“Wanna grab some drinks?” Enzo asked with a warm smile.

I was a bit surprised by the offer, since I expected Enzo to be too disheartened after the match to want to do anything; if anything, he actually seemed excited about the rematch. Maybe finally having some real competition was refreshing for him.

Lori smirked. “I thought you were staying single for a while,” she said.

I rolled my eyes. “I am,” I replied. ” Enzo and I are just friends.”
