Ryan has yet to meet Riley's Handsome Irish, and he's been named, but he has heard Riley talk about him practically non stop, and seen some interesting text messages exchanged back and forth. There are no secrets between Riley and Ryan, and he guesses that must be weird for any prospective romantic partners, but text message privacy is just not a thing that exists with them. So, when Davin walks into the flower shop, Ryan has to resist the urge to roll his eyes and smirk.

It's easy enough, as it turns out, because walking in behind Davin is an honest to god fox, and Ryan is too bewildered to think about anything else. "That's an interesting dog," he says slowly, barely registering that he's being handed a coffee. When it clicks, he looks down at his hand and startles. "Oh, hey, that's coffee, thanks. Riley's withdrawal symptoms were starting to kick in."
