Sylvie really wasn't thinking about her birthday when Cade asked her to meet him outside. She thought this might be when they were going to sit down and discuss the "breakup". She wasn't looking forward to this. She knew the breakup was necessary but she kind of liked dating him, even if it was fake. She didn't have worry about Jax and Alfie and

Bolly's ability to immediately obtain a stacked plate of sausage rolls at any gathering that offered them was unparalleled.

"I know! And I'm gonna do it anyway."

"Well, I appreciate it," she said. "I really do want it."
