CHAPTER ELEVEN

Sylvie

“And that’s my cue to leave,” Voss said, slapping his legs as he moved to stand. “Go easy on her. It was her first day back to work,” he said to the girls.

“We’re not here to torture her,” Vi said, rolling her eyes as she moved in.

“And we brought snacks,” Layna, the other woman I’d briefly met the night of my attack declared, holding up what looked to be pastry boxes.

“Fallon and Malc know you’re raiding the diner?” Voss asked with a smirk.

“Seeing as Holly was the one to give it all to us, yes,” Layna said, rolling her eyes.

“You’re light tonight,” Voss said, looking around at the women.

I knew Vi and Layna by sight.

But if I had to guess, the pretty blonde in the back was probably Gracie. They’d told me she was sort of beachy and preppy, which fit the girl with the golden tan, big smile, cut-off jeans and happy yellow tank top.

Next to her on one side was a woman with somewhat darker skin, a gorgeous face, glasses, and her curly hair pulled up into a clip.

Luna, judging by the fact that she had a book and what seemed to be an e-reader tucked under her arm.

On Gracie’s other side was a tall, elegant woman in gray slacks and a white blouse, with similar golden-toned skin like Luna, but lighter hair.

Voss had mentioned some “boss chick” named Willa. I figured she seemed to fit the bill.

“Well, Billie, Danny, Holly, Andi, and Lou are all lame old ladies home with their annoyingly perfect for them husbands,” Layna declared. “Kit and Ariah will be dropping in after they finish filming.”

“Hope working?” Voss asked.

If I hadn’t been looking, I might have missed the way a smile tugged at both Luna’s and Vi’s faces before they banked them down.

“Yes, working,” Vi lied, and I was curious if they would give me the scoop, if they were keeping some girl secret for their friend.

“Alright. I’m gonna go have a drink with the guys at Redemption,” Voss said. “I’ll be back in an hour or two.”

With that, he was gone.

As ridiculous as it was, I swear I felt a little pang. Like I was going to, you know, miss him.

That was so foreign to me that I almost wanted to laugh at the very idea. I mean, I’d never missed a boyfriend, not even after getting dumped unceremoniously.

“What do we have here?” Sully’s voice called, coming in from the prospect room in a yellow Hawaiian shirt with big green palm fronds all over it. “A girls night?” he asked, clapping his hands, then rubbing them together.

“Yes. And you’re not a girl,” Vi reminded him, but it was clear from the warmth in her eyes that she was totally going to let him join.

“He enjoys shitty rom-coms, if that helps any,” I supplied.

“I take objection to that. Only some of them are shitty,” he declared, smiling that boyish smile of his that had both Gracie and Luna watching him with curious eyes.

“This is Gracie and Luna.
