First message
Friday nights always pulled the same crowd. Music shook the walls of the neighborhood bar, pool balls cracked against one another, and someone was already losing money at the dart board before ten. Thomas barely had one boot through the door before a few familiar faces called his name.
He greeted them with a grin, a clap on the shoulder, a sarcastic comment that earned a chorus of middle fingers in return.
Business could wait until tomorrow.
Halfway to the bar, his eyes landed on a face he hadn’t seen in… hell, years.
She looked different.
Older.
Gone was the kid who used to trail behind her father with headphones over her ears, pretending the world around her didn’t exist. She’d grown into someone who carried herself with quiet confidence, the same stubborn spark still written all over her face.
He remembered her father. One of the good ones who got swallowed whole by a life that promised loyalty and delivered a funeral instead. After that, she’d kept her distance from anyone wearing Black Oaks’ colors—and Thomas couldn’t exactly blame her.
She’d made it clear where she stood.
She wanted nothing to do with gangs.
Nothing to do with men like him.
Still…
Seeing her here caught him off guard.
As if she’d felt someone watching, her gaze drifted across the room until it met his. For a second, neither of them looked away.
Thomas smirked, lifting his beer in a lazy salute.
She responded by rolling her eyes and quickly turning back to her friend.
He liked that.
