brown curls over her shoulder. “What are you going to make me?”
    “Whatever you want. Between Finn and me, we can make anything,” Max boasted.
    “Sounds great. Pick your favorite food and make me that.”
    “Great.” Max leaned back in his seat with a big grin on his face. Shane was going to be disappointed when he canceled their dinner, but he would understand. As long as he could get Finn to cook something, they were in good shape. Max was lying when he said they could cook anything. Finn did most of the cooking while Max did the prep and clean up. He couldn’t predict Finn’s reaction to an unexpected guest but he had high hopes. It was Lily after all.
     
    ***
     
    Finn was home again and digging through the fridge. Max had sent him a vague text about cooking for three earlier. It was a good thing he’d gotten out of work early or he wouldn’t have even had time to cook. He’d thought Max and Shane were going out for dinner, but they must have changed their plans. Of course they expected him to be able to cook for them with almost no notice. It was a selfish move, but Finn wasn’t surprised. Max wasn’t a great cook and Shane was useless in the kitchen.
    He was making simple baked chicken with homemade bread, fruit salad, and steamed green beans on the side. Nothing fancy, but it would be enough for the three of them. They were lucky he had a whole chicken thawing. He’d been planning on making himself lunches for the week and already been planning to make himself dinner anyway. He was trying hard not to be irritated by his brother’s sudden change in plans and demands. It would be better that way. He was going to have to sit through a dinner with Max and Shane anyway. Might as well make the best of it.
    It was also part of his new resolution. He was going to be better to Max. No matter what, they were brothers and were going to complete a triad together. If he kept treating Max badly, there was a chance he could lose his brother forever. That wasn’t what he wanted in a million years. He had to do better by his twin even if it was hard. He owed it to them both.
    Finn was pulling the green beans off the stove when Max strolled in with Lily Aris following him. He almost dropped the beans on the floor, he was so surprised. The last time he’d seen Lily was the disastrous dinner theater date. She’d gotten on his nerves and he’d been very happy to get away from her. It was a sharp change from the first time he saw her at a club. She’d been so friendly and eager that he’d been excited to get to know her better.
    Seeing her in her pink shorts and green tank top, he remembered his initial feelings. The dinner theater was all but forgotten when he saw her cheery smile, ample chest, and shapely legs. He gave Max an appreciative nod. It was going to be real easy to stick to his resolution. The night was suddenly looking up.
    “Hey, Finn.” Lily put out her hand.
    Finn shook her hand. “Hello again. So you’re our third tonight, huh?”
    “I guess I am,” Lily said seductively.
    Whoa. Finn shot a look at Max, who shrugged. He hadn’t meant it that way but now the thought was in his head. Clearly he’d been right about her the first time they met. She really was a fun and nice girl with a little bit of a wild side.
    “What are we having?” She looked around the kitchen. “Smells really good.”
    “Thanks,” Finn said. “It’s just lemon chicken, green beans, fruit salad, and bread. I was already cooking when Max said you guys were headed over.”
    “That’s lucky.” Lily was looking around the living room. “This looks bigger than Chet and Addison’s place.”
    “It is,” Finn confirmed. “Max and I only have a one-bedroom. It’s a little weird sharing a room right now, but it means that we get a bigger living area.”
    “Oh my gosh.” Lily put her hand over her mouth and giggled. “Do you guys, like, sleep in bunk beds?”
    Max laughed. “That was what I suggested, but he
