Bria tapped her fork against her plate, playing dumb. “What are you all staring at? Dig in.”

Andrew was floored. “Holy crap, you two…” His eyes bounced back and forth between them, but he was still too stunned to find the words. He knew exactly what kind of person Bria was, and the fact that she’d actually fallen for Kaleb of all people was insane.

Andrew had genuinely thought Bria was just messing around, falling for someone one minute and moving on to the next, but now she was actually serious about it, and they were officially together?

Andrew said, “How long have you guys been together?”

Bria said, “Since I came back.”

“And you kept it from us this whole time? That’s savage!” Andrew griped. As her best friend, he knew he was supposed to be cheering her on, but Bria’s track record was honestly pretty rough, and he didn’t have high hopes that they’d last. He genuinely suspected they’d be calling it quits in a couple of months.

Andrew glanced at Kaleb. It was typical for Bria to do something like this, and dating someone for fun when she was bored was nothing new. What was actually shocking was Kaleb. Kaleb had actually forgiven Bria and gotten together with her? Did this guy lose his mind? Wasn’t he afraid of getting screwed over by Bria?

Andrew had to hand it to Kaleb for the sheer guts. If he himself were dating someone, he’d never in a million years go for a personality like Bria’s.

Just on that point alone, Andrew couldn’t help but see Kaleb in a new light. He really was the guy who’d gone toe–to–toe with Troy.

Renee had been watching Bria’s transformation play out, and the two of them being together didn’t

play surprise her one bit.

Besides, Kaleb was Ayla’s brother, and Renee adored Ayla, so she had a soft spot for Kaleb too.

Now that they were a couple, her one and only thought was that Kaleb had better not do Bria wrong. On that, she and Andrew were on completely different pages.

“I’m so happy for you guys,” Renee said from the heart. How long they lasted didn’t redily mattered was that they were happy right now.

Finally, it was Emmett’s turn. The look on his face went through every emotion possible–it was more tangled than a Rubik’s Cube. He looked at Kaleb, then at Bria, then at Andrew and Renee, who seemed just as confused as he was. Then he put his face to his glass and drank the whole thing in one gulp.

He’d been worried his buddy would live out his days solo, but now he was almost worried that Kaleb actually had a girlfriend. Besides, that was just one tiny piece of why his head was spurning

The bigger thing was, Emmett had personally witnessed all the drama between Kaleb and Bria, and he’d assumed those two were headed for lifelong enemies status. Instead, here they were, lovey dovey and dating, with no warning. Emmett was floored.

Was this what fate looked like?

The two people who had no business ever being together somehow actually ended up together?

So where the hell is his own girlfriend then? As the only lifelong single guy at the table, Emmett was starting to feel a small twinge of panic.

Kaleb elbowed Emmett. “Say something.

.

Emmett cleared his throat. “Surprising, but also kind of not!”

Bria said, “What’s the surprising part?”

Emmett looked around the table. “I never thought ‘dating‘ would be a word that could describe Kaleb. He was always a complete ‘stay away‘ sign to women. Who would’ve guessed you’d actually pull off a relationship?”

Andrew looked at Emmett like he was hopeless. “No wonder you’re still single. Guys like Kaleb are hot!”

Emmett said, “Hey, no need for the personal attacks. I’m not bad either!”

Andrew said, “Sure, you’re easy on the eyes, but your brain’s another story. Who wants a guy with a few screws loose?”

Emmett let out a frustrated laugh. “With a tongue that vicious, you really think there’s a girl out there who’d want you?”

Andrew laughed back, ready to fire off a comeback, but Renee elbowed him. Meanwhile, Bria turned to Kaleb, curious. “How come you’re not surprised?”

“Do you even need to ask?” Emmett cut in. “Kaleb’s never given another woman the time of day. You’re the

it way one and only exception, and his whole vibe around you was different from day one. I picked up on before you guys were even together. Either Kaleb stays single forever, or if he ever does date, it can only be you. Nobody else.”

Bria really wanted to throw some shade about Matilda right then, but the timing wasn’t right, and she didn’t want to embarrass Kaleb.

Kaleb and Matilda. The reason it had Besides, there had never actually been anything going on be bothered Bria back then was mainly because Kaleb was ignoring her. She was in a bad headspace, letting her mind run wild, and her possessive streak, was kicking in. Anyone who got close to Kaleb was going to set her off, which how Matilda had gotten dragged into it.

Kaleb had explained it too. The roses on set that one time were from a friend of Matilda’s, and the birthday party invite had been Emmett’s doing. None of it had anything to do with Kaleb,

That said, Bria did give Emmett a second look. “Pretty smooth. You know exactly what I want to hear.”

Emmett said, “You guys are already together, so what do I have to hold back about? I’m just stating the fact.” Then he shot Kaleb a look. “Right?”

Kaleb didn’t say anything.

Emmett elbowed him right back. “Come on, say something. What’s there to hold back? You wouldn’t be
