章 86: Pieces in Place

"There's another thing," Lilith said as she bit her lower lip and looked up at me as if she had committed a grave crime.

"It can't be that bad," I chuckled.

She sighed and shook her head.

"Amazing?" I teased with a grin on my lips.

"Okay, what is it?" I asked.

"I want to go after Jason and Janet," she announced.

"Fuck, finally." I pumped my fist in the air as my wife looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"What?" I asked her.

"You seem a little bit too excited about going after my ex," she grumbled.

"Can you blame me?" I asked. "I hate that he hurt you, that he had you and took for granted what he had."

She blushed and looked away.

It seemed that I had said the right thing, one point for Alexi.

"I want you to help me," she said.
