We were stopped at the light, and my phone vibrated with a new alert of the court details. A picture of Ralph walking into the courthouse with his head down as fans scrambled to get his autograph. I shook my head at the way people behaved when someone was on trial for a crime, yet they still wanted an autograph and picture. “We’re here!” Essence said, and I finally looked up to see us at Dave and Busters. The same place Kamden took me on our first date. “What are we doing here?” I asked. “Here to eat. Come on and stop tripping,” Essence huffed, grabbed her bag, and stepped out of the car. I rolled my eyes at her antics. I felt she was up to something, but I didn’t want to go off on her in public, so I’d wait to see what happened. She opened the door, and we walked inside.
