The sound of utensils on ceramic echoed in the silent kitchen of Seven's place. He was recovering fast with the help of Ryan and his doctor.
But there was still silence at the dinner table as we shared a meal. This used to be a lively chat back then.
However, I was not sure how much his nephew knew about what we do nor how we even knew each other.
These details were never shared with us, or maybe it was just me. Jace chose silence as well. His usual confidence was missing.
I can't help but think back to the pretense we had to do back at Mimi's house. Her mother accepted the lie of me and him dating too.
She even mentioned how we look so cute together.
I got distracted and almost didn't hear that Seven had called me. If Jace didn't kick my foot under the table, I would have kept on going back to the events that afternoon.
"Oh, sorry," I mumbled. "I was pulled away by memories of my parents. Won't happen again."
