“That’s a little more complicated, but he flies in all the time, and distance does in fact make the heart grow fonder.”
“I bet the sex is great too.”
“Oh yeah,” I whisper.
“Okay. I know you’ve gotta do this, but if you need us, you better call. I’m not even kidding. You’ve already used your get-out-of-jail-free card. You keep shit from us again, and I’ll beat your ass.”
“You think you can take me, huh?”
“Maybe not, but I’ll sick Charlie on you.”
“I’ll call if I need you. Hell, I’ll call if I don’t. I’ll be back so often it will be like I never left.”
“Promise?”
“I promise.”
She nods before stepping back into Sawyer’s embrace.
“Are you going to see Zale before you go?” I look over at Aslanov and grin.
“Already been. He looks so good. I’m glad he’s settling in.”
Zale had been placed with a foster family, who now want to adopt him. They are amazing with him, and he’s flourishing under their care.
“Any news on the other girls?” he asks me as a knock sounds on the door.
“The ones that went home are getting the help they need, and the ones that stayed are doing as well as can be expected. They’ll get there. They’re strong.
“Come in,” I yell. My PA pokes her head around the door and looks at me with a smile.
“Your guests are here.”
“Okay, thanks. Bring them up.”
“Alright, guys, I’ll FaceTime you once I land.”
I get extra hugs before everyone heads for the door.
“Dulce, Aslanov, can you hang back for a second?”
“Sure,” Dulce answers for them both, dragging him over to the sofa.
“What’s going on?” Aslanov asks.
“I couldn’t have picked a better person for Dulce. I know we haven’t always seen eye to eye, but I’m so grateful she has you in her life. And I want to say thank you for what you did for me.”
“You’re family, Sugar. It’s what families do.”
“I’m glad you said that because I have something for you. You deserve this, and she deserves to have you. Take it from someone who knows.”
“What are you talking about?” He looks at me, puzzled, before turning to Dulce, who shrugs.
The knock at the door has me tensing. Rémy moves to answer it, and when it swings open, I offer King a wide smile. He steps aside and shows his old lady, Sunshine, into the room.
“Oh, my God,” Dulce whispers.
“Hey, Sunshine. I’d like you to meet someone.”
