“ Him ”

Awake, you reach for me, and I know the beauty of morning.

“ T hat new guard applied excessive force,” Sid reprimands the line of security guards outside our locker room door. “We were already walking away. I want to talk to?—”

“Consider it handled,” Gigi replies, cutting through the line. “There will be an internal investigation into his conduct. If there is a violation of use-of-force protocols, he will be suspended or terminated.”

“ If? ” Sid scoffs.

“If.” Gigi winks at him.

Yeah, that guy’s a goner.

“Gigi.” I stop pacing. “I need five minutes in their locker room.”

“Not happening, Cade,” Jo, my other favorite guard, replies.

“Please.” I shift on my feet. “Thought you wanted an invite to the wedding.”

Sid smirks. “Come on. Let princess go get his prince.”

Jo sighs. “It’s your call, boss,” he directs to Gigi.

Gigi huffs out a curse. “I swear to god, if you so much as raise your voice in there…”

“You da best.” I shoot her a big smile.

“Yeah, yeah. Jo and I get the next two gift baskets.”

“Done,” I call out as I race down the hall.
