Chapter 0363


    Jerome, Daniel, and I are all pretty much exhausted as we pull up to the bar the next day around noon, when it opens. Jerome and I stayed up pretty


    late exining the details of the n to Daniel, and then telling him what we need him to do next


    and then a couple more hours patting his back when he hyperventted, convincing him not to runs away from us screaming.


    Because...yeah, it’s a little crazy. But it''s going to work!


    “I can''t believe this is how I''m spending my Saturday,” Daniel murmurs as Jerome turns the car off in the nearly-empty parking lot of a very, very


    crappy bar. “You know that we could just go have brunch, right? Somewhere nice?


    “I bet they can rustle up some brunch here,” I say from the back seat, leaning forward to pat Daniel on the shoulder.


    “At least some peanuts,” Jerome adds, ncing at me andughing a little.


    “Seriously, why are we here?” Daniel asks, frowning at us. Because while we told him pretty much everything else...we kept this one a secret.


    ‘It''s a surprise, Danny,” I say, opening the car door and hopping out. smoothing down my ck dress as I smile towards the door. I''m actually excited


    for this one too. I haven''t seen her in a long time, and I miss her.


    Daniel sighs as he stands by my side and we wait for Jerome toe around the car. “I don''t like this Danny thing. by the way,” he says, frowning


    down at me.


    “Yes, that''s my nickname for him,” Jerome says, grinning at me as we start for the door. “You can''t get it on it now — it’s very personal.”


    “I can do as I please,” I say, flicking my hair back over my shoulder and lifting my chin. m a very powerful mafiosa, after all.


    “That remains to be seen,” Daniel murmurs, a little smirk on his face.


    But as soon as he ducks into the bar, and sees who is standing by the counter?


    That smirk falls away,pletely reced by shock.


    “Hey, sugar,” Fiona says,ughing as shees out from behind the bar and walking over to Daniel with open arms. “I missed you too, kid.


    “Oh my god,” Daniel murmurs, wrapping Fiona tight against him and lowering his dark head to press against hers. “Oh my god — Fiona — I...I honestly


    thought you were dead —*


    “Dead!?” sheughs, pulling away. “Honestly, he was mad at me, Daniel — and rightly, I betrayed him big time. But he likes me too much to kill me —"


    “I didn’t think he liked anyone too much te kill them,” Daniel replies, staring down at Fiona in awe, “not even me —*


    “Yeah well,” sheughs, giving him a wink, “I did some really weird shit in bed. I earned some respect.


    Daniel blushes scarlet as Fiona pats him on the cheek and gives Jerome a hug and a quick greeting before she turns her attention to me.


    “Well well well, baby Fay,” she says, wrinkling her nose and giving me a grin as she takes my hands and looks down at my stomach. “Looks like


    someone got you inte some trouble.”


    And then, before I can respond, she


    steps forward and wraps me in a


    warm hug as well. “I missed you;


    little cousin, “she murmurs in my


    ear, tim so d you came. Me been


    war ried about you.” Cont

    “I''ve been worried about you too,” I


    murmur, holding her close and


    closing my''eyes. Fiona — she was .


    SO, SO gqod to me, the entire times


    that wewere in that house together


    And jthile she, too, betrayed Kent...


    just.can''t bring myself to bemad


    aout it. Because she never


    betrayed me.


    After a long-moment Fiona pulls


    away from me. “Looks like Kent Has


    been buy,” she says, and I go alittle


    pale as she looks down at my~


    stomach with a wink. Anxiow8, my


    haads instantly go to my belly.
