“So, this is why you were perfect,” Gail said as she sat at her tiny dining set for two. Across the table, Javier sipped one of his smoothies before handing her his phone. She scrolled through an archived newsfeed story on a warehouse fire in the Navarte District of Mexico City. “You’re running from the mob, too?”

“I’m running from family, same as you. I was presumed dead in the fire, and I began an honest life here in Texas, same as you. I wanted an honest, simple life, same. . . as . . . you.”

“Well, shit,” she said between nibbles of her frozen dinner. “I don’t even know if our families are allies or we are acting out a modern gangster version of Romeo and Juliet here. I guess Mexico City and Boston are far enough apart that they probably never interact.”

“Sí.”

“Anything else I should know, Javier?”

“There is a lot for you to know about me, when the time is right, mi amor. I promise that I will tell you everything, but give it time. How do I know that you aren’t some siren here to lure me into the open so my aunt can finish what she started?”

“Me? A siren?” Gail said. “I couldn’t seduce anyone.”

“You seduced me.”

“How do I know you aren’t here to seduce me?” Gail asked. “I mean, you’re so adorable.”

Javier raised a brow. “Adorable? I’m a one-legged janitor who is as skinny as a little girl and has hair like a cartoon stoner. You are the one with the big eyes, perky bosom, and the pouty lips. If anyone is the seductress, it is you!”

“But you have the guitar and the magical fingers, not to mention the accent that makes any woman swoon, so I rebut that the vile temptation must be you. I have no hips and hobbit feet anyway, and my boobs aren’t perky, they are virtually non-existent!”

“Are we really having an argument about how sexy we find each other? I mean, to see if our families that we clearly want nothing to do with are sending us randomly to Texas to kill each other? If so, this would be an excellent plot to a novella.”

“Then you would have to be the vampire out to seduce the one girl who reminds him of his lost love.”

“Oh, sí, but I know for a fact that you are not a blushing virgin, mi amor. Several times over, I might add.”

“I don’t know if I want to slap you or kiss you, Javier.”

“Both, please,” he said with a wicked grin. “After all, I know you are a bad girl, and you know that I have been a very bad boy.”
