“Indigo Lovejoy was one,” I reply immediately. “And, unlike the rest of you, he didn’t laugh when you said what you said. IlikeIndigo. He’s a nice guy.”
“You have a good memory.”
“Hell yes, I do.”
“Who else was there?”
“Tanner wasn’t there. I don’t know where he was that day. There was a kid named Mark. Or Mike. Mick?”
“Mitch,” he supplies. “I haven’t thought about that guy in years. His family moved away in the tenth grade. I wouldn’t know where to find him.”
“You’re clearly not a woman. We can find anyone on the internet in about ten minutes if we have their first name and cup of coffee. But it’s fine. I’m just kidding.”
“I’m not. I’ll call Indigo tomorrow.”
I laugh and shake my head. “No, don’t make it weird.”
“We’re way past that, sweetheart.”
My heart stumbles at the term of endearment, so I close my eyes again, keeping it to myself.
“If I fall asleep in here, don’t let me drown.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve got you.”
Knock,knock, knock.
I open a bleary eye and then sit up straight in the bed in a panic.
“Shit.” I shove at Apollo, who’s still asleep. “Wake up. Someone’s at the door.”
“I’ll get it.”
“Shh,” I hiss. “No, you have to hide.”
“Fuck that.”
“Hide, you moron.”
“Just crack the door open.” He flings the covers over his head, and I blow out a breath, wrap myself in the robe the inn offers guests to use, and walk to the door. After taking a slow breath, I open the door just a crack.
“Hi.”
Luna grins at me. “Hey. Good morning. Sorry if I woke you, but I wanted to bring you some coffee to get your day started. We’ll be serving breakfast starting in thirty minutes, but you’ll have a couple of hours to come down for that in case you want to sleep some more. I know we were all up late.”
“Uh-huh.” I eye the coffee.
“I’ll just bring this in and set it down.”
“It’s okay. You can set it there, and I’ll get it.”
Luna narrows her eyes at me. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, you just woke me up, and I’m out of sorts. Thanks for the coffee.”
“You’re welcome.” She sets the tray on the floor, but before she turns to leave, she asks, “Hey, have you heard from Apollo?”
“Uh, no. Why would you think that? I just woke up.”
