Ellie
I hear you have a cowboy in your apartment.
Hudson
Oh, I totally do.
“Smile, Jack.” He took a picture as soon as Jack glanced up at him and sent it. “It’s Ellie.”
Hudson
He made me breakfast!
Ellie
OMG! OMFG!!! *happy dance*
Hudson
Haha right? See him stuffing his face? We’re going out tonight. He brought me coffee in the shower.
“She says hi.”
“Tell that crazy woman to have a good day.” Jack finished his last bite with a happy moan. “Good shit.”
Ellie
You did it, Hud! I’m happy for you.
He wasn’t sure he had yet, but he had Jack thinking; he knew he did.
Hudson
Jack says have a good day
Ellie
Tell him it’ll be better when he says he loves you!
Hudson
Stop that.
Jesus. They were going to jinx something.
Hudson
You enjoy your man and his latest check and I’ll text you soon.
Ellie
OK loverboy! xo
He put his phone back down on the table. “She heard you were here. I wonder how that happened?”
“Let’s see. Mackey told Tommy. Tommy told Hawk. Hawk told Chris who told Sky who told Parker who told every single human being on earth.”
He laughed. “I didn’t realize what gossips rodeo people are.” So the whole world knew they were spending time together. That had to work in his favor, though it might not make Jack too happy. That was pressure, and Jack didn’t respond well to pressure.
