And then my towel started to fall. I gripped it, which only pissed off the officer.
“Hands where I can see them!”
“But my towel?—”
I didn’t get another word out because fifty thousand volts of electricity shot through my body. I flopped on the ground like a fish, my eyes rolling back in my head with every second that passed. Finally, the pain stopped and I laid on the ground wishing I had just stayed gone.

“I can’t believeI’m in jail in a towel,” I muttered as I sat on the bench.
Cash sat beside me and huffed out a laugh. “I can’t believe I’m in jail beside you in a towel.”
“See, that was unclear. Anyone who overheard would assume you’re in a towel too. I’m the only one in that position.”
“Because you’re the only one stupid enough to run out of the spa in only a towel,” he retorted.
“I was coming after you. I couldn’t let you think that I didn’t care.”
“I know you care,” he snapped. “I was angry. I wanted some space.”
“Space from what? The situation? It won’t help the hurt you feel inside,” I said, pressing my hand to his chest.
He looked down at my hand, then his nostrils flared as he glared at me. I carefully removed my hand and rested it on my lap. This wasn’t at all how I thought my day would go.
I looked down at my feet and sighed. “You know, it’s a shame I tore up my feet after such a great pedicure.”
“Maybe you shouldn’t have run out barefoot,” Cash muttered.
“I’m serious. What was the name of the shit they used on us?”
“It was a Himalayan mask,” he answered. “It was pretty amazing.”
“And now it’s gone,” I sighed.
“I actually thought the massage was better.”
“Really?”
“Janice’s fingers were magic,” he sighed, leaning back against the wall. “Don’t tell Eva I said that.”
“I wouldn’t dare.”
“I had no idea such a small woman could have so much power.”
“Well, think of Rae. She’s tiny and could kick my ass in less than three seconds.”
He laughed at that. Thank God, he wasn’t as pissed anymore.
“So, tell me the truth,” he said, turning to face me. “What really happened out there?”
“I swear to God, Cash. Everything I told you was real.”
“All of it?” he questioned.
“What in the hell is this?”
My head whipped around at the same time as Cash’s. Lock stood on the other side of the bars, his arms crossed over his chest as he stared at us curiously.
