I grumbled under my breath but didn’t protest when she got into my passenger seat.
“Don’t complain when you get sick then,” I snapped.
It really wasn’t Folsom’s fault that she was a genius and I didn’t like her.
Honestly, it was my hang-up.
All my life, I’d been told that I was less because I wasn’t as smart or as outgoing as my father or my sister. Needless to say, I ended up taking that out on Folsom—though I managed to rein it in when it came to JP—because neither of them deserved it.
But fuck, the things she said and did, her outright uncaring demeanor when it came to anybody else…that was my sister, plain and simple.
My father at least had some caring in him. Though that caring only extended to my sister.
“I thought for sure you would fight this more.” She buckled herself in.
“I feel like there are a lot of things that I could do when it comes to you that wouldn’t matter,” I admitted. “You are like a fungus that just won’t go away.”
“Herpes,” she chirped. “Always popping up out of nowhere when you least expect it.”
I rolled my eyes.
“How did you even know?” I asked.
“I have your phone tapped,” she said. “I told you that I wanted to help you.”
She had.
Months ago, she’d come to me when she’d gotten bored and expressed an interest in helping me with my work. I’d told her a resounding no.
I just couldn’t handle being around her.
Not when everything that she was set my teeth on edge.
“Well, then it’s time to get over it, Kobe Sano.”

Good men still exist. Your eyelashes just won’t let you see them.
-Folsom to a customer
FOLSOM
“Why is it that you can’t stay in your lane?”
I looked over at my best friend.
“Why would I want to stay in my lane when everyone else’s lane is a whole lot more fun?” I asked.
My best friend Morrigan was my best friend for a reason. She took me as is. Allowed me to have my faults. Didn’t complain when I got too far in her business—or anyone else’s business, for that matter.
She loved me for me, and that was what I needed.
Someone that didn’t care when I invaded her privacy and didn’t care that I broke the law.
What she cared about was the way that I always helped people. That I was always there for her.
“That may be true,” she said. “But one day, he’s going to kill you.”
