Dominic studied him, noting the genuine confusion on his face. If Collin was acting, he was damn good at it. Raising an eyebrow, he said, "Kylee was attacked last night. Someone slashed her face. She was rushed to the hospital-doctors managed to stop the bleeding, but the cut was too deep. It'll scar." Collin barely reacted. "That has nothing to do with me." His voice was steady, unaffected. He had only just heard about it.
himself.
His gaze flicked to Dominic, suspicion creeping in. "Why would you think I had anything to do with it?" He didn't need to play dirty. He never had.
Dominic leaned against the desk, crossing his arms. "Because Kylee went after Linsey." His smirk was almost amused. "Dustin and I both know how you are when it comes to your wife. Who's to say you didn't handle it yourself?" Collin's expression didn't waver. "I have no reason to go that far. Kylee did this to herself."

He took the invitation, scanning it quickly. It was real-a birthday invitation.

Dominic smirked. "Ah... This was Linsey's idea, wasn't it?" "Exactly." At the mention of Linsey, Collin's usual stoicism melted into a rare, effortless smile. "She enjoys a celebration, so you have to come." "Of course," Dominic agreed without hesitation.

It was almost surreal-Collin, of all people, was actually throwing a birthday party.
Then again, since it was Linsey's idea, it made perfect sense.

"This is all because of Linsey! If she weren't into birthdays, would he even consider celebrating?" Dominic smirked. "Definitely not."
"In that case, I need to pick out a good gift." Dustin nodded, stroking chinish thought. He glanced at Dominic. "So, what are you getting him?" They had known each other for years but had rarely exchanged gifts.
Even as close friends, they honestly had no idea what Collin was into.
But lately, there was no question-Collin's world revolved around Linsey.
