Normally he grabbed midday meal with the Pantera outside near the bayou, but today was different. Ashe was in labor and everyone was on edge. No one wanted to sit still long enough to eat anything. And then there was the fact that he had a guest in his home. A guest. His nostrils flared. What was he doing, calling her that? Having her here under the guise of finding out information about the Pantera’s enemies when, even now, his puma purred beneath his skin?

Stepping back, he assessed the meal he’d prepared for them. Fried chicken, one of the Geeks had made for Xavier and Amalie.

It was the one thing Aristide could actually make with success, and without a kitchen fire.
