“Don’t put it off too long,” Luna suggests. “It’ll only get harder, and then he’ll wonder why you didn’t tell him sooner, which will be one more thing to argue about.”
“Right.” I bite my lip. “Okay, I’ll tell him in a day or two, tops.”
“In the meantime,” Sarah adds, “what do you need?”
“I really want some chocolate cake right now.”
“You should say the baby wants it,” Luna says. “Then the calories don’t count.”
“Holy shit.” I swallow hard before flinging myself back on the bed and covering my face with a pillow.
“Don’t smother yourself.” Sarah takes the pillow off my face.
“I’m having ababy.How in the hell did this happen?”
“You don’t know?” Luna asks.
“Don’t make me hurt you.”

Dear Diary,
I lost my virginity. It sucked. The end.
XO,

ChapterSixteen
Apollo
“Hey, it’s June.” It makes me smile that she starts her voice mail by saying it’s her, as if I don’t have caller ID. “Just letting you know that I won’t be over tonight. I’m going to hang with Grandma for a few days. She’s been lonely. See you later.”
I frown, listen to the message again, and then toss my phone aside.
It’s been three days since I’ve seen June outside of work, and it looks like it’s going to stay that way for a little while. She’s been distant, and if I didn’t know any better, I’d say she’s actually trying to avoid me, but I have no idea why.
When I do see her at work, she doesn’t meet my eyes and barely speaks to me. There are no coy looks, no flirtations, and absolutely zero stolen touches.
My phone rings, and I grab it, hoping it’s June, but it’s Wolfe.
“Whatcha doing?” he asks.
“Nothing. Just got home from work. What’s up?”
“I thought I’d invite some guys over to the barndominium tonight. We can shoot some pool and have some beers and stuff.”
“Will there be food?”
“Of course, there will be food. All-you-can-eat pizza.”
“Let’s do it. When?”
“Come over now.”
“See you in a few.”
