“So the ones we love the most,” he said in a low voice I barelylot

“Don’t get ahead of yourself, Dex Juliet and I just met”

“Doesn’t ht person”

An uncoh my chest Juliet was the one for me Knew it the second I met her Our souls connected My rational brain knew that was absurd, but the rest of me didn’t care

Dex saw it too and didn’t think I was crazy?

He handed over a card with a name and address

“What’s Crystal Ball?” The address ay the fuck down in the city of Empire Not sure how he expected me to find my way there

“Club owned by my MC Come down and see me I’ll find you some work”

“Uh…” I hesitated and considered handing the card back “Whatever the job is, it has to be legal and I have to get it approved by et there”

He stared at me for a second “You always such a rule-follower, Roman?”

Finally, the reason he came to see me I lifted my chin and waited for him to continue

“Look out for Juliet Her uncle’s nastier than ever Make sure everything’s okay there If it’s not, let me know and I’ll handle him”

“I noticed he’s a prick You think he’d hurt her?”

“Don’t know Not sure she’d tell me if he did”

“But you think she’ll tell me?”

“If she trusts you”
