“Me too. It feels like we’ve been friends forever even though we just met.”

“Agreed. Forewarning, I’m going to start texting you a lot more and we need to plan another hangout,” I tell her.

We end up hugging and finishing our glass of wine which leads to us laying back on the couch giggling. It feels wonderful.

Apparently, the guys can’t wait another second to join us because they all come in and stand there.

I roll my eyes and huff, but they did give me longer than I expected.

“Go get wine glasses,” I say.

Adelina stands and hugs me. “I should get home to Jen. This was great. I can’t wait until next time.”

I walk her out and feel spectacular about the friendship we are building.

The guys all have a glass of wine when I get back and I end up cuddling on the couch with all my guys watching reality TV, getting tipsy off wine, and feeling ecstatic about my friendship with Adelina.

It’sthecar. We’ve been searching for it everywhere and haven’t seen one of them. The red sedan is parked at the bar. My bar. The bar I worked at.

“Guys!” I shout.

Footsteps pound as they all rush into my room. Rion gets here first.

“What’s wrong?” Blaze demands.

Aksel has his darkness surrounding him, ready to attack.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you. It’s the car!” I point to my screen so they can see what I see.

Shoulders drop as they all crowd around me.

“We should have thought about the option that he met you at the bar. You aren’t going to recognize all your customers but they might notice you,” Aksel says.

“We should go now,” Felix says, moving towards the door.

“Yes but someone should stay here and watch the car in case it leaves. We need to know where it goes,” Rion says.

We all glance at each other.

Felix sighs. “I’ll stay but I’m not happy about it.”

I give him a quick kiss. “Let’s go, quickly, before they leave.”

Aksel drives us to the bar faster than legal and pulls into a spot in the parking lot.

“Let’s see if we can find clues in the car. It’s going to be impossible to know who it is on a busy Friday night,” I say.

We agree it would be too obvious to have all of us go so only Aksel and I do. The car is empty with no personal items inside or on it. The license plate is still missing so it’s a pretty good guess to say this is the same car.

“What if we just wait in our car for them to come out? We can grab them before they leave,” I say when we get back inside Aksel’s SUV.

They agree so we sit here watching the car until someone comes.

Three hours later and it’s still sitting there.
