LAKE
For once in my life, I did something right: leaving Winston Global to be with my wife and what I valued the most. What I shared with Maverick was more than just a contract marriage or lust, or sex. It was special.
I looked at my sleeping woman. Despite what my father put her through, she chose her peace, and I admired her for that. I grabbed my phone from my jeans. I was about to text Linden when I saw a message from Cooper.
Yes, Cooper and I exchanged messages. I wanted to make sure Maverick was okay.
COOPER: What is your plan for tomorrow?
LAKE: Why?
COOPER: It’s past midnight, dude. It’s Mave’s birthday today.
Fuck.
