If I thought the necklace thing was bad, it got worse. Like, way worse. Because now Charlie had apparently decided that I was his new favorite person on the planet.
Specifically, me and Zavier. Together.
"SO." Charlie said brightly, plopping down right next to us like he hadn't just dropped a family bomb on the entire room.
His golden eyes sparkled with the kind of mischievous energy that meant trouble.
"How long have you two been mated?"Charlie asked.
I choked. Zavier didn't even blink.
"We're not-"I started.
"Since the day he finally stopped running." Zavier said calmly, pulling me closer just to make me squeak.
Charlie gasped. Loudly. Dramatically.
"OH MY GODS THAT'S SO ROMANTIC."He said happily.
"Charlie." Rose's voice was amused, not warning. Of course.
"No, Rose, look!" Charlie gestured wildly between us like he'd just discovered a rare painting.
