“I came to apologize and bring you home,” Boone said.

“How’d you even know I was here? Shit, have you bugged my phone, you creeper?” Hedra said.

“He prolly injected you with a microchip while you were sleeping,” Shay said. “That’s a thing now, you know.”

“I didn’t bug your phone or,” Boone scowled at Shay, “chip you. Grayson told me you were here.”

“Narc,” Shay said. She rubbed Hedra’s face again as she stared at Boone. “You want me to kick his ass, babe?”

“Nah.” Hedra squinted at Boone. “He’s gonna drive me home and save me spending money on an Uber ride because he’s a jerkface mcjerky face.”

“That’s why I’m here,” Boone said. “To take you home. I know you’re pissed at me, and you have every right, but ignoring my texts isn’t cool. I was worried about you, little lamb.”

“He calls you little lamb?” Shay clasped her hands between her breasts. “Oh, that is so adorable. You’re adorable, Boone.”

She reached out to pat his shoulder and smacked him on the ear. “Oops, sorry.” She turned back to Hedra. “He’s adorable, Hedra.”

“No, he’s a jerkface mcjerky face.” Hedra grabbed the wall for support as Shay giggled.

“Okay, but also adorable and with a super great ass, am I right?”

“His ass is okay,” Hedra said begrudgingly. She slung her arm around Shay’s shoulders. “Thanks for letting me get drunk with you.”

“And high,” Shay said. “Can’t forget the high part.” She kissed Hedra’s cheek. “Love you, babe.”

“Love you too.” Hedra staggered toward Boone, not objecting when he put his arm around her waist. “Let’s go, Boone.”

“Are you good?” Boone asked Shay. “Maybe you should come back to my place for the night.”

“Ooh, your boy is kinky,” Shay said to Hedra. “Just straight up asking for a threesome.”

Boone rolled his eyes. “No, I just don’t want you choking to death on your own vomit in the night.”

“Gross,” Shay said. “Also, I’m not that drunk, and I never throw up.” She patted her flat stomach. “I once ate three pounds of nachos and digested every bit like a champ.”

Boone laughed. “That’s great. You sure you’re good?”

Shay waved him off. “I’m fine. Take your little lamb home and tuck her into bed.”

“I will,” Boone said. “Good night, Shay.”

“Night. Call me in the morning, Hedra, and we’ll compare hangovers,” Shay said.

Hedra waved at her as Boone led her outside. She breathed deeply in the fresh air as Boone walked her slowly to his car. He stopped beside a dark SUV, and the driver lowered the window. He had short dark hair, pretty dark eyes, and crazy long lashes, and he gave her a brief once-over.

“Hey, I’m Hedra,” she said.

“Max,” he said.

“I like your eyelashes,” she said.

“Thanks.” He glanced at Boone. “We good, or you need me to watch the other one?”

“We’re good. Thanks, man,” Boone said.

Max nodded and started the SUV before driving away.

“Who was that?” Hedra asked.
