THE next morning, Griff left his dad’s house without eating. He was serious about moving before the holidays, and it was after Columbus Day.

Loretta Anastagio had made a couple appointments to look at rentals with him. Before the baby was born, she’d studied for her real estate license and sold a few houses.

Griff had called her and asked for help getting the hell out of his father’s basement. He knew what he wanted—nothing fancy, just a place he could afford with the jobs he had that was close enough to his life so he wouldn’t waste half his days commuting.

He wanted something clean, near his two families, and within a half hour of the firehouse and bar by car or subway. She’d tried to force him to get more specific, but he didn’t care and his rules were simple: no roommates, no matter how nice; no studios, no matter how cushy; nothing on Staten Island, no matter how cheap.

Simple, right? Apparently not. Loretta tried to negotiate even those slight requests, but he’d held firm. Griff knew exactly what he could put up with day to day.

Sighing, she’d made ominous predictions about impossible rents, and Griff had just told her to dig around. New York real estate was always a radioactive shark tank. Griff just needed to see some options.

Reluctantly, she’d agreed to look after she’d dropped Nicole at kindergarten. He would meet Loretta there and drop her off in time to pick up her daughter at noon.

As he drove to the school, Griff checked his phone. Just a voice mail from Alek letting him know that he’d put Tommy in a cab as instructed. Translation: “I didn’t ass-pound your drunk friend with my large Russian penis last night.”

Griff wondered if there was a way to scare Tommy enough to make him avoid Alek altogether.

He thought about calling Tommy’s number to make sure he’d made it home safely, but thought better of the idea. They weren’t exactly friends, and it sounded like things were already tense in the Dobsky house. Last thing Griff wanted to do was complicate a bad situation by sticking his beak in.

Mind your own dumb business.

After he’d parallel parked in front of the brightly-painted windows, he looked for Loretta, but she was nowhere to be found. Griff looked down at his cellphone. Had he forgotten to check his messages? Nope. Nothing there from Loretta.

“Morning!” a warm baritone called from across the street. Dante ambled toward him with a cup of coffee and a butter-stained paper bag in one hand and a child’s carseat in the other. A van slowed down to let him pass. “Got you danish.”

After his accident, Dante had gone on leave with his mild concussion. It had only been a week since he’d cracked his head open and almost burnt alive. He looked more handsome than ever. Apparently, near-death agreed with him.

Griff tilted his head in confusion. “I’m supposed to meet your sister.”

“And I’m chopped liver?” Dante handed him the coffee.

“No. I just….” Griff accepted the bakery bag.
