Crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow, he looked at the man drowning his sorrows in alcohol. "Well, well, Mr.
Everett. Taking a break from being the model husband and doting dad, are we?"
Ever since their last engagement party, Jahad tried to get him out for drinks several times, only to be turned
down flat each time. Everett always teased him, saying a single guy like him wouldn't understand the warmth of

On the other end, Selena listened to the dial tone, completely flabbergasted.
She hadn't expected Everett to skip work and hit the bar.

Initially not wanting to get involved, she remembered something their son had said. After a moment of
hesitation, she got up, changed, grabbed her car keys, and headed out

She knew Jaime's bar well enough; Everett had brought her there when it first opened. So finding her way was
easy.
As soon as she arrived, Jasprang up from the couch and said, "He's all yours," before making a quick exit.
