“What are you looking at me for?” Gilbert gave him a sidelong glance, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “As Edgar’s cousin, even Yates is clueless? As her ex, I’m even more out of the loop.”

“Man, oh man.” Yates was totally in the dark. “I honestly had no idea. Man, this is messy. Can you imagine what my aunt and uncle would say if they found out?”
