“Uh huh,” he said. He tugged my hair once. “Lock the door behind me. I’ll see you in the morning.”
“Night, Coop.”
“Night.”
I leaned against the door after he left and let out a breath. I’d actually been more nervous about Coop’s reaction than I had Mathieu’s kiss. And the French guy was definitely out of the bag. Coop did not keep secrets well.
My phone buzzed, so I pulled it out.
Dessert Options:You got home safe?
I grinned. There were a bunch of other messages.Crap. The guys. I’d muted them. I’d fix that in a minute.
Yes, I did. I had a really good time.
Dessert Options:As did I. Good night, Francesca.
Head back, I closed my eyes.
Nope. I’d look at the guys’ messages in the morning. I was in a good mood, and I planned on sticking to it.
