Jayden remained silent, simply opening the bottle and taking a long swig directly from it. Peyton and Clive exchanged dismayed glances. Jayden’s demeanor made it clear that something had gone awry between him and Elyse.

Clive, too, indulged in a bottle of whiskey. With deliberate pace, he dropped two ice cubes into his glass and poured himself a measure of the whiskey. “What transpired between you and Elyse?” he inquired calmly.
