It had taken Mia a while to be able to come here when she decided to get sober. She had been a fixture at the club, or at any clubs in Chicago that mattered. Wherever she was partying, that’s where people wanted to be. Eventually, she came back with a few friends, mostly different people from her partying days. It was still the hottest place to be in the city. And now Mia was no longer sober, but no one really knew that. She knew better than to be anything with alcohol in it and anything she might need to take, in the privacy of a bathroom, was tucked away in a delicate gold heart necklace. She was dancing by herself when she turned around and spotted a familiar face. The woman made her way to Mateo, a smile on her lips. “Didn’t expect to see you here tonight Mateo.”
Things had been rough since Marcel had been killed. Tensions with the Sinclairs were at an all time high and some moves had been made on both sides that pointed to war breaking out any second. He was trying to channel his grief into being productive and amping up security everywhere while trying to get ready to participate in whatever offensive they were inevitably going to be delivering soon. More and more often, however, after a long day at the office Mateo found himself at a club or a bar just trying to unwind or maybe forget about things for a while. It wasn’t exactly wise but with Marcel’s death on top of Mateo’s not really dealt with grief about Maria, he was having a hard time. He seemed to be having a hard time a lot, lately. He was nursing a drink at the bar when someone he didn’t expect to see here approached him and he blinked. “Didn’t expect to see you here, either. Please tell me your bodyguards are just lurking in the wings because if you start ditching them like the rest of the family I’m locking you all in a bunker for the rest of your lives.” It was half a joke but the Costellos not respecting their security details was quickly becoming the source of all of his grey hairs.
