"Life is a dancer and you're the dance."

XXIX.

D E A N

Valentina lights a cigarette as she leans on the balcony railing.

"Want one too?", she asks and I shake my head.

Val frowns, taking a drag.

"Tony and I made a deal, no alcohol for him and no cigarettes for me.", she smiles softly looking at the horizon.

"I'm really happy for you, lil bro."

"Thanks.", I grumble out and she giggles.

Valentina sighs, turning to me, "I want to see him, Logan I mean."

"Really?", Valentina nods.

"He is our brother, an awful one but...",I hum, "I'm over the fact that he lefts us. We build us a new family, I just want to talk to him."

"You're calmer than I was when I found out.", I tell her.

"Oh ask Daniel, when I first found out, I had a little date with a bat and our dumpster.", I snort at the mental image.

"Guess it runs in the family. I'll text him."

Me
Hey, it's Dean.
Tomorrow 5pm me and Val are coming over.
She wants to talk to you.

7:45 PM

Logan
Looking forward to it :)

The next day we make our way to Logan.

I look to the side and I see Valentina biting her nails.

"I thought you weren't nervous?", I ask her and she stops abruptly.

"I'm not.", she crosses her arms over her chest, as I give her a pointed look, "I'm not! Okay maybe a little tiny bit."

"Hey, it's totally understandable. Hell, I would have driven straight back if it weren't for Tony dragging me towards the front door."

Valentina laughs, "I can imagine it."

We arrive at the house and make our way to the front door.
