“What about the guys? They would be pissed if they knew what was going on. You have become one of their favorite people and, in case you haven’t noticed, they are a little on the protective side. It’s actually kind of weird to watch you with them from the outside. They each show their protective streak in a different way, but it’s there and unmistakable.
