  “And the plot thickens.” Grace slapped Simon’s arm, snapping him out of his daze. She then searched Hugo’s face. “Why was Spencer eyeing you like a five-course dinner?”

  “Am I a telepath?” Hugo deflected.

  Marshmallow: Still meeting at your place?

  ME: Still bringing Carmelo’s?

  Marshmallow: Yup. Already hungry for Big Samoans.
