Chapter 61

“This means Novotny is going to be my father-in-law.”

He burst out laughing, reached across to take my hand, and brought it to his mouth. “I do love you, Mark.”

“Yeah, well, I love you too, in spite of the fact Novotny is part of the deal.”

Quinn leaned closer, took a piece of the fish from my plate, and offered it to me.

“You’re feeding me?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Okay, just wanted to be certain.” I opened my mouth and let him slide the haddock in. The flavor burst on my tongue, and I couldn’t help moaning.

“Good?”

I had to finish chewing before I could talk—the fish was almost melt-in-your-mouth tender. “Are you kidding? This is fantastic.” I’d only ever had something this good when Tío Ze had made it, shortly before my old lady chucked him out.

“I’m glad.” He took a bite for himself before he fed me another.
