“Can’t look at you?”

“Not like that.”

He leaned back in his chair. “How I’m looking at you?”

“Like you plotting.”

“I’m always plotting.”

“Exactly.”

He laughed.

I picked up my wineglass. He’d ordered the whole bottle because apparently one glass wasn’t enough for his plans tonight.

“So how’s Lorna?” I asked before taking a sip.

“What?”

“Why we talking about Lorna?”

“You fucked her.”

“And lost you behind it. Clearly I know I fucked up.”

“Mhm.”

“Clearly you still mad too.”

“I’m not mad.”

“You’re definitely mad.”
