“Everyone gained a heartwarming memory that night. It was a whole reunion, remember?”

“No.”

I wait a few minutes.

“Listen.”

“Jameson, I swear to the Supreme Court, if you try—”

“I’m just going toseesomething. I won’t touch anything. I won’t do anything. I’ll just look. And not to be an asshole, but—”

“But I can’t stop you, because you’re the one driving the car?”

“Bingo.”

“Bingo to you, too.” Lily lets out an aggrieved sigh. “Tell me where you want to go, at least.”

“Place in TriBeCa.”

“I don’t like the sound of that.”

“Do you have a feud with TriBeCa?”

“No, I just happen to know that a lot of people with money live there, and if you’re going after somebody who has a lot of money—”

“Angel, Ionlygo after people with a lot of money. That’s kind of my thing. I’m on the side of the common folk.”

“Even though you and your family arenotthe common folk?”

“We were, for a while. You, on the other hand, were always part of the elite.”

Lily snorts. “I was not.”

“The gorgeousness elite.”

“Stop trying to flirt with me as a distraction.”

“Angel, Ionlyflirt with—”

“Do youswearyou’re not going to do anything to get yourself hurt or arrested?” I can feel her watching me. “Because I donotwant to have to call your brother and have him come bail you out.”

“You wouldn’t bail me out?”

“I left my purse in your room.”

“Major oversight.”

She sits up in her seat and pats at her hair. “It was not an oversight, because I knew I wouldn’t need it. Because I have faith that you will not get hurt or arrested. Not today of all days.”

“You don’t want me to get arrested on our engagement session day? Because it’s after midnight. In this time zone, that happened—”

“It was in the last twenty-four hours, which I’m counting as the same day.” Lily makes a good argument.

“Fine.”

“Fine, you promise?”

“Fine. I promise.”
