She can't quite read him. Part of that is her own nerves, she knows, but part of that is also the fact that he's got such a good goddamn poker face at the worst of times, and right now the only thing she has to work off of it a slight widening of his eyes and a thinning of his lips.

It could mean anything.

But shit. He's a good man. Her best friend. He won't hold a little crush against her, not after everything they've been through together. Either he'll be okay with it or he'll let her down easy, but he's not the type of man to get weird about shit like this.

She squares her shoulders and lifts her chin. "Yes," she says clearly, stomping down the butterflies that erupt in her stomach. She's not going to apologize again, and she's not going to try and let him off the hook, because there's no hook to let him off of, and they both know that. She hopes they both know that.

Over his shoulder, she can see Roque crossing his arms over his chest and Pooch is giving her a thumbs-up, pointing at Cougar's back and then making a big heart in the air before pointing at her. Her eyes narrow.

"You want me too?" It's only half a question.
