“That was a good one,” I snorted. “Well.”
Piper scrunched up her nose.
“It was… I don’t know what to say,” she admitted. “I’m sad. Sad for me. Even sadder for you.”
Her eyes flicked to the man beside me and I saw her shudder.
That didn’t make me happy.
In fact, it made me stiffen my spine and look at Riel with a look of annoyance.
“What are you getting?” I snapped.
Riel shrugged. “I don’t know.”
I tapped the menu. “You should probably look then. I’m ordering when the chick gets here.”
Riel snorted and opened his menu.
And that was when the waitress showed up with a tray of drinks.
My mouth watered at the sight of the sweet tea.
I hadn’t had anything to eat or drink in hours.
Twelve of them, as a matter of fact.
I was still waiting on that lunch break that Dr. Cromwell had promised.
But the dick head had taken not one, but three hours for his own, effectively taking Hunter’s and
my lunch break.
When he’d gotten back, we’d been swamped due to a seven-car pileup on the interstate.
When it’d finally cleared out, it’d been time for us to go home.
“What can I get you to drink, ma’am?” the waitress asked.
I looked at Riel’s sweet tea and pointed. “Same thing as him.”
Riel was in the process of taking a drink and grimaced.
“You can have mine,” he suggested. “As long as you don’t have a problem with drinking after me.
That’s way too sweet.”
I chuckled then.
“Luca used to have to get a quarter sweet, three-quarters unsweet here. I’m fairly sure that they
put half a pound of sugar per ounce,” I teased, then tilted my head. “Try that.”
Riel ordered that as I took his sweet tea and gulped half of it down in one swallow, not caring if
he’d drunk out of it or not.
Then a thought occurred to me.
