Chapter 99
“Fuck, dude,” Declan says, watching me squat all the plates in the gym.
“I’m stressed.” I huff, racking the weight.
“Real-ity?”
“Dani.”
“Ah.”
We look at each other; I think both of us are considering if our new friendship is at the point for me to talk to him about Dani. “She wants a baby,” I share.
Declan nearly chokes on his water, and I laugh. “Not right now, in the future.” I decide to confide, “I am not having children. I told her that before we slept together.”
Declan makes a face, and I don’t know how to read it. “What?”
“She has a way of getting what she wants.”
“Would you have a drink for Dani?” I snap at him, then regret how harsh it came out. “That’s how strong of a conviction I have on this topic.”
