W here did Mac Ruaidhri go?" Bob asked Evan.
"He was here just a few minutes ago."
"He left, I'm not sure where, he didn't say." Evan
reached over and picked up the toast that had been
delivered for Aiden. "I really wish the man would at
least let Lisa give him some peanut butter." He took a
bite out of the toast.
"That's Aiden's." Daniel began but his voice
trailed off. Aiden was pissed with him at the moment,
there really wasn't any point in protecting his toast.
"Where's the boyfriend?" Bob asked to change
the subject.
"He had to go back to Victoria. His wife is having
some problems. Ex wife I mean." Daniel mumbled.
"Where did that asshole go, his car is parked in
two spaces." Lisa stood by the table hands on her hips.
"He's just lucky I don't have it towed."
"Ma, don't do that. Aiden can't be far." Daniel
stood up to check on Aiden's Lexus. Not that he could

do anything, but had to see for himself that Aiden
wasn't in it.
Evan and Bob watched Daniel leave the diner.
"He really doesn't give up does he?" Evan mused. "I
mean Aiden is never going to fuck him."
"No he has that hot little red headed number at his
beck and call." Bob laughed. "Which, considering his
age is kind of verging on the creepy side."
"Jealousy doesn't become you Bobby." Evan
pated his friend's hand. "I'm sure Aiden has his
reasons for keeping Liam close."
"Yeah, his bubble butt."
"Perhaps." Evan shrugged. "I like to think that
Aiden Mac Ruaidhri has found the love of his life."
"You have delusions." Bob laughed.
"Well at least Aiden isn't trying to reform a
crystal queen. You know Bobby that just isn't going to
work. He damn near killed you."
"It wasn't his fault." Bob looked away. "I'm
dealing with it." Now it was Bob's turn to stand up. "I
have to go." He threw a few dollars on the table and
walked out of the diner.
"Where did everybody go?" Lisa asked coming
back with a pot of coffee.
"Vanished on the wind, honey." Evan smiled and
held out his coffee cup for a refill.
