But I make out George, Tammy, Alexa and Taggie sitting alone by the bar. My eyes sweep the remaining tables. Scandelous and the film crew are nowhere to be seen. I guess Deven kept his word then. He’s somehow got them to leave. Though I have no idea what fucked up deal he made with Keisha to make that happen. Adam gives me a knowing smile, and propels me towards George and her friends. Taggie and Alexa look at little downhearted as we approach. I guess they were enjoying Deven being in the bar. But George looks happy enough. As they spot Adam, all the girls’ faces flash from incredulity to amazed delight. “Adam,” breathes George, visibly blossoming. “You came to my birthday? I don’t believe it.” “Happy birthday,” replies Adam, leaning forward and kissing her on both cheeks. George looks as though she’s been transported to a new level of bliss.
