“Lydia, this is Dana Madison. A client,” he muttered.

Lydia’s laughter was clear and musical. “Of course she is, mi hijo.” She pinched his cheek. “Now you will eat everything on this plate,” she told him. She turned to Dana. “And so will you.” She stepped closer. Her smile was gentle as she tipped Dana’s chin up to better study her. “Mac will make things right for you. When that happens, your eyes will light up like the stars in the sky. And smiles will be easier for you. Mac is a good boy. A little stubborn, perhaps.” She waved her hand back and forth. “But I think you can deal with that. Now eat before it gets cold. If you eat all your food, I will bring you flan.”

“Best damn flan in the country,” Mac complimented. “Ow!” He rubbed the back of his head where Lydia had smacked him.

“What have I told you about your language?” she scolded before walking back to the kitchen.

Dana ducked her head as she picked up one of the carnitas. Her lips tipped upward as she pretended to concentrate on her food.

“Do not laugh,” Mac ordered under his breath.

His scowl did nothing to intimidate her. Her shoulders trembled with suppressed giggles.

“First I get beat up, then I get laughed at,” he muttered.

“Big tough private detective.”

At least, that was what he thought she said. He wasn’t about to ask her to repeat it. He settled for spooning fiery salsa on one of the carnitas and crunching down on the spicy food.

Lydia was right. He’d never brought a woman here. Maybe because he felt the Esteban family was the family he never had. If he’d brought a woman to the restaurant before, Lydia would have been ready to plan a wedding. Why he’d brought Dana here, he wasn’t sure. Part of him said he was proving that when this was all over he wouldn’t be able to just walk away from her. He wouldn’t be able to leave her.

Just as Manny’s family hadn’t walked away from him or blamed him for Manny’s death. As he’d blamed himself.

“I won’t have a stomach lining after all this.” She waved her hand in front of her open mouth. “There’s steam coming out, isn’t there?”

Mac grinned. “More like fire.”
