"And you do?!"
"Aidan’s got his quirks."
"No way he’s a fucking Dom."
"I never said he was! I’m just saying that there’s more nuance to that kind of relationship than a scorching hot kiss outside a sex club." Before we could get into an argument, I asked, "What were you doing at Queens of Heart, anyway?" I tried to keep my tone light. The last thing I needed was to make this into a competition between us.
"Nothing fun, sadly," she drawled, which perked me up to no end. "I was just stopping by Aoife's for some hibiscus tea and that new Bundt cake of hers—have you tried it yet?"
"No." My ears pricked up. "Like boring Bundt?"
"Nah. When does Aoife make anything boring?"
"True. I need to try that."
"You do," she agreed. "Whatever, I was heading home—have you noticed the police blockades have finally gone, by the way?"
The capture of the First Lady’s murderer had been all over the news…
"Yeah, thank God. They were a major pain in the ass," was all I said to that. I shared a lot with her, had even told her about the kidnapping, but I didn’t want to fuck up Aidan’s plans.
"They were. Anyway, that was when I saw them. It had to be, like, an afternoon quickie or something. They were kissing and pulling away then went back to kissing. It was pretty sweet. If anything about that viper could be considered sweet."
"Does it matter?"
"Not really. I just... She's such a cunt."
I burst out laughing. "Does it make it better you knowing that about her?"
"Maybe. Fucking bitch."
"What has she done now?"
She huffed. "Nothing in particular. She just looks at me and I feel like a piece of crap."
"I think you're projecting."
"I doubt it."
"I don't. Luciu wouldn't allow her to get away with that. He's too protective."
A sigh whistled in my ear. "True."
"Maybe she doesn't know how to get close to you. It's not like her life has been easy the past couple years, is it?"
"Stop being logical. And rational."
"Let me guess, Aoife told you the same thing?" I tried not to be petty, but… Who was I trying to kid? I was no angel.
"No. I haven't spoken about this with her."
That petty part of me preened that she’d come to me about this first.
"Why not?" I asked as I watched Declan, Shay, Brennan, and Eoghan start bouncing a basketball and shooting hoops.
Attention pricked when Aidan walked onto the court too, I released a soft groan when he took off his jacket and snagged the ball out of Eoghan's hands.
"Savannah? Are you even listening to me?"
