“Do you have a social media manager?” Quinn asked. “Because those are things that could be controlled.”
“I’m not on the internet anymore,” Dave said. “My lawyer hired someone to do all those things. And I’m really not dating anymore. I’ve taken a vow of celibacy,” he tried to joke. It wasn’t a joke, but they didn’t know that.
They didn’t laugh. Instead, they frowned in unison.
Dave shrugged. “I’ll have my lawyer look at it. He loves paperwork.”
Max did love paperwork. He lived for paperwork. If he could marry paperwork he would. And Dave was positive they would have a beautiful life together.
Meanwhile, paperwork made Dave break out into hives.
Figuratively speaking of course.
“May I ask, Mr. Hansen, why did you contact us?” Quinn asked. “There are numerous personal security firms throughout the nation that could provide you with similar protection.”
“Hannah Lee James,” Dave answered simply. “She told me that if I wanted something to be different, I was going to have to try something different. And then she gave me your card.”
Quinn exchanged a look with Alex.
Dave couldn’t read it, but they didn’t tear up the contract, so he counted that as a small win.

SABINE
“What are you going as for Halloween?”
Sabine looked up at Piper’s question. “Nothing.”
Piper screwed up her face in disgust. “Nothing?” she asked, like the word tasted bad.
Sabine shrugged. “I don’t really like Halloween.”
Piper reared back. “What?”
It didn’t bother Sabine that Piper was confused. She’d been blowing people’s minds with her disinterest in Halloween since the sixth grade.
“I’m going to require an explanation.” Piper crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair. Clearly taking advantage of the interruption in her studies.
“An explanation for what?” Dave asked, entering the room. He tossed the basketball he was carrying to Piper who caught it with ease.
It had been three weeks since he’d first walked into the studio’s lounge. Now, he was there almost every day that she was. She didn’t know if he was there on the days she wasn’t because she didn’t ask. But she thought he probably was.
But he hadn’t come back to Geekeasy since that first night. Though she’d signed up for extra VIP shifts just in case.
Not that she was trying to hang out with him. That wasn’t it. She wasn’t a friggin’ groupie.
But after getting to know him a little she just wanted to make sure that he didn’t get stuck with a server who might treat him…well, different than she would, she supposed.
Had she ever wanted to do that for any other VIPs?
Not that she could recall.
And that was why she didn’t say anything to Kara about it. Because Kara would have (valid) questions that Sabine just didn’t have answers for.
“For why she doesn’t like Halloween.”
