You\u2019re not going all weirdly stuffy and British again, are you?\u201d Wyatt, in his typical sharp-eyed manner, found the tender spots in Hamish\u2019s armour and needled him ruthlessly. \u201cDude. Text him. Send a fucking pigeon. Scottie has zero chance with him, but he\u2019s not the only man in Cardiff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hamish involuntarily crushed the invoice in his hand, the one he\u2019d been pretending to peruse when the American twat interrupted him. \u201cBloody Yank.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, I\u2019m sorry.
