Laughing so hard Quote by Harper Sloan
““After lunch with Beck, I spend some time with Emmy while we wait on Chelcie to finish up with Sway. According to Maddox’s last grunt filled, one-word response, phone call, she is happily being ‘fluffed like a f**king bird’. I start laughing so hard that I almost drop the phone when he tells me that Sway has already tried to sit on his lap twice. Those guys can play all they want, but they secretly love the attention that Sway is not shy about throwing at them. “We need to get Sway a man. Not just any man, but we need someone that could stand up next to these C.S. boys and belong. Certified, grade-A, hunk material.” Emmy looks up from where she’s entering some notes from an earlier meeting the guys had and drops her jaw. “You aren’t seriously thinking about playing matchmaker, right?””
