When I left the triad, I also decided to leave The Lotus, turning ownership over to Cheryl. Felipe was sad to see me go but also seemed a touch relieved. I suspect that he had more to do with Bridget’s disappearance than Amy. Amy might have overheard JD talking on the phone, but how much could she have known about my involvement in the triad? Bridget was convinced that I was as dangerous to her as JD. Could she really have reached that conclusion based only on what Amy knew?
But I let it go. If she did flee as a result of Felipe’s interference, then he probably saved her life. So I owe him.
“I bet there are nice places around here to hold a wedding ceremony,” my mother says. “You could fly that aunt of hers out here easily enough. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy.”
“Not being fancy will be a requirement with Bridget,” I tell her. “She’d probably prefer to get hitched at Denver City Hall.”
My mom frowns.
I laugh and get up to walk over to Bridget and Ethan, whom she’s caught and is now swinging in a circle. Seeing me, she sets Ethan down and gives me the brightest smile. Suddenly, I rather like the idea of putting a ring on Bridget. To claim her as mine. Forever. Till death do us part.
