At first, she didn’t know if he was going to go there, but shockingly, he did.
“Calyx.”
“What about her?” Maura asked as everyone stayed quiet.
They all knew he was twitchy and would bolt if pressured, and they didn’t need that.
“Can I just vent?” he asked, looking around.
When Zayn opened his mouth, Stella kicked him in the shin, shutting him up.
“Don’t you ruin this!” she whispered.

Boone.
Nada.
Even Jagger was looking around the room as if he was hunting for something.
“Point made.”
Maura was impressed that he was reaching out to the family. He was here to heal, but he’d fought it.

“She’s good for you. We’re all seeing it from the outside, but we notice how you change when you’re around her. You’re calmer, and she lights up a room. Maybe you’re supposed to have sex with her.”

She laughed.
And then kicked him again.
“What? You offered.”
He kissed her on the tip of the nose.
