I walked into the kitchen of Nesto’s restaurant, completely certain the conversation was going to revolve around me and Easton. It’s not like I hadn’t gotten a warning; he’d texted me last night after he left the penthouse, telling me to be ready for questions. I was feeling so fucking good after last night that I might just answer them too. Easton filled places in me that I didn’t even know were empty, and now that I’d let myself actually feel that I was loathe to let it go without a fight.

Before I left this morning we’d talked about his meeting with the sheriff’s department. I didn’t push him on what he would say; after all, Easton’s job was his job. So I’d wished him good luck on the trial preparations and went on my way.

Now I was here, certain that Nesto would not be happy until I spilled my guts about what I’d been doing at Easton’s last night. But I wanted check in about Ari and talk about the fundraiser a little more, so Nesto would have to deal. I tried to focus on where I was going and said hello to Nesto’s staff as I passed. I noticed Yin was standing by a ton of boxes, checking something off from a clipboard.

“Yin.”

He turned around and pushed up to give me a double kiss on the cheeks. I smiled as I obliged, thinking he must’ve picked that up from Ari. “How’s our boy doing?”

“He’s running some errands for Nesto, but he’s doing better. Talking to you really helped.”

Funny, because during that talk, the one that had dropped life-altering knowledge had definitely not been me.

Yin, looked more relaxed though, so it seemed we’d all been able to move past the scare and stress from Saturday. He lifted his pen to the doors that led to the dining area, without me having to ask. “The boss is out there.”

I nodded in the direction he pointed and saw Nesto sitting at a table working on his computer. As soon as he saw me, he stood to give me dap.

“What’s good, P?” The mischievous smile on his face told me I was not getting away with not talking about Easton. “You looking fly, man. Relaxed.”

He snapped that last word. This motherfucker really thought he was hilarious.

“You’re a lot less funny than you think you are,” I said, somehow managing to keep a straight face as I pulled a chair to sit across from him. “If you must know. I am feeling pretty good considering how fucking stressful shit got this weekend.”

Nesto’s expression sobered as soon as I said that. He rubbed his hand over his face before he answered. “Tell me about it, man. I swear I’m this close from getting in my truck and moving Ari out that fucking house. His uncle is up his ass constantly.”

I sighed, feeling tired already. “Easton got in touch with his friend who does immigration law and the guy got back to him last night. Ari told me I could give Easton the case details.
