Chapter 24

Lucas sucked in a breath and rage filled his features. If I hadn’t known he was acting, I would have thought he was truly pissed.

“You should go,” I said, just loudly enough for the boom mike to pick it up. When Dan didn’t move, I added, “Frank, really. Go. You have to.”

The tension was thick, and the silence went on for a good sixty seconds. This was going to make for some damn good TV. Finally, Dan shifted our position so that he could stand. He kissed my cheek, shot a glare at Lucas, and headed off through the doorway to the left that was supposed to be his bedroom. I turned my attention back to that blank TV, resolutely ignoring Lucas.

“Thanks, Riley.”

I lifted my gaze just enough to shoot a glare at Lucas. “I didn’t do it for you, Rourke.” There was just a hint of venom in my words.

Lucas blinked, and then he smirked. “Might as well call me Murph. Seeing as how you’re going to be around.”
