I nodded.

“Maybe we should stick around so you two can talk?”

“Nah. Where’s the next stop, Ty?”

“Hockey house for a kegger?” he offered.

“No,” I said sternly. “Let’s head back to Noah and Dinah’s and get Lu settled.”

“You should talk to her,” Luna said.

“Stay out of it, Lu,” I warned.

She frowned but didn’t press me on it. We parted ways with Ty, and I drove us to Old City. I grabbed Luna’s bag when we walked inside. I heard Dinah and Noah in the kitchen as we walked upstairs.

“Hey,” Dinah said. “I was just gonna call you to see if you were going to be around for dinner. My brother dropped off a lasagna.”

“Ooh, I love lasagna,” Luna said.

“Oh, this is Luna,” I introduced my sister.

They greeted her, and then Luna took her bag from me while Dinah showed her to her room upstairs. Noah went into the fridge and handed me a beer. The girls came back downstairs, chattering away.

“You ready for the game tomorrow?” Noah asked.

I gave him a silent nod.

I wasn’t worried about the game since I had been on fire lately.

“Are you sure?” Noah asked.

“Yeah?”

He studied me. “What’s been up with you lately? You’re mopey.”

I sighed.

“Him and his girlfriend broke up,” Luna cut in.

I shot her a glare, and she gave it back like she was daring me to say something else in front of Noah.

Noah’s expression was unreadable as he stared at me for a few seconds, like he was waiting for me to say something else. “Well, that sucks. I’m sure you’ll figure it out.”

Behind him, Dinah stared suspiciously at me.

Noah asked my sister how she liked Franklin, his way of avoiding confrontation. I was grateful for that.

The four of us ate dinner together, and afterward, Noah stood up and grabbed his coat. “Okay, I gotta go.”

I pinned him with a look. “Do we have a meeting I don’t know about?”

Dinah waved me off. “TJ needs help building a dresser for the twins.”

“Do you need an extra set of hands?” I asked.

Noah shook his head. “Nah, I got it. I’ll see you later.”

As soon as the door shut behind him, Dinah whipped her head around and glared at me. My sister sat up and if she could grab popcorn and watch the show, she would.
