“I’m sorry,” she sobs. “I didn’t know who else to call.”

“Shhh, it’s okay. I’ll come back. Are you on campus now?”

“I just got back,” she sniffles. “I’m sitting in my car because Catherine has a scrunchie on the door, so she’s fucking someone in there.”

“Jesus, Fi, I feel like this might be an okay time to interrupt.”

“Charlie, I amnota cockblocker,” she says indignantly. She sounds a little more like herself, and I hold back a snicker.

“I’m going home to get my stuff now, okay? Then I’ll drive back to campus. Stay with me tonight.” Trey’s hand on my arm causes me to look up. “One sec, Fi.” I press the Mute button.

“We’ll all go back tonight,” Trey says. “She can stay in my room. You can stay there with her if you need to.”

“Are you guys sure?” I glance at Link, who nods, and then back to Trey.

“Of course,” Trey scoffs. “Bennett, your bed is tiny. You’ll both be more comfortable at our place.”

I smile gratefully at them and unmute my phone. “Fi? The guys are coming back with me. We’ll all stay with them tonight.”

“Really?” she asks, her voice thick with gratitude.

“Yeah, it’s totally cool.”

“Please stay with us, Flowers!” Trey says loudly over my shoulder.

I push him away, rolling my eyes, but Fi giggles into the phone. “Okay,” she says.

“See you soon,” I say, hanging up. I look between the guys. “That was really nice of you both.”

Link throws his arm around my shoulders and kisses my forehead. “She’s your best friend. She’s always welcome.”

My heart.

“Are you going to tell her what happened?” Trey asks quietly, and I shake my head.

“No, I don’t think so. She has enough to stress about right now.” I go to stand and realize I’m wearing nothing but Link’s shirt. “Crap, no underwear. Wearing just my jeans should be super fun.”

“No, wait. I gotcha!” Trey jumps up from the bed and leaves the room. I look over at Link in confusion, and he just shrugs, but his eyes crinkle like something’s funny.

Trey comes running back, several colorful scraps of fabric in his hands. “What’s your style? I’ve got a thong here and bikinistyle. Hmm, oh shit, these are crotchless—probably don’t want those.” He tosses them aside.

I stare at him in horror. “Why do you have women’s underwear?” Then my eyes widen. “Wait, are you offering me discarded underwear from your booty calls?!”

Lincoln loses his mind for the second time today, doubling over with laughter at my outburst. I glare at him, then cross my arms over my chest and turn my shocked gaze back to Trey.

He runs a hand through his golden locks, looking confused. “What?”

“I’m not wearing someone’s used underwear, Atreyu Walker.”

“Oh shit, she full-named you.” Link says between laughs.

No!” Trey shakes his head adamantly. “These are brand new. I just have a collection of new underwear just in case…”

“In case of what?” I ask, raising an eyebrow.

“In case things with a girl get…spicy,” he says haltingly, his cheeks flushing. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen Trey flustered, and I have to say, it’s adorable. “Girl underwear rips so easily….” He looks down at the underwear in his hand like an embarrassed child.

“For fuck’s sake. Give me the bikini ones.”
