"Okay," Chris says, through chattering teeth "Okay So I slept with her for a fewBut she went fucking psycho onto cut my balls off"

I scoop up Chris’s towel and drape it over his shivering shoulders He doesn’t seem to notice He’s on a roll He’s cli toward the house, Cooper and Lucy and I following behind, like an entourage after…

Well, some famous rock star

"It started , it’s like he can’t stop Or even slon You have to aduy had done the trick "A bunch of guys and I got in trouble for so see the doronna get kicked outta school So souys, they were like, ‘Chris, put the moves on her,’ ’cause, I dunno, I was a little older than they were, and I had this reputation with the girls, you know?"
