“Hey, look at you acting all high and mighty now! You think you’re better than us? Why don’t you go all the way and rub shoulders with the sun?” Baylon shrugged like he didn’t care at all. “Fine, let ‘em talk. Best friends stick together through thick and thin.”

“Alright, enough with the nonsense. Let’s eat first,” Quinton Lewis said as he casually tossed his cards onto the table and stood up, pushing his glasses back into place. “Even though Asher’s not going back over there anymore, this is still our first get- together since he returned. Save the banter for next time.”

If he’s so damn capable, why didn’t he go back then?” Kendrick frowned as he spoke, eyes filled with obvious disdain.

Louis was sitting to Asher’s left. As soon as Kendrick finished speaking, Louis gave Asher a gentle, innocent look. Asher leaned back in his chair, turning his head to look at Louis with something oddly close to exasperation.
