          “Ross messed up big time,” I flop onto Joey’s bed. “Glad to be back home.”

          “It is good to be home,” Joey falls down next to me.

          “Where’s Chandler?” I snuggle into Joey’s side.

          “Out,” he kisses the top of my head. “Why?”

          “If he was here, I wanted to tell him about us.”

          “Ah, well, this must be a sign we should wait.”

          “I guess it is.”

          “We’ll tell him, don’t worry.”

          I smile, “I’m going to say something silly, so please don’t laugh at me.”

          “If you’re serious, I won’t laugh.”

          “Brother’s best friends are now mine as well. And one of them has made me happier than I’ve ever been. Life is in the right lane now.”

          “That’s not silly. It’s from the heart, and I love it.”

          “You should read my novel.”

          “I will, when you let me,” he tickles me for a few seconds.

          I giggle and wiggle in Joey’s grasp. “Joseph, please.”

          “I love you,” Joey coos, kissing all over my face.

          “Joey, you spoil me.”

          “I try,” he gives me a small squeeze.

          “I love you too, by the way,” I sit up to look down at the man who loves me for all I am, and that I love just as dearly. “I don’t want to just sit here. Let’s order some pizza.”

          “Perfect way to end this day.”
