GIORGIO

Idon’t know what is happening, but my sister and Paige are currently dancing on the coffee table to the Spice Girls. I think it might be time to cut them off from the tequila. My phone buzzes in my pocket, and I see it’s Smith, again.

“Hello,” I say, answering the phone.

“Are you having a party?” Smith asks.

“Hold on,” I tell him as I flick the phone to video and show him what is currently happening in my living room.

“What the hell are they doing?”

“Letting go, I think the words were,” I explain to him, getting up off the sofa and moving away from the chaos.

“They sure are doing that.” He chuckles. “Is Paige okay?”

“Somehow, I think this little venture with tequila and the Spice Girls might be helping.”

“Guess she needed to let loose in a safe place. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her laugh like that, she looks happy,” he confesses to me.

I look over at the two of them and he’s right; the dark cloud around her seems to have shifted.

“Any news on that asshole ex?” I ask him.

He lets out a sigh. “He must know where the security cameras are near my place because he avoided them all. It’s her word against his. I sent one of my boys down to the restaurant to investigate, and he had an alibi, a staff member said she was with him.”

What a fucker.

“I’m assuming it’s the same staff member Paige caught him fucking.”

“Yeah, probably, but without evidence there is nothing I can do to put him behind bars,” he explains before giving a frustrated huff.

“What do you need from me? I can go down and rough him up. I have a diplomatic passport so⁠—”

Smith bursts out laughing. “You didn’t just say that to an NYPD detective.”

“No, I said it to the older brother of Paige Johnson.”

Smith’s eyes widen, and then a full-blown smile falls across his face. “You never heard this from me …”

“Enough said,” I tell him.

He gives me a knowing nod.

“I’ll bring her back to your place once she’s finished,” I tell him.

“If she’s not in a good way, is it okay if she can crash? She’s a lightweight,” he explains.

“Of course, I have a spare bedroom already set up. And she can borrow some of Nat’s clothes.”

“Thanks, Gio. I appreciate that you’ve been a great friend to her through all this,” he says, giving me praise.

“She’s done the same to me too. Thankfully, my ex is too busy taking selfies to be stalking me.”

Smith nods in acknowledgment. “How are you doing, really?”

“Just waiting for the public announcement, it feels like once that is out there, I’m free. At the moment I’m still in limbo.”

“Guess a couple more weeks in the grand scheme isn’t that long,” he adds with a shrug.

It’s true. It could be worse, much worse, I think as I look over at Paige.

“I’ll let you go. The girls seem to have gotten louder, I didn’t think that was possible, so good luck with all that,” Smith jokes, then hangs up the phone.
