Fluff Among Thieves [Uncharted 4]

One True Love (Rafe Adler)

"I'm going to marry him."

"Why?"

"Because he's my one true love."

Your friend makes the most disgusting retching noise you've ever heard.

"You're crazy," she starts before taking a sip of wine, "Like even crazier than those Drake boys we hang around. How's Sam taking it?"

Silence. You were pretty close with Sam, although your friend was a step ahead of you in their relationship.

"You didn't tell him, did you?"

You tap your fingers on the wooden table at a quick pace. "It's just best if I didn't, and we won't be telling anyone where we're getting married. It's a private ceremony."

Her eyes look hurt as she sips from her drink again. "You won't even invite me? I took a bullet for you, I almost died. I ought to see you marry someone, even if it is that rich prick."

"Oh come on, you'd marry Sam in a heartbeat if he asked you. You guys make quite the team. Even Nate gets a little jealous when you take out four guys with one grenade."

"Enough about me, you're getting married, but I'm still gonna send you flowers, and condoms. I'm not ready to be an aunt yet." she laughs.

Your phone vibrates; it's a text from Rafe asking if you're ready to drive to the airport. "I gotta go, just tell Sam I had to accompany Rafe on some shareholder business."

She gets up, moving to your side of the table to give you a big hug. "You won't forget about us, right?"

"Hell no, I'll still be around, as long as treasure and lost cities exist, I think Rafe's gonna have his hands full trying to make a name for himself." you state.

"That's what I was afraid of. Sam's got another lead, and I think there might be a big score somewhere."

"I won't tell Rafe. Promise."

She lets go of you and you grab your things before leaving. You give her one last wave before shutting the door, leaving the woman along with a half-full bottle of red wine.
