“What?”
I walk into the kitchen and grab a beer. “I didn’t kill your son.”
“Good, because it would be a real fucking bummer to have to buy my kid and my best friend while being incarcerated for murder, you asshole.”

“Good point.”

Not that it matters. I’d still kick his puny ass.”

“Jonah!” I place my hand over his and squeeze. “You need to calm down.”
He turns to me, his eyes glistening with anger.
“What is wrong with you?”
His thick black eyelashes make a slow pass over his eyes and he stills. “She’s my baby girl…”

“You listen to me, Vajonah,” Blake yells into the phone. “I swear to all that is good and holy in this world, if you flip your switch and lay a finger on my boy --”
“No one is going to lay a finger on anyone!” I say to both men.
