It’s Christmas.”

I took the doughnut, but set it on my dresser when I got up to my bedroom, where I went to text Mathias. Devon came in fresh from the shower as I hit Send on Just wanted to wish you a Merry Xmas. Hope all is well.

“What are you doing taking a shower on Pajama Day?”

“None of your business.”
