id. It meant that he didn’t have to explain to everybody he met that he wasn’t Cam Hartson.

Though enough people still made that mistake.

“Yeah, let’s hurry up and get a drink,” Tanner agreed. “I have a hot date with my wife tonight.” Tanner and Van – his childhood best friend – had reconnected last year, after a decade of not talking to each other. They ran the local drive-in movie theater, and were disgustingly in love.

“Young love.” Logan grinned. “Give it a year and you two’ll be desperate for a night apart.”

“I doubt it.” Tanner shrugged. “You’ll understand when you meet the right woman.”

Gray laughed loudly. “Logan’s married to his restaurants. We all know that.”

“Yeah,” Tanner agreed as they walked into the bar. “But do they keep him warm at night?”

Logan shook his head, sighing at his brothers’ teasing. “Why don’t you ask Cam when he’s going to settle down?” he asked, as he spotted his twin sitting at the bar. Cam stood up from the stool he was sitting on, a huge grin on his face as he walked over to hug his brothers one by one.

“Why are you talking about me settling down?” Cam asked, looking genuinely confused. As expected, he had his Boston Bobcats hat pulled low on his head. He was wearing a pair of low-slung jeans and a black t-shirt. The days of Logan and Cam dressing identically were long-gone, thank God. Logan winced at the thought of it.

They may have looked the same, but they were individuals.

“Tanner was asking Logan when he was gonna find a woman,” Gray said, slapping Cam on the back. “But we don’t need to ask you. We know you’re never going to settle down.”

“I don’t have time.” Cam shrugged. “And even if I did, I wouldn’t tell you guys.”

Tanner punched Cam in the arm. “You’re a professional football player. We all know you’re fighting the women off.”

Cam shook his head at his brothers, while Logan bit down a grin. Though he’d flown back to his home town a few times recently, it wasn’t often that all four of the brothers were here at the same time. The last occasion had been for Tanner and Van’s wedding.

And now they were all here for his nephews’ first birthday party. Gray and Maddie’s twin sons had come as a surprise to them as well as everybody else. Cam had been miffed that there were more twins in the family, whereas Logan thought it was hilarious.

“I’ll get the first round. What are you having?” Cam asked them.

“I’ll take a beer,” Gray said.

“I’ll have the same,” Tanner added.

“Just water for me,” Logan told them.

Three heads immediately turned to look at him. “What?” He shrugged. “I gotta drive tonight.”

Cam eyed him suspiciously. “Where are you going?”

Logan leaned his elbows on the bar. “Catching up with a friend.”

“So you’re leaving me on my own?” Cam put his hand against his heart and winced. “How could you?”

Logan laughed. “We’re not kids anymore. And you can spend the night with Aunt Gina. She’d love that.”

“So this friend. Are they of the male or female variety?” Cam asked, still side-eyeing Logan.

“None of your business.”

Cam shrugged. “Female then. A booty call?”

“I’ll refer you to my previous answer,” Logan told him, taking the glass of water Gray was holding.

“Can you two stop bitching for a minute?” Gray asked. “I want to make a toast and you’re spoiling it.”

Cam held his hands up. “Go ahead.”
