“Anyway, enough about me and my love life. What’s new with you?”

Erica launches into a story about work and how people suck, making me smile.

It’s nice. I didn’t realize how much I was missing my best friend or how much I needed the one-on-one time.

As much as I love spending time with Tank, sometimes a girl just needs to spend time with her bestie.

Right as I finish the pool game with Jagger, Fox, and Taz, I pull out my phone and check the time.

She should be home.

Quickly, I shoot her off a text as I sidle up next to the bar.

“What can I get you?” Prospect one asks.

“Can I get a Yuengling, please?”

His eyebrows rise at the word “please,” but he grabs me a bottle and slides it over.

I nod my head in thanks and shoot off a couple more texts to my girl. Even though I’m just texting her, I can’t help but smile.

“You look happy,” Kelly says.

“I am.”

“Hey, sorry I’m late. What did I miss?” Jane says as she walks over to us.

Kelly laughs lightly. “You didn’t miss anything.”

As they chat back and forth, I look back at my phone. I pause, beer halfway to my mouth.

What the fuck?

Confusion fills me as I read her last text.

“You okay?” Kelly asks.

“Yeah,” I mutter, not looking away from my phone.

The flowers are so pretty. Thank you for sending them to me. You didn’t have to, but it was a nice surprise.

Flowers? What fucking flowers?

My fingers move to text her back, but before I can, a whistle cuts through the air. All eyes move to a pissed-off Smoke and an even angrier-looking Crow.

“Church. Now,” Smoke demands.

Standing, I shove my phone into my pocket, and I move. I can text my girl back later.

When the last brother enters, the door is slammed shut behind us.

“What’s wrong?” Gunner asks, cutting to the chase.

He’s standing next to his seat, arms crossed, legs wide.
