I’ll pass. Being locked up for that once was enough, thanks.

Her cheeks redden even more as she hugs her arms across her thin body. It’s not cold. It’s Miami for Christ’s sake, but to be fair, she’s wearing a condom held together by dental floss. I honestly don’t give a shit about this girl, but she just provided a vital piece of information I didn’t have until now.

Plus, she rolled out the red carpet. I’d be an idiot not to walk on it.

Taking off my jacket, I drape it over her shoulders. “Here, wear this.”

“Wow, romantic and chivalrous. Ava really is a lucky girl.”

“I’m lucky to have found her again. I can’t tell you how much pain losing her caused me.” I fake a smile, hoping it doesn’t look like I’m baring a set of fangs.

“You two are adorable.” She sighs, working her arms through the sleeves of my jacket.

“Ready?” For a split second, I stare at her and hesitate. All I see are a thin set of gangly legs and an innocent face wrapped in blood-soaked leather. There’s nothing sexual about her. In fact, she reminds me of Ava when I first met her—all knees and elbows. It’s her face that holds my attention. It’s trusting. She’ll buy whatever bullshit I sell her as long as I cap it off with a smile. Sometimes sincerity is the most dangerous weapon.

“You have to surprise her when we get there,” she announces, clapping her hands together in excitement. “She’s going to die!”

Pressing my hand against her lower back, I lead her across the parking lot toward the Audi.

“Rose, you have no idea.”

But unfortunately, you will.

I never leave witnesses.
