We have been sitting at Azure for the past hour. Deno is laughing, Kylie is going on about Vincent.

“How is it that he leaves you more pissed off than when he leaves Marco? And those two can fight,” Deno muses.

Curiosity gets the better of me and I turn my head.

“Speak of the Devil.” I sneer seeing a man I hoped to not lay eyes on today.

Deno finds me amusing as he stands up. He has removed his jacket and pulled up his sleeves since our 2nd shooter. His hair is still sleek and his jaw clean-shaven. His prominent nose, showing his strong Italian heritage.
