“Yes. But we can do a different version. Please?”

Expertly, she bats her lashes and gives me a sad pout.

“Fine. We can make some tweaks,” I tell her.

Taking a seat on the leather couch, she jumps up next to me and snuggles in.

If I’m not training or on jobs, I’m writing my book. The perfect escape for me. But it plagues my thoughts all day and night of Jimmy.

I don’t even get halfway through before Drago knocks on the door.

“Go let him in,” I tell her, looking at the camera and checking it is him.

Heading into the kitchen, I pour him a coffee and hand it to him as he carries Isabella in.

“You okay?” he asks.

I nod.

Picking up the contract, he frowns, putting Isabella on her feet.

“I’ll sign it today,” I tell him, finishing my drink and washing it out in the sink.

“Thank you. I’ve been working on contacts to have near the area. I’ve done some digging. I’m fairly certain I have a close enough location.”

“Fine. How’s our other plan looking?”

“I think we can find a way; just get the job done. Okay? Trust me. Whoever is behind those gates is the key to this.”

I nod.

He’s never given me a reason not to.

After giving Isabella a kiss goodbye, I take the contract and curl up on the couch.

My morning read is quite something.
