Chapter 53 The Witnesses

• Adrian POV
• I hear about the diner from three different people before Tyler even opens his mouth, and every version of the story is better than the last.
• Lopez tells me first, in the hallway outside the film room, with the specific energy of someone who found something genuinely funny and can't hold it. "Heard your girl shut down some guys at Mel's this morning. Like, completely shut them down. Just — yeah. I'm that girl, now order or get out." He shakes his head, grinning. "Cold-blooded."
