"Heavy night?" I scoff out resting my back against the kitchen island.

"You could say that, who are you?" She eyes be with suspicion.

"Knox, I'm visiting for a short while."

"Oh hey, I'm Maya." A smirk enters onto my lips as I turn away towards the coffee machine, so this is the one that Red's ex doesn't like.
