“What if we get caught? We could go to jail, Lane!”
“Good thing you know a lawyer. And I think he owes you one,” he says with a sassy wink.
“You are the worst brother ever. I’m the good twin. You’re corrupting me!” I shout.
“Quit being so dramatic. Now, this is for you.” He hands over a plastic card with Lacey’s Love Emporium across it.
“What for?” I ask.
“Duh! How are we gonna know who little Miss Lei-on-me is? You’re going to go in there and look around. when a customer goes in, stay close and listen. then, buy something and follow her out.”
“Nuh uh,” I say, shaking my head. “You do it. I’m not buying anything from there.”
I try putting the card in his hand but he pushes back at me.
“Oh lort. Get over yourself, you damn prude. Buy yourself a new B.O.B or something kinky. Oooh. Buy some crotchless panties.” He claps his hands rapidly and his eyes light up with excitement.
“Ew. No. I’m not buying those. You do it. You’re a skank. Buy something you can use with Kyle.”
He rolls his eyes. “Nope. It has to be you. The clerk already saw me. It’d be weird if I didn’t know who she was after saying she was my friend. Just fucking buy something.”
“Fine,” I concede and blow out an annoyed huff.
I grab the door handle to exit the car but Lane stops me.
“Wait,” he says, grabbing my arm. “Not yet. We have like…an hour. Before you do need to make a phone call.”
I draw my brows together and ask, “call who?”
“Roman’s slutty assistant.” My eyes go wide and I shake my head. “Oh yes, honey. You’re going to confront that bitch and let her know that you know about her little ‘oral presentation’ she gave your husband.”
“Lane…I-I can’t do that. She’ll say something to Rome,” I tell him, my voice filled with panic.
“Then warn her that you’ll cut a bitch if she does. Make her fearyoumore than God. Do it,” he insists and picks up my phone, holding it out to me.
I stare at the damn thing sitting in the palm of his hand like it might burn me if I touch it. I can’t do this. No way. What would I even say? My breathing turns heavy and my hands start to shake.
“I can hear what you’re thinking. We’re twins. Remember? I know you better than you know yourself. Now…call,” he insists.
I blow out a deep breath and take a moment to think about what I’m going to say. I close my eyes and a vision of Angela on her knees, her mouth wrapped around Roman’s-
“Ok,” I say, rage burning in my eyes.
I touch the contact for Roman’s office and wait for her to answer.
“Speaker,” Lane whispers.
The line clicks and I hear, “Roman Hart’s office. Angela speaking.”
“H-hi Angela.” My voice squeaks and I clear my throat.I can do this. “This is Luna Hart.”
“Hi Luna. How are you?” Her nasally voice makes my skin crawl.
Any apprehension I had about confronting her simply vanishes.
“Well, not so great,” I responded.
“Oh gosh. I’m sorry to hear that. Um,” she pauses. “Roman isn’t here. He left early.”
