Desmond, who was furious, smashed a bottle and scowled. “F*ck you! How dare you do that right in front of me?
Get him!”
Kayson dropped the courteous act then, sending three bottles flying and crashing against the men’s heads. With
three loud smashes, the three guys passed out on the floor in unison. “You You...” Riley watched the scene in
disbelief before her eyes slowly drifted shut and she fainted.

start?”
Kayson nodded. “While | don’t know what your friend was trying to say when she gave you that look, | can tell
that something's wrong even when I'm being dumb.

like us could handle.”
