PREVIEW
"Coming from the man whose tastes change faster than his Instagram bio, I'll take that as a compliment. At least I don't float from fad to fad like a dilettante."

"Are we still talking about the drink?"
"Careful. Not all of us flit between drinks like we do bedposts."
A bark of laughter escaped Ryan, though it held an edge. "Oh, I don't know about that. You were quite the fickle mingler in your day, too."
"And whose fault was that?"
