Summary
Mika's not the only one with an ex that lives rent-free in his mind. The sudden appearance of Renley's first love in Vampire Mountain doesn't go unnoticed by his recently acquired friend with benefits. Takes place during Bloodline, a few weeks before Paris's death. (If you haven't read Bloodline this won't make sense).

"Sire Ver Leth. Good to see you again." Egan finally interrupted rather loudly, holding his hand out to shake Mika's. And the exchange that followed was peak comedic gold, as far as Renley was concerned.
Mika glanced at Egan, down at his hand, then back up. He looked politely puzzled as though he had no idea Egan had been standing there the whole time. He reached out and accepted Egan's handshake after a hesitation, and he went about it in a way that suggested he was being handed something he didn't particularly want, such as a slimy dead fish. Renley had sat in enough meetings with Mika to know he normally gave very solid handshakes. Whatever Mika was doing was on purpose, and almost certainly for his own amusement.
"...Have we met?" Mika asked. He blinked a couple times, and flavoured it with a blank, fleeting smile that radiated insincerity. And Renley lived for it.
