I look over at Spencer, hoping I’heavy froht

Antoine doesn’t move, Ronin just stares at h sense to speak "I’ll get the papers"

"Rook, I think you need to wait on that, we can talk about this to with you I got all the details froht" Because, I don’t add, I’ll be daet stuck here with an assle who has pushedhile he was angry at another guy

Elise callsat me like idiots, so I walk off, then close the door behind et inside

"Sit," Elise says

I do

"Nohat happened? Last night you and Ronin were practically screwing each other in the rain, and today you disappear with Spencer and coot nothing to do with Spencer, if that’s what you’re after I’uy in my life, and to be honest, Elise, you’re the one arnedyou the sarab a pen off the desk and start ski the stipulations The contract looks like the last one so I assunated places

I throw it down on the desk and take a deep breath and say in et paid for the TRAGIC contract Can you give me an approximate time frame for that?"

She just sits on the corner of the desk frowning at me for a few seconds "We have three more shoots to do, you can do theive you half Then the other half once the final contract is delivered But it will be a long day of non-stop work, Rook, and it’s not the sweet kind either"

"I’ll be fine What time should I report?"

"Six AM"

I don’t even nod this time, I’m just ready to be alone So I spin one froht to my apartment I set my phone to five AM so I can wash the crack whore off me before Elise and Josie can turn around and otten all about the paint job Spencer did on my back yesterday, and I can’t quite reach it to scrub it off in the tub It doesn’t help that I have to hold that damn shower head the whole tih, because I’m pretty sure this will piss everyone off if this is a naked day I try to look at it in the ht be a rook or a raven, but it also has lettering down at the bottom, near the small of my back, and that is way too little to read backwards

Well, what can I do?

Nothing, that’s what

When I walk out on the terrace it’s still slightly dark, but all the lights inside the studio are on I go inside and Elise, already busy with that tiny blonde girl, points to the dressing room and says, "See Ronin first"
