A club, Sully?
Enzo
I’m busy that night.
Sully
No, you’re not.
Sully
Yes, a club.
Sully
Lu-Lu is turning 38, not 83.
What?
I’m turning 35.
Sully
Close enough.
Sly
Are the women invited?
Nixon
Can’t forget about the ol’ ball and chain.
What did I tell you about calling my sister a ball and chain?
Sully
Of course. What kind of party would it be without Raina there? I’m sure Lu-Lu wants her there.
Sully
And Cecilia.
Nice save, asshole.
Nixon
Can I bring a date?
Beside me, Raina stirs, but doesn’t wake. We have two hours before we touch down at LaGuardia, and I hope she sleeps through the landing.
My eyes burn from lack of sleep, but I’m finding it difficult to fully rest when Raina’s here, naked, and in my arms. The only thing my mind can do is replay the last ten plus years of knowing her on a loop, wondering how I denied us both for so long.
It was easy to refuse her when she and Vinnie first became friends, but these last few years?
My actions are inexcusable.
Sully
