Otto loved to rub it in that he had hooked up with Raven who was actually River’s younger sister. River had about lost his mind when he discovered the two had been getting naked, but in the end, he knew Otto was actually thebestwhen it came to Raven.
Two of them this perfect match.
That soulmate kind of love rarely found.
River
Don’t make me hurt you. As far as I’m concerned, that kid was conceived by immaculate conception.
Otto
So, you’re calling me a god?

Before River hops on his bike on a mission to gut Otto, need to interject. Emery has her big grand opening at Ivy Threads this coming week, and I want to throw her a surprise party to celebrate. Going to need your attendance. Opening is on Friday. Want to do it at the club after closing.
Otto
You’d better loop Raven and Charleigh in on this.
Kane
Already done. Just want to make sure you fuckers show.
River
Like we would be anywhere else. Emery is family.
Cash
Yeah.
Otto
Double yeah.
That’s exactly what Emery had become.
Family.

I’d met the guys when we’d been living on the streets of LA.
Each of us suffering and realizing we were a whole lot better off if we were suffering together.
Having each other’s backs.
Raven had been there then, too. Barely nine years old, River stealing her away from the torment of their piece of shit father.
During that time, our loyalty had been forged in the fire.
God knew, we’d gotten up to some seedy shit.
I’d gotten to the end of the thread, the last text from about twenty minutes ago, so I tapped out my own reply.
