"It must be horrible for you guys. Having people that care, and protecting you,' he teases, knowing that he's having a good time of it, and definitely teasing her. It's like he might talk to Mia, or even Letty once upon a time, but he's happy to have this time talking to her, playing around like this. It feels different, even if she knows who he is.

Oh but she's good though and he leans in a bit more in that arm around her, watching as Gary stammers and flushes, making a face.

"I wasn't saying anyone else is an easy score. I just... I mean, Dom doesn't race much around here."

"You're right, I don't. Except tonight. You in?"

He shifts, looking at Les like he bit into a sour candy. "You included?"

"No, she's not included," Dom says without hesitation, not even giving Les a chance. "But what should be included is the pink."

"You want to race slips? Against me? Tonight?"

Dom rolls his eyes, glad there's a crowd gathering. "Yeah, that's what I want. You in or out?"

Does he really have a choice? That shows on his face as he grumbles under his breath. "Okay. Sure. I'm in."
