“Babe.” I cautiously look around, the bodyguards in position standing at a certain distance away from me.

“Hey, babe!” Carmella says from the other end of the line and she sounds so enthusiastic that I rub my temples while shaking my head.

“What’s up?” Though I pretend not to know. I know exactly why she’s calling,
