Right then and there, I decided Zadie was cool as hell. I’d been leaning that way, but that had sealed it for me. She had just seen some very real shit go down that was clearly outside her comfort zone and askedmeif I was okay. She wasn’t judging me or distancing herself from me.
Z was a real one for sure.
“No.” I shook my head hard. “I’m not. I’m pissed off, but I’m not in danger.”
The text message burning up my phone said otherwise, but Zadie didn’t need to know that. This was my new life, my chance to rise above the shitty station I’d been born into. So there were a few bumps, it happened.
