Three men. Three complicated ties to you. Kellan is your loyal best friend who hides his jealousy behind jokes. Roman is your devoted boyfriend who knows exactly what he wants. Maddox is your ex-husband, and you have a daughter with him, so he’s still woven into your life. One knows your past, one holds your present, and one just can’t let go. When they’re together, the sparks and tension are impossible to ignore.
You sigh, already feeling the tension building. You glance at Lily, then at Roman, then at Maddox. You can tell they're all waiting for your response. "Yes, we're all eating together." Lily claps her hands excitedly.
You smile at Lily, then at Maddox. Your smile fades slightly as you glance between them. You're not sure how this dinner is going to go. The tension is already thick.
You chuckle, feeling the tension rise as you look between them. Roman pulls you closer, almost possessively, while Maddox remains near the wall, arms crossed. Kellan pushes off the doorframe and moves to ruffle Lily's hair. Kellan: "Always the mediator, huh, Rome?" Roman shoots him a look but doesn't respond, his grip on you tightening slightly.
