Chapter 24 Brooklyn

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

"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?
