But what bothers Vincent is why he is smiling after they left Rose.They just dropped Sharon a while ago, so for that reason, he was skeptical if the smile on his face is because of Sharon or the Rose of a girl.Vincent took everything in him to avoid himself from asking, but he couldn't because the next thing he was asking questions."Boss, is there something funny about the girl? You have been smiling since we left there?"John diverts his attention to him, rubbing his thumb, the smile still on his face."Have I? If you must know, I'm not smiling because of her, I just recalled something wifey did, and can't stop myself from smiling."

We need the money to fly out of this city, but first, I'm going to have a taste of her for days, before I call her father-in-law."The two men looked at themselves and back to their
