“Home!” I tell him as I take a staggered breath. “I went home!”
“Yeah?” He nods, eyes like slits now. “To who?”
“What?” I shake my head at him, confused.
“You give Rush a call?”
I scowl at him. “He’s in New York.”
“Cavan?”
“San Fran.” I give him a dark look as I cross my arms over my chest. “See, unlike some people, when things go astray for me I don’t just fuck the first person I see.”
“No, I know—” He nods, glaring over at me. “You fuck their best friends.”
“Oi—” Henry growls.
BJ whacks Jonah in the chest. “Better watch it, bro — she’ll be coming for you next.”

But he did, so fuck it.
It rolls in over me like a cloud.
My eyes go dark and if there were curtains, they’d be flapping. The water would be choppy and the animals would start behaving all peculiar, frantically searching for cover. Good. They should.
BJ frowns, sensing the shift in the air.
Batten down the hatches, ring the town bell.
He swallows. “What’s that face?”
I shake my head at him as I push past him to leave.
“Where are you going?” he calls after me.
I’m going to Central Park at midnight.

Hey
Hey.
Are you out tonight?
Yeah.
Club Haus.
Stay there.
Ok.
Why?
