York let out a low chuckle, his eyes scanning the neon-lit street before turning back to his friends. "That time at the hotel, you really pulled me out of a tight spot. I'm someone who believes in repaying favors. Even though you and Murray called it quits, I owe you one, and I intend to pay it back."

He had been outside the bar, puffing away on a couple of cigarettes for a good twenty minutes. Had it never crossed Roseanne's mind to just give him a call directly?

Why couldn't Roseanne see it?

Was she looking down on him?

York couldn't help but curl his lip in disdain, "Looking for a reliable editor, right? I'll hook you up in a bit."

"Just returning a favor."
