At the party, we're greeted warmly by everyone who seem to be more eager than normal that I've returned. It was slightly longer than I expected. I haven't been away that long in a while. And while in the past it didn't bother me, the idea of being away from Haven that long again creates an unexplained ache in my chest.

Striker and Dad seem to be having a conversation over a drink by the fireplace, the familiar golden brown color occupying their glasses. Doug and Felix seem to be laughing over a similar drink closer to the bar. Mindy is fussing over everyone making sure they have something to eat. The gathering seems well under way proving once more; I could've had Haven quickly before we came over. Maybe against the wall? Or over the edge of the couch? My body threatens to respond to the thoughts.

“Mandy's calling,” Haven says sweetly, just steps into the living room. “I'll be right back. She probably got lost. She always makes at least one wrong turn.”

I nod and slide my hands in my jeans pockets. My eyes follow the movement of her hips until she's out of sight, which is when I turn around to take in the scene. This is my family. Eating. Enjoying each other's company. Making life seem as marvelous as it really it is. God, it feels good to be home. Words I never thought I'd think.

“Hey Clint,” Leighyani's voice pops in my ear. Slowly turning my body to face her, I notice her attire is screaming for attention. Glad some things never change. The dress is bright red. Strapless. Short. So tight it looks painted on. How does Striker let her leave the house looking like this? She's always so under dressed that if I cared about her more than I do, I'd be inclined to offer my jacket or at least remind her that she looks for sale.

“Leighyani.”

Her tongue wets her lips. “Good to see you made it home in one piece.”

“Good to be home.”

She offers a faint smile and fiddles with the wine glass in her hand. “Look, I just wanted to say I hope there are no hard feelings between us.”

“For making my girlfriend's life a living nightmare or for sleeping with my best friend?”

She looks taken off guard. “I didn't sleep with Glove.” Before I can respond she shakes her head. “About Haven. I realized I never actually apologized to you for anything. While you were away, I managed to muster up the courage to talk to Haven--”

Fury shoots through my veins like it was injected with a needle, “You were alone with my girlfriend?”

“I--”

“Are you fucking kidding me?”

“I--”

“Leighyani, if you laid a finger on her--”

“Will you just calm the fuck down for a minute,” her free hand raises. I shut my mouth and allow her a minute compose her as I try to calm down as well. “God, you're so fucking intense when it comes to her, you know that?”

A short shoulder shrug escapes me.
