“I thought you left town,” Sammie directs to Emmanuel. “I did. I’m back. I heard your wife is getting a visitor tonight.” Emmanuel looks at Louie. “Is she?” Louie smiles. “Figured I’d stick around and come for dinner.” Emmanuel shrugs. “Sure, the more the merrier.” Louie shakes his head and then glances over to me. “Bring Antonia and Jazzy. He won’t go doing anything stupid if Jazzy’s there.” He points at Emmanuel. “Cool, use my daughter in place of the antipsychotics we all know he needs. Why not?” I laugh.
