Drew looks offended.

“Fine. You translate. We dictate.”

“Also no.”

Vale raises his Scotch.

“I vote yes.”

Leo nods.

“Seconded.”

Traitors.

Haverhill smiles.

“Tell her the groom wants to talk.”

“No.”

“Kane,” Drew goads, “invite her.”

I look at him.

“To what?”

“My wedding,” Kane grins.

“No.”
