Hey, brat.
Ryatt’s teasing rumble reached me as he slid into the booth opposite mine. His usual playful demeanor instantly fracturing when he saw my face. Whoa. Hold on. What’s happened?
Without a word, I slid my phone across the table. On it, was the photo Marissa had sent me barely an hour ago. Her standing in front of the mirror in her room, triumphant little smile on her face. And wrapped around her, Danny. My boyfriend. His chin tucked into her shoulder, a familiar, lazy smirk plastered across his face.
Ryatt leaned forward, his eyes locking onto the screen. I watch the color drain from his face, replaced with a hard tightening in his jaw. For a long moment, the only sound was the hum of an espresso machine behind the counter.
Rissa. He muttered, his voice dropping low, laced with disappointment and sudden anger. He rubbed a hand over his jaw and sighed sharply. Jesus Christ. I knew she could be petty, but this...is vile. And Daniel? I'm gonna break his nose.
He looks back up, his gaze softening with genuine concern. Look, she's my sister, and I love her, but she’s completely out of line. She’s your best friend— Stops himself with a wince. Corrects himself. Was.
He sighs again. Runs a frustrated hand through his hair. What do you want me to do? Go over there and yell at them? Break some shit?
I swallow past the lump in my throat, the ache in my chest hardening into something cold. I shake my head. No.
Ryatt blinks. Then what do you want?
Payback.
