Somehow, Rome had let Mark talk him into going out for drinks, even though Rome really didn’t want to. The last thing he wanted was to go to Lucky Red where so many girls would be hitting on him. Nevertheless, sitting at the bar next to his best friend, Rome tried to concentrate on his beer and not the girls checking him out from across the room as Mark asked him question after question he didn’t want to answer.
“Okay--so you accidentally called this number instead of mine, you start talking to this chick cause she sounded hot, and it turns out she’s Lloyd Sinders’s long lost daughter?”
“Yes,” Rome confirmed.
“But then you find out she’s not got her own phone or anything and tells you she can’t leave her room. But she does go to her aunt’s birthday party, which was an awesome time, by the way.” He stopped to chuckle and then took a long swallow of his beer before he continued. “And you snuck off and made out with her?”
