Chapter 53: Chapter 53

Liam didn’t say much and eyed Pad, which made him uncomfortable. “So how do you know Wayne?” asked Liam.

Jack’s brow raised, waiting for Pad’s response as Pad spit out, “From the gym. Working out.”

“Really, cuz I work out the same time as Wayne. He hangs around Frankie a lot.”

Jack approached Pad. “Everything okay?”

“Yeah,” Pad whispered. “Why?”

His eyebrow arched before Jack continued. “Nothing. You just got real quiet for a moment there.”

As he made it, Matt whistled. “That’s two in a row man, glad I didn’t bet you,” Matt said.

“You guys want the table?” Liam asked.
