He nods his chin at her. “Would you believe me if I said I was here for you?”

Jonah and I trade looks.

Parks smirks. “I would not.”

Jack-Jack Cavan laughs then nods coolly. “The Burberry shoot…”

“Oh!” She nods. “Of course. I forgot. How was it?”

“Good, yeah—” He shrugs. “Would have been better if you were in it…”

She rolls her eyes. “That would have been both inappropriate and misleading.”

“They were asking for you,” he tells her and she rolls them again.

“Yes, well.” She rolls her eyes for a third time. “Instagram has ruined the modelling industry now, so—” (I’m pretty sure that was a dig at me.)

“Oh fuck.” Jack-Jack sighs. “Not this Ted Talk again.”

I frown. How many Ted Talks has she given him?

“So, listen—” He reaches for her hand. She lets him. And here’s the fucking kicker — he interlocks his fingers with hers. Interlocks! “I’m staying at the Lanesborough til tomorrow night. Can I bring you to my hotel? Give you a bunch of reasons to come back to New York with me?”

I nearly scoff out loud, maybe I do a bit and I don’t realise, because Jordan’s watching me real close.

But the fucking stones on this guy. Asking Magnolia fucking Parks to come with him somewhere for sex.

And then she grabs her purse — pretty sure I bought it for her. Dolce & Gabbana. Red. It has a heart on it.

She gives him a playful look. “You can try.”

“Oh, I’m going to try a lot.” He nods coolly.

“Yeah?” She looks up at him batting her eyes. “How hard?”

Jonah chokes on his wine. My mouth actually falls open.

He licks his bottom lip, grins at her as he hooks his arm around her neck how I used to.

“Hard as you want, London.”

She laughs and looks back, catching the eyes of everyone except me. “See you later.”

They’re about to walk away when he looks at me and, without letting go of Parks, leans down to me, offering his hand.

“BJ, right?” I shake his hand, say nothing. “Heard a lot about you, man. It’s good to put a face to it.”

He gives me a little wink and then walks her out of the restaurant, feeling her up as they go.

She’s laughing and squirming and swatting him off and loving it.

We all stare after her.

“So.”

“So.” Jonah blinks. “I guess someone’s discovered sex.”
