Lou wasn’t necessarily frantic, but she absolutely had busted into the emergency bag of Twizzlers in her desk when she’d been upstairs and gotten a text from Nick about coming over. It wasn’t entirely unrealistic for him to text her, considering they’d been spending more and more time together lately. If she didn’t have Huck and Clem taking up space in her bed at home, she probably would’ve been more bothered by spending the night at home without him.
The thing about Lou was that she was very laid back, and that worked in her favor almost all of the time, but something about Nick had the wheels in her head spinning. So being invited over for dinner was the sort of thing that really just made her wonder. Were they dating? Were they merely friends with benefits? Lou needed to break this down with someone, and her first thought was her brother, Jack. Jack was a guy, he would understand what the texts meant, what inviting a woman over for dinner was supposed to mean. “Okay,” she said as she finished chewing on the Twizzler rope she’d just bit off. “Say you’re hookin’ up with this girl, and you and her are pretty casual people but you’re friends. Like, old friends. If you invite her over for dinner one night, specifically dinner and not just a ‘hey come bone me’ kinda thing, what does that imply?”
