“My feet are starting to hurt.”
He paused and scanned our surroundings. “How much further?”
“I don’t know. I was following you.”
We both looked at the unfamiliar buildings. The fact that the sun was coming up confused me. “What day is it?”
Cars were starting to drive on the road. I glanced down at my white satin heels, which were now black and covered in grime. “Aw, man.”
“I’m gettin’ kinda tired.”
“Me too.” I yawned. “How much money do you have left?”
“Why?”
“Because we need to figure out how to get home.” I was broke and completely at his mercy. “I could sell my blood.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Ways to make money. I have blood.”
“Where do you think we are, the underbelly of a vampire apocalypse?”
I shrugged. “Where are we?”
“No clue.”
Then I saw it.
Angels sang and trumpets blared as the sun crested the buildings and shined down on a lone payphone in the middle of a vacant parking lot.
“Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!” I raced across the lot toward that stunning relic of technology. “Give me a quarter!”
He ran after me and shook his head. “That’s not going to work.”
“Ew!” I retracted my hand the second it touched something sticky. I gagged and used the material of my unicorn shirt to lift the receiver. “Ha! Dial tone!”
“Who the hell are you going to call?”
It occurred to me that I didn’t know Hale’s phone number. “What’s your brother’s number?”
“I have no idea.”
“Your dad’s?”
He shook his head.
“Damn it, we have to call someone to get us!”
“What about Elle?”
“Yes!” I nearly cried. “We can call Elle! I need a quarter.”
He searched his pockets. “I have cash, credit cards, a condom, and three beer caps.”
“A condom? Seriously?”
“What? It’s wedding week.”
