After I said that, I remembered what I'd wanted to ask him yesterday. "Those guys who came after you- did they give you any more trouble?"

As I spoke, I glanced at his hands and face, instinctively checking for any bruises. Luckily, there weren't

any.

"No," Hayden said, almost like he could read my mind. And even if they did, they wouldn't stand a chance.

So confident.

I finished the last sip of my soup and asked, "Have you found out anything about your dad's accident? Like, who's behind it? Why are they coming after you?" Hayden looked at me. "They're scared I'll find out the truth about my dad's boss's death."

He was being vague, like always, leaving me to dig for more. "Was his boss some big deal? Did his death mess with people's plans or something?"

"It's been over a decade. There's no financial benefit left. What they're worried about is the boss's kid holding a grudge."

Something in his voice made my throat tighten. "The boss had a kid? Do they know you're investigating?"

Hayden's gaze dropped, avoiding mine. "She doesn't know yet."

That caught me off guard. After a moment, I asked, "Are you gonna keep looking into it?"
