“Hey, it’s soccer. What do you want from me?” Savannah mocked, throwing Star’s words back at her.
“To pick a capital city and stick with it.”
I smirked into my coffee cup. “He plays for a team in Berlin.”
“This is your master plan, isn’t it?” Savannah queried.
“It is, but I’m mostly dealing with statistics. Thank God. I’m leaving the meetings to my brothers. I have to get some perks from time to time.”
When our doorbell rang, I flicked to the app on my phone to see who was there and arched a brow when I found Eoghan hovering in front of the camera—glower fixed firmly in place.
“What do you want?” I questioned, though I knew his exact reason for being here. Didn't stop me from giving him shit: “You’re taking this Peaky Blinders thing too far.”
Eoghan grunted. “You gonna let me in or do I have to buzz Aidan?”
“Let him up, Conor. Don’t forget Troy and Dead To Me are on their way too. Chadwick as well.”
“The guy who’s Aurora Valentini’s guard?”
“Yeah, him.”
Savannah sniffed. “I don’t like her.”
“She’s ultra-intelligent and doesn’t bullshit. I like her.”
“She and Jen have only just started getting along.”
“And?”
“How are Jen and Paddy doing?” I queried, sensing another brewing argument. “Paddy’s been AWOL from Sunday dinner the past few weeks.”
“Been visiting with her. As far as I can tell, they’re doing good. Paddy loves Saverina. It’s a relief, to be honest, considering I set them up to meet. I thought I was going to blow shit with Jen again, but I didn’t. Thank fuck.”
“Ah, yes. Star told me about that mess.”
“You told him?” Savannah groused.
“You never said it was a secret,” Star retorted easily, uncaring if Savannah was pissed or not.
That right there was how they proved they were sisters—that was the kind of stunt siblings pulled and got away with.
When the buzzer rang again, I huffed. “You’re doing this on purpose. You could have arranged this for a couple hours later, dammit.”
“I’m not! This was the only time everyone could get together and you offered to take Kat to her class so I could do this. Did you braid her hair?”
“I did. It’s wonky.”
“Stop being a perfectionist,” she retorted. “You’ll have done a better goddamn job than I would have.”
“Can’t argue with that,” I sniped, which made her chuckle.
“Anyway, before you have to leave, there’s something in the—”
“Who’s leaving and where? Hello, I am here, you know?” Savannah grumbled.
“I can easily hang up the phone,” was Star’s pleasant retort.
“Katina has a gymnastics class, Savannah. Star is meeting up with Eoghan and some other ex-servicemen and women while I’m out.”
