Chapter Seven

Enzo

e couldn’t get the sight of Keir kissing Aibhlinn out of his mind. She’d been shocked—he could tell by the way her eyes went round—but she didn’t push him away.

He speared his fingers through his hair. I did this. He was making progress in counseling. They were bringing the darkest parts of his soul to the light, and he was trying to let go. It was a process he couldn’t rush.

Doc had told him that over and over. She thought he was making good progress, but it felt like he was moving at a snail’s pace. Because I left it too long.

“Okay, I’m just going to ask what everyone else is thinking. Who the hell was that?” Rhys said.

“That was Keir, some Irish bloke that works with her mother at the gallery. Apparently, he’s the son of her mother’s best friend back in the day.”

“And they’re dating?” Silas asked.

“I don’t know. She’s never mentioned it to me. I knew she’d been showing him around town.”

“More than that…it looks like,” Rhys said.

Enzo glared at him.

“For once in your life, stop stirring up shit,” Silas snapped.

“What? He waited too long, and now she’s moved on,” Rhys remarked.

“You’d love that, wouldn’t you?” Enzo growled.

Rhys shrugged. “Not really. But it’s time you both stopped fucking around.”

“You know nothing about what we do.” Enzo took a step toward his baby brother, ready to silence his mouth with his fist.

“To your corner, boys,” Noah barked.

They turned to find the older man leaning against the doorframe. “Want to tell me what I missed that has you two ready to throw down?” Noah asked, talking around the ever-present toothpick that dangled out of the side of his mouth.

“Touchy topic. We ran into Aibhlinn last night, and she was in mid-kiss with someone else,” Silas explained.

Noah grunted. “Should’ve jumped on that a long time ago, boy. I told you how I felt about that.”

Enzo scowled. He didn’t need scolding. He wasn’t a child. He got that he’d screwed up.

“Way I figure it, you got two choices. Get your ass in gear and fight for her, or let her go, and get over it. Only you can make that decision. In the meantime, we’re here for a shop meeting, so let’s shelve the domestic shit.”

Enzo stood down, clenching his jaw as he gave a quick nod. Now wasn’t the time or place.

“Let’s talk numbers, Silas,” Noah stated as they all took seats in the office.

“We’re doing excellent. This is double what we made this time last year. Our books are full of appointments, and the investment in advertising is clearly working,” Silas said.

“What’s our gross for this month?” Noah inquired.

“We’re on track to make about thirty grand this month,” Silas replied.

“Damn, nothing to shake a stick at.” Noah ran his finger over his beard.

“Where do you think we could improve to bring in more business?” Enzo asked. They had steady business, but he wanted them packed. He wanted to hire new artists, possibly start some apprenticeships, and that would take more income.
