The Playroom

**ROMANY**

Dinner is interesting. For the very first time since arriving here, Simone has been invited to dine with us. Apparently this is her last night here. Tomorrow she'll be heading to Mickey's with Bruno. That fact is more than a little depressing, but in light of the fact that I intend to disappear tomorrow at midnight, maybe it's for the best. I know that I asked a favor of her and she promised me she'd do it, but I can't hold her to it anymore. I refuse to stand in the way of anyone's happiness. Besides, if I *do* end up *missing* I'm sure she'll hear about it. Even from two hours away.

She catches my eye and the two of us share a smile that is equal parts sadness and joy. She blows me a kiss and I blow her one back, but I ignore Bruno altogether because his face still makes me want to scrunch up my nose. *I know one thing, Pinch better treat her right.*

"Good to see you smiling again, doll," Mickey comments, his eyes glinting with relief.

Damien and Alex are both still in with the doctor, so I'm seated in Alex's chair, with Tiny to my left and Mickey to my right. According to Mickey, Alex needed x-rays and Damien is sleeping off whatever he was given during surgery. *And yes, the surgery was apparently performed somewhere in this house.*

Crazy fucking mobsters, I swear. It figures that Alex DeMarco would have an urgent care in his fucking basement.

*Just. Wow.*

*I wonder if I'll still get to see the mysterious Playroom tonight.*

Just that thought is enough to pull me back in time. To that day that I shared myself with both Tiny and Mickey. *Fuck, that was hot.* Biting my lip, my eyes wander over the pair of them. Two men, usually so in-sync, that suddenly seem much like strangers.
