Felicia felt a sudden ache deep in her chest. She had no idea how to talk to Anne about it, not with her birthday so close. She just wanted her little girl to stay happy.
Doing her best to hide any sign of worry, Felicia reached over and gently patted Anne’s head. “Let me give him a call, sweetheart. I’ll ask.”
She pulled out her phone and dialed Max’s number.
A few seconds later, someone picked up. A woman’s voice came through. “Hello?”
Felicia caught her breath, but kept her voice steady and even. “Is Max there?”
“Mr. Hawthorne is drunk right now.”
Felicia let out a quiet sigh. “Alright. Thanks.” She hung up.
At the other end, the waitress set the phone down and stood off to the side, sneaking glances at the man slouched on the sofa.
He really was something else. Even though he was clearly tipsy, there was still this powerful energy around him. She felt her heart race just looking at him, but she didn’t dare get too close.
She’d seen the photo of a small girl on his phone’s lockscreen. No doubt he had a family. The thought popped in her mind—what kind of woman had caught him, had his children? Still, it seemed obvious he’d just fought with his wife.
“Mr. Hawthorne, is there anything else I can get you?” she asked quietly.
His answer was short and cold. “Leave.”
She didn’t hesitate, turning and slipping quietly out of the room, easing the door shut behind her.
