Havoc grinned at him, his crooked smile on full display. “You got that right. Hey, you sure you’re human?”
Charlie’s expression showed what a ridiculous question he thought that was. “Pretty sure there’s nothing else to be,” he said. “But I’m going. And I think you should invite Mr. Bane, too. He knows something’s off with Daisy, and if it was my daughter, I’d want to be included.”
“He’s right. I’d never hear the end of it,” Brandt said. “When are y’all planning on going?”
“Tomorrow?” Lucien asked.
“Tomorrow,” Havoc said. “Barron, you stay with Emmalyn. There’s going to be four of us already. We got this.”
“Four?” Brandt asked.
“Me, Lucien, Bane and Charlie,” Havoc said.
“I already said I wasn’t sure it’s a good idea for Charlie to go,” Brandt said.
“You gonna stop him? He’s got a right,” Havoc said.
“They’re not married!” Brandt insisted.
“If I have my way, we will be,” Charlie said.
Brandt sighed. “You need to have a talk with Daisy. If after you have that talk you still want to go, you let us know. Untilthen, you’re not going. And it shouldn’t be tomorrow. We need a little time to get some details. We got a name now. We need to do a little research.”
“And on that note, I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear this conversation. I am not a witness when Daisy gets mad she wasn’t advised before hand,” Analise said.
“I’ll take the heat. The bastard needs to die,” Lucien said.
“Hey! You forget we’re waiting?!” Hellen called from the porch.
“I’m coming,” Analise said, stacking a few more plates in her hands and leaving them all to finish their plan.

“But I haven’t seen Mr. Bane, yet,” Carson said.
“I know, Carson. But it’s already dark outside. We’ve spent the whole day with other friends. It’s time to go home now.”
“Why don’t you just stop by for a few minutes?” Daisy asked.
“We don’t want to impose,” Charlie said.
“Come on. It’s just a few minutes. Carson is happy. My dad is happy. Everybody’s happy,” Daisy said, nudging Charlie with her elbow.
Charlie smiled at her. “Your dad is going to get so tired of seeing us.”
“Not a chance,” Daisy said. “I’ll see you there.”
Charlie nodded, but didn’t really say much else.
“You alright?” Daisy asked as she started to walk toward her jeep, but then stopped and looked back at Charlie.
“Yeah. Just think there are some things I still don’t know about you.”
“There are a lot of things we don’t know about each other. But I’m looking forward to learning all of them. Are you?”
“I am. I really am. Just wondering why Brandt said that we need to have a conversation.”
“Brandt said that, huh?”
