Hearing that, Finn froze for a second.

Abel caught the change right away. The smirk on his lips grew even wider. “Uncle Finn, you just said you’re Tess’s husband. So … are you brave enough to make this bet with me?”

His voice dropped to a low, tempting whisper.

He sounded like a demon from the depths, luring his prey into a trap.

“Alright.”

Finn knew it was a childish move, but something inside him burned–he couldn’t tell if it was anxiety or anticipation.

Part of him scoffed at Abel’s childish game, but another part of him couldn’t help but wonder what the result would be.

Tess… Will she show up? Who will she come for? Will it be me?

Finn clenched his fingers tighter around his glass, pouring himself a few more drinks as his thoughts tangled.

Soon, his vision started to blur.

Abel, while still fairly clear–headed, was getting flushed from the alcohol.

“Waitress.”

After making sure he looked convincingly drunk, he flagged someone over.

“Yes, sir?”

I’m feeling dizzy. Please call her for me and tell her I’m drunk at the Starlight Bar.”

I drove here, but I’m drunk too. Call her for me as well.”

Finn shoved his phone into the waitress’s hands, and Abel did the same.

The waitress suddenly found herself holding two phones, so she was a bit stunned.

As she glanced at both screens, she realized something even stranger.

Both phones were showing the same number.

She looked from one man to the other–one was already face–down on the table, the other gazed dreamily into space, but both of them looked so handsome it was almost unreal.

Her face flushed red as she glanced down at the phones.

Tess Ember?

Tess?

Both phones had the same name on the screen.

This sounds like a woman’s name.

I wonder what kind of woman could have this kind of luck, getting attention from both of them.

The waitress couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy as she dialed both numbers.

Somehow, Finn managed to sit up, his gaze fixed on the waitress’s hands.

More accurately, he was staring at the two phones in her hands.

“Hello, is this Ms. Tess?”

Abel’s call was the first to go through.

The waitress set Finn’s phone down, and the spark of hope faded from his eyes.

Abel grinned even wider.

“And who is this?”

Tess’s voice sounded chilly and distant. Abel’s eyes gleamed with excitement, while Finn stared at Abel’s phone with a look of longing and disappointment.

“Two gentlemen got drunk at our bar. One owns this phone, the other is Mr. Lock. They both asked me to call you. They want you to come pick them up at the Starlight Bar

The waitress quickly explained.

There was a long silence on the line.

“Address”

That was all Tess said, her voice crisp and cool.

The waitress let out a breath of relief and recited the bar address.

“Thank you.”

Tess hung up after the polite reply.

When both men got their phones back, Abel’s ego soared. “See? I told you Tess would pick me.”

“Maybe you just got lucky your call went through first.”

Finn grunted, gripping his phone tighter.

He knew, deep down, even if his call had gone through first, there was no guarantee Tess would pick up.

He dropped his gaze, his long lashes casting shadows over his eyes.

His thoughts drifted to the scene of Tess walking away that afternoon.

She had been surrounded by people, with Abel right beside her.

And he’d been left behind, the distance between them growing wider every second.

A sharp pang of bitterness rose in Finn’s chest, leaving a sour taste in his mouth.

Abel, meanwhile, was absolutely delighted. “If she’s coming, let’s have her pick between us right here.
