Kane sits forward.

“What are you thinking?”

Drew points toward my secure device.

“Get in the chat.”

“No.”

“I want to talk to her.”

“Absolutely not.”

“Why?”

“Because I like her.”

Silence.

Again.

Drew puts his hand over his heart.

Vale glances toward Leo.

Leo gives a slow nod.

“Brilliant.”

I stare at him.

“You're supposed to stop this.”

“I've been married too long. I enjoy other people's problems now.”

Haverhill reaches toward me.

“Give me the device.”

“No.”

“I'm the groom.”

“That does not grant access to my encrypted systems.”

“It should.”

“It doesn't.”

Drew lunges. Alcohol has given him confidence without coordination plus he’s a freaking pro football player.

I catch his wrist—not bad on my part but the man is a literal tank.

He catches my jacket.

Vale grabs him around the waist, but I quickly realize he isn't helping me.

Haverhill starts laughing.
