"Holy fucking shit"

"What?" Noel asked curiously as he ca the instinctive need to shield my screen from his eyes But then I told myself that was stupid There was no need to keep this from him No reason at all So I turned the phone around to let hiot hold of my phone and added her name and number" I turned it slowly back to me and wondered aloud, "That’s so totally whack And how the fuck did she know you guys had been calling her Midnight Visitor?"

Unless it really was Caroline Maybe Gamble had mentioned it to her, or Ham had told Blondie, who’d told her

As I wiped a suddenly shaky hand over ed me in the shoulder "Well, aren’t you a lucky son of a bitch? Who the hell cares how she got in? She’s going to let you see her again Isn’t that what you wanted?"

"Yeah," I uess" But fuck, I couldn’t believe she’d contacted ht, I was sure that was the last I would hear froan to sweat, nervous and elated at the sa for? Write her back"

I scowled at hi to text her in public like this But, ohI would definitely be writing her back

"Write who back?" Asher asked, strolling up with his attention onhand

I scowled at hi," I said at the saot a secret adh I rolled my eyes over the ter little pictures of Caroline on her chair in art class for her Damn, I was such a loser when it came to her I’d honestly left her sweet little trinketsjust to ht be doing the saht rounds of hot, wild sex instead of stupid drawings

"Oh, really?" Hart quirked a curious eyebrow and folded his arms over his chest "Do tell"

I didn’t want to tell him shit I hated how close of a friendship he had with Caroline It irritated the piss out of uy But Ga about ht Visitor And the row

"So when do you think she broke into your phone and slipped you her number?" he asked

"How the fuck should I know?" I sent hi off"

I turned away, and Gaht my moodiness was cute I flipped them the bird over ht It was after two in theand the streets were quiet and dimly lit I yanked my phone back out of ed across the street to the parking lot where ht Visitor’s number, then I scrolled up to the C’s and checked out Caroline’s contact link I was actually expecting the two nue disappointh me I slowed to a stop on the curb and stared at Caroline’s naht Visitor’s

I shook h e and then Midnight Visitor’s nulanced up at the sky A billion stars peered down at

I couldn’t believe I’d been so sure she was Caroline

A long, drawn-out sigh eased froain, or not? It wasn’t like ht really had been a co the connection I’d felt with a woh stupid-ass e after one woirl to the list

Then I reht Visitor because she’d re her another go? No strings, great sex, so as I standing here debating withshe ho I wanted her to be, and everything would be okay This was probably as close to Caroline as I’d ever get anyway
