“I brought it up though.”

She stared at me. “Okay. Ace brought it up.”

“I knew it.”

I sat across from her. “Sisi, I’m sorry. Yesterday was supposed to be about you and Stephen. I hate that everything with Kel and Tiana spilled into your reception.”

“You didn’t make Tiana start yelling.”

“No, but—”

“And for the record, she left."

I frowned. "Left where."

He chuckled, "she left the resort. She checked out early this morning."

I tried to stifle my laugh but failed. "Well damn."

We all laughed as Sierra took another sip of her coffee before continuing, "apparently she told Kel she was done since he couldn't make his mind up."

I shrugged. All of that was above me now and if I was being honest I didn't care. Sierra glanced at me, "I'm surprised you have nothing to say."

"What you want me to say? Safe travels ho?"

Stephen choked on his drink before we all burst into laughter. "Kema," Sierra fussed, trying to fight back her giggles.

"What? I don't have anything nice to say about that bald headed girl."

Sierra shook her head before pointing to Ace. “And you. You couldn’t wait until after my reception to beat his ass?”

“He put his hand on Kema.”

“I know that, Ace. I’m asking why y’all had to roll across my dance floor. Y'all tore my shit up.”

“That part wasn’t planned.”

Stephen covered his mouth. Sierra cut her eyes at him. “And you stop encouraging this shit.”

“I didn’t say nothing.”

“Your face did.”

He picked up his coffee. “I’m sorry,” Ace said. “I should’ve handled it differently.”

“Yes, you should have.”

“But if somebody puts their hands on Kema again, I can’t promise I will.”

“Ace.”

“What? I’m being honest.”

Sierra shook her head. “At least you admit it.”

Ace pulled out his phone and slid it across the table. “We got y’all something.”

Sierra looked down. “What is this?”
