Hooking Tanya was easy. Buying the bar? Not so much.

This place was booming every night, packed with customers. No sane owner would hand it over without a fight. I needed a different angle.

Sure, I could've looped in the Johnstons and made it a done deal. But that wasn't happening. I was done with them.

So, I called Ron. The second I finished explaining, he hit me with, "If you wanna be a boss, I'll step aside." Typical Ron-chill to the point of reckless. Giving up a cushy gig without blinking? He made life look so easy.

I laughed it off. "I'm not looking to run the place. I just don't want to pay for my drinks every time I show up."

He snorted. "Ms. Kay, the money you're thinking of dropping on this could fund your drinking habit for, like, ten lifetimes."

He teased, but then his tone shifted. "Don't be impulsive. Owning a bar isn't just a fun side hustle."

"I know what I'm doing," I cut in before he could go full dad-mode. "Just tell me if you've got any connections to the owner. If not, I'll figure it out on my own."

This wasn't a random whim. I'd thought it through. But Ron didn't need to know the details.

The fewer people who knew about my plans to the Drago family, the safer it'd be-for them and for me.

This was dangerous territory, and dragging anyone else into it wasn't an option.

"Fine, fine," Ron finally relented. "I'll see what I can do."

"Thanks, Mr. Shane."

He scoffed and hung up.
