Though he couldn’t see it, I shook my head at myself. I was talking nonsensically, but thatbread.
It floored me.
It was a token of peace because Aoife knew I adored her bread.
But why had she gone to the Victoria?
Maybe it really was to go to the spa and I was just being paranoid.
“Finn? You there? She’s in a hotel? Which hotel? Don’t you know? Did I hear you right?”
“I’m here, but I have to go, Aidan.”
“You sound weird, brother.”
I felt weird.
“I can get my crew onto finding her,” he was saying, making me realize I had to speak out before I had the Five Points roaming the city for a lost wife who wasn’t lost.
“No. It’s all right. I-I need to go, Aidan.”
“I’m here if you need me, Finn.”
His words settled in my chest. “I know you are.”
“Always.”
“I know. And it works both ways.”
I cut the call because I needed to text Braden.
Except I saw that he’d already messaged while I was on the phone.
Braden:Finn, we have a problem.
Me:What is it?
Braden:I swear, we all thought she was going to the spa, Finn.
I goddamn knew it.
So what the fuck was the bread about?
Me:She checked in?
Braden:She did.
Me:Wait for me in the reception with the key. I’m coming over now.
I returned to my car empty-handed and drove like a crazy person toward the Victoria. It was only around the block from my office building, and the traffic hadn’t abated since leaving earlier.
When I made it to the hotel, I paid for valet parking, and as I headed into the reception, I found Braden waiting on me.
“Sorry about this, boss,” he muttered, shuffling from one foot to the other.
That he called me ‘boss’ told me he knew he’d fucked up by letting Aoife check into a goddamn hotel under the guise of going for a ‘spa day.’
“Which suite is she in?”
