“Hey. How long were we playing?” Ivy asked Gabe.
“Couple of hours.”
“Hi guys,” Ivy said. “Saw some of your suspension scene.”
“It’s not a suspension scene. It’s a ‘Clara is freaking out scene.’”
“We’ll get it,” Logan said. “Just need to practice.”
Clara frowned. “If you say so. I should call it a night.”
“Let me know how your date goes on Tuesday. He better be good to you.” Logan kissed his rope bunny, and Clara smiled. “I’ll call you, and you.” Clara squeezed Ivy’s arm.
“Text me when you get home, darling,” Logan said.
“Sorry I didn’t catch up.”
Clara flashed her a smile. “It’s okay. You look so blissed out. I hope you had a pleasant scene.”
“I did.”
Ivy hugged her goodbye and then sat beside Gabe, leaning her head against his shoulder.
“So, what’s your week looking like?” Gabe asked Logan.
“Going to take Hana to Vancouver Island on Friday,” Logan said. “You?”
“I’m going on a gig for a private contractor.”
Logan raised his eyebrows. “Hope you’re not leaving Axis Management, Doc.”
“No, need something to fill the time.”
Ivy lifted her head from his shoulder. This was the first she had heard of Gabe taking on work from a private contractor.
“Some of those outfits are nasty. You make sure they’re legit,” Logan said.
“Yeah. My brother got me this one. It’s called Ribbon of Aid.”
“An NGO?”
“Yeah.”
Logan shrugged. “As long as it checks out. But I have the feeling we’re going to be busy on Team Stealth soon.”
“Yeah, but until it’s more than a feeling, I got to do something. I’m going stir crazy waiting at home.”
“I hear you. Let’s get out of here,” Logan said.
Gabe nodded and held out his hand to Ivy, holding him up. Ivy bit her lip, knowing she had heard the name of the NGO before. Still feeling blissed out from the scene, she couldn’t place where.
“You okay, Princess?”
“Just tired.” Ivy smiled at Gabe. He slipped his hand in hers, and they followed Logan, exiting Club Bandit.
