JESSE

And this is why no one misses you

ARIYO

Shut up, you know you miss me

JESSE

Hard to miss someone that's in the next room

JAXON

Wait you're at Jesse’s?

ARIYO

Rain trapped me here

JESSE

What he means by that is he didn't want to be alone in the storm

Big baby

ARIYO

Fuck you

Rolling my eyes, I pushed off the bed and was going to grab another glass of bourbon when my phone rang.

Benji.

I grabbed it and answered, “What's up?”

“This is going to be a random question, but is Savannah with you?”

A slow breath left my chest as something shifted—quick, sharp, undeniable.

“What?”

“Answer the question, Cage.”

“Why the hell would she be?”

He was silent for a bit before he cursed under his breath.

“Okay, don't freak out, but I think something happened.”

“What the fuck are you talking about?”

“Well, she… she asked for your address earlier.She told me she was on her way there, but—”

My pulse picked up, something dangerously close to anxiety settling in my chest.

“Benji, what the fuck?It's pouring out there!”

“I offered to drive her, and she said it was fine, and my father wanted me in a meeting.I told her to text me when she got to you, but I haven't heard anything and it's been hours.”
