âEli, Iâm glad you scored this trip for us, because with the gala canceled, the timing couldnât be better. And because Jasmine is about twenty-five years overdue for her first real vacation,â Jake said.
âWe had such a good childhood. It showed us again how lucky we were. Itâs not guilt even. Itâs just this sinking feeling of how wrong that is, for her mom to struggle like that with two kids,â I said.
âAnd no dad to step in and make sure that they had what they needed. Itâs bullshit. I never wanted to start a nonprofit in my life before today. Right now, Iâd sign off on a charity where decent guys contribute to a monetary fund that women with deadbeat exes could draw from to pay for what they need, and in exchange, all that they have to do is give us his full legal name and weâd take it from there,â I said, resisting the urge to crack my knuckles.
âI donât think thatâs what charities do. I mean, the ones Iâve donated to are more on the side of benefiting the needy and less about extorting identifying information from them so you can perform vigilante acts of violence,â Eli said wryly.
âThen this is a better business model for a charity. Everyone gets what they deserve this way. Iâd get pure personal satisfaction from being karmaâs delivery boy,â I said victoriously.
âThatâs a hit man, dude. Not a charity. Thatâs a civic minded hit man.â
âExactly. Like Robin Hood, but homicidal,â I said with a harsh laugh. âIt scared the shit out of me the way I reacted to her ex. I saw that motherfucker in the car outside here and all I could think was that if I ended him now, he wouldnât ever lay a hand on anyone again.â
âYou wanted to do crimes,â Jake chuckled.
âI did. I canât seem to stop thinking about it. Iâve never wanted to break the law before. Iâm not that kind of guy, the type that thinks I can do whatever I want, no repercussions. Tell me why I went psycho on this dirtbag. I donât like losing control.â
âYou? Donât like losing control?â Jake said sarcastically.
âSays the man with the app that shows where we are at all times? Control freak much?â I shot back. âThat is nothing more than the pot calling the kettle black right there.â
âHey, before we get in argument about which one of you is the bigger control freak, can we focus? I think your question is, why did you lose it and also how can you keep that from happening again, right?â Eli said.
I nodded and went ahead and dropped my head in my hands, elbows propped on my knees.
âYouâre crazy about her. Thatâs why. We all are. You grabbed him and roughed him up, threatened his life. I understand how thatâs freaking you out. I wish I could say that I wouldâve responded rationally in your shoes, but I donât trust myself to claim that. When I thought
