"Hello, everyone."
"Hey, Mr. Stevenson!" Kate waves.
Everyone says hello and congratulates me on the win. Sweet little Kate describes their flight in great detail and how lovely it was to fly first class.
"And we had mimosas for free," she says. "And a nice chicken sandwich."
"I'm glad you liked it, Kate."
I notice that both Sabrina and Jason are a little quiet, but I leave it alone for now.
"I thought you guys could get cleaned up at the hotel and then we can go to dinner and maybe to this karaoke bar next door," I say.
Something I had Brad arrange when I thought it was going to be some of Sabrina's college friends. I was going to win them over with good food then some of my bad singing.
"Can't wait," her friend Marisol says.
"Thanks, Saint." Is all Sabrina manages to say. It's bugging me how quiet she's being.
"You're welcome."
Jason looks silently between us with a sullen look. I wonder what that look is all about.
"You coming, Jase?" I blurt out.
"Wouldn't miss it," he counters.
Chapter Twenty-One
SAINT
On the way to the hotel ...
Jason: By the way, I met a friend of yours.
Saint: How'd you get my private number?
Jason: It's in the file at work.
Saint: What friend?
Jason: Her name is Adrianna
Saint: Why are you talking to her?
Jason: She's a friend of a friend.
Saint: Well she's no friend of mine.
Jason: That's not the story she's going to tell Sabrina.
Saint: I haven't seen that bitch in years.
Jason: She says differently. So Sabrina's off limits to you. You picked the wrong girl to play games with. Go find another.
Saint: You're about three years too late, asshole.
