Travis glances over my shoulder toward the table “A couple hotties? What’s the problem, Luke?”
“I just can’t”
“Fine with me You take the foursome at twenty-three, and I’ll take care of the ladies” He raises an eyebrow
“Easy They’re customers, not cheesecakes in a bakery ”

Travis juts into my path “Hey, Luke No deal”
“What do you mean no deal?”
“Iin your section”
