Whatever pall had been cast on the table before from talking about her parents was entirely gone now. Hikaru had seemed to come out of nowhere to kiss Josh full on the lips with no shame or concern. The kind of thing her mother would decry, but that Espie loved. Especially when Josh grinned like a fool.
If ever two people were truly in love, it was the two men in front of her. And she was positively grinning over it.
"Hikaru Shinta, huh?" Espie cast a sideways glance at Josh, teasing him a little bit at his reaction.
"Hi Hikaru. I'm Esperanza, but like Josh said, Espie is better." She's just going to greedily look over his tattoos. "We didn't get to the part where Josh tells me he's madly in love with someone, so thank you for helping us skip ahead to that part."
But Josh somehow managed to get it back on her and her grin looks a little abashed. "Not all of us are used to seeing dragons on our front lawns! All I had were windmills. I'm probably going to be Aidan's fan for life." And maybe their fan for life too now.
Y'ALL ARE SNEAKY AND GREAT
