Nora grinned. “I don’t think a happy couple like you should bring a third wheel along. Let Armond take care of this.”

Hannah wanted to retort, but Chandler whispered something and stopped her.

He was quiet for a moment. “Sure.” Armond and us weren’t friends anymore, so that was the only way I could deal with Armond for the time being.
