Possibly an aunt or uncle to Marek could be her family's lawyer? His father is an Assistant DA, and his brother is a private practice lawyer, but young and new to the BAR. So unlikely to be an exclusive lawyer for a well to do family yet.
Yeah, that definitely could work with Desi. He has an upscale restaurant he runs that she could frequent, certainly. And it would be good not to associate with him much. lol. Unless she wanted to play around with a bad boy. ;) lol. He's a manwhore now that he isn't married anymore. Well, a classy and very dominant manwhore/playboy... (The man was celibate for 16 years....)
Aran is a tragic thing, but he's dealing with it. He's a strong character mentally.
LOL. Bethanie may have cackled in my head at that. No... her uncle's bar isn't classy. It's a definite low-end blue collar worker bar. Not quite a dive, but def not classy. I mean, the clothes she wears while working the bar... XD Bethanie also loves flirting and accepts properly performed kisses as tips.
