Chapter 24 Brooklyn

Jayde finishes saying good morning to Aden and stops at our little table on the way out.

"This beauty must be Brooklyn," she says as she arrives, giving me a big smile.

She has a thick New York accent, a little like Fran Drescher, and I can't help but be charmed by her sweet, brusque nature.

"It's nice to meet you," I say.

"Oh baby," she says, wrinkling her nose at me. "I already know all about you. Big Boy over there told me everything," she says, nodding at him over her shoulder.

I blush again. Big Boy?

"Only the best. I'll catch you two babies later," she says, swooping down to give Hudson a kiss on the

cheek as she goes. "And you-" she points a manicured nail at me, "-you're going shopping with me later, okay? Okay."

She leaves without waiting for a response.
