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.
