“I’m in.” She sets down her phone. “Can Stone go an evening without you?”
“I’m sure he’ll be fine.”
Me: We’re in
Jade: Perfect.
Me: What are you thinking?
Jade: Pole dancing class
Me: You’re joking, right?
Jade: Make sure you wear heels
“She said we’re taking a pole dancing class,” I say with raised brows.
“Fun,” Sierra says with excitement. “I’ve always wanted to do one of those.”
At the very least it’ll be an experience.

“Doyou think this is a good idea?” Adam asks from my side as we pull up to the building Hazel’s sperm donor works at.
“Probably not, but she hasn’t been the same since she saw him.” I pull the handle of the door as we come to a stop and step out onto the sidewalk. “I can’t leave the city without doing this.”
I stroll into the lobby bustling with people coming back from lunch or meetings. Whatever the fuck corporate workers spend their days doing. A security guard stands to greet us.
“Who are you here for?” he asks before doing a double take. “Are you Stone Tyler?”
“Yes,” I answer quietly. “I’m here to see Elliot Archer.”
“Do you have an appointment?” he stammers.
“No. I’m here on business, though.” Hazel is my business.
“I’m not supposed to allow anyone up without an appointment.”
I look down at his name tag before meeting his eyes. “I get that, Matt. I don’t want to cause trouble. I was just thinking about moving here, and I hear he’s the best guy in finance.”
“He is great at what he does, but policy?—”
“Are you a Blue Sunday fan?” I interrupt.
“Yes.”
“What if I gave you two tickets to the concert tomorrow night?”
“Four?”
I chuckle. “Sure.”
He slaps a guest key card on the desk and gives us the floor we need. After Adam gets his information, we walk over to a bank of elevators and wait for the next car. To gain access to his floor, we have to use the key card. The elevator lurches and then starts its ascent.
“What are you going to say to him?”
