Chapter Thirteen: Long into the Night
Steve's cheek splits open when the marine's fist slams into his face and he staggers back with the force of it. Someone hollers across the bar and the pub erupts into chaos.
"Esteban!" he hears through the ringing in his ears, and turns in time to see James vaulting over an up-turned table before landing a punch square along his attacker's jaw.
Steve spits blood along the beer-strewn floor and smiles brilliantly at James. "Came for the party?"
James dodges another marine's fist and stumbles back beside Steve. "Wouldn't miss it," he hoots.
Steve's laughter carries long into the night.
