“Down where?”

“Skye’s the Limit! I’m showing you around today? So we can finalize logistics for the basketball tournament.”

The other half of the doughnut falls from Jordan’s hand. “I, uh—”

Nic glares at him. “Don’t you dare say you forgot.”

“I didn’t!”

She’s not convinced. “Jordan, you sent me a calendar reminder. You even sent one to my mom. I skippedbreakfastfor this.”

“It’s 10:30AM,” he points out.

“Don’t change the subject,” she says, clearly deflecting. “You forgot!”

Fuck, he did.

Jordan was so busy talking to a doughnut about Jamie, he didn’t bother to do his usual morning routine. Like checking his calendar. Verifying his appointments. He’s an asshole. Worst of all, he’s an asshole who failed Nic, the one member of his family who gets him in a way no one else does.

“I’m on my way, I promise,” he says, pushing his chair back.

“Uh-huh.”

“I’ll make it up to you. I’ll buy you lunch.”

“And breakfast,” Nic tells him with a heavy side-eye.

“Breakfast too,” he agrees, lifting his phone.

Jordan studies the mess the doughnut left on his desk. He wonders if he can persuade an intern to clean it up before he gets ants.

“Less talking, more walking,” Nic demands.

Fuck it. An army of ants is still less scary than a pissed-off Nicola Carter.

“Leaving now!”

Or Jordanwould. If he could. There’s currently a Javi-shaped demon waiting on the other side of his office door.

Nic hangs up. Jordan sighs before opening the door.

Javi smirks. “Going out?”

“Yes,” Jordan says through his teeth.

“Great. I’m coming.”

Jordan balks at him. “No, you’re not. It’s not wedding-related. Stay here and—”

“I know it’s not for Amy and Sam,” Javi interrupts, waving him off. “You’re meeting with your cousin Nic.” He flashes his phone screen. “It’s on the calendar you shared with me, remember?”

God, Jordan knew he’d regret that decision.

He was beingnice. Javi has been genuinely helpful with the wedding. Still as annoying as a wedgie you can’t yank out because you’re standing in line at a crowded coffee shop, but helpful.

Unfortunately, Jordan forgot to hide hispersonalappointments from Javi’s view. Things likemeeting with Nic.

Javi’s demonic grin grows. “I heard you talking to her.”
