That’s right. I have one.Humble brag.

After bringing a cup of ice water into the living room, I cuddle on the couch with my phone.

Kri

Hey, girl crush. Are you up for dinner later this week? Sammy is going stir-crazy and insisting on getting out of her house. Sawyer and Shep are “allowing” it, assuming they sit at the table behind us and we pick a low-key place. ??

Mia

Sounds fun. I’ll talk to Klein. He’s a little on edge. Did Shep tell you someone broke into my house?

Kri

Yeah. Are you upset about it? Need anything?

Mia

It’s not ideal, but I’m dealing fine. Just another day in my life, right?

Kri

I feel ya. I’m done letting the bad guys stop us from living. Fuck them.

Mia

Amen, sister.

Kri

We’ll have multiple highly trained special ops soldiers surrounding us. I think we’ll survive one meal out. I refuse to live in fear.

Mia

My life has been at risk for fifteen years. This is nothing new. I won’t be reckless, but a dinner out with multiple armed bodyguards isn’t exactly living on the edge.

Kri

Exactly. BTW, are you staying with Klein until this blows over?

Mia

Yes, it looks like it.

Kri

Good. Hope that’s “fun” for you two. Silver lining and all.

Mia

By fun, I assume you mean pleasurable.

Kri

Of course I do. I once stayed with one of Redleg’s finest, and it turned out nicely for both of us. ??

Mia

If we go to dinner, what about Val?
