Exhaustion hits me the moment I step out of the car I need so as today was, and I can’t say I’h the door, Nana is sitting in the same spot I left her I suspect the only tione was to pee out the empty two-liter Coke bottle on the kitchen table The bottle was full before I left There’s a different h I think it’s the Enquirer

She takes in ht you had a cocktail party" A smirk forms "Looks like you were on thelike a word fronore the jab and head for the doorway "’Night," Ime into the bedroom

After I’ve closed and locked the door, I pull outAnything

Instead, I go to the info screen and press "BLOCK"

Because noout of me, there’s no place in my life for a second round with hi jerks me awake It’s still dark out, but I can rayish stripe in a black background I flip the lever of ht, just in ti out of Sabrina James’s drive

Blearily, I check the tilimpse of dark hair, and before I know it, I’ve pulled out in traffic behind her

I followed her to Boston last night because the roads were still icy and I orried about her And I wasn’t convinced she was going to text me After she’d come that last ti intiot the sense I could say about any filthy thing I wanted to her and she’d be co word and she’d jackrabbit out of there

Hell, she alet away I didn’t take it personally, though

I stretch my back as best as I can I haven’t slept inme the exact reason why But it was either catch a few zzzs or take a chance driving back on the slick roads I chose to sleep in ht and then takes a sharp left By the ti lot of a south Boston post office A second later, she stu a work unifor hair tied back in a ponytail

A sht as the sun, and a hard worker? Das with a silly-ass grin on my face and throw myself on ht back in the truck and drive to ca h I’ to help y state Two cups of coffee succeed in waking me up a bit, and I feel much more alert when the session breaks up around eleven

Rather than head horab a third coffee and pull out , and I’d rather do it at the coffeehouse than at hoht ask questions

I know Sabrina has classes with Dean, but Dean’s not exactly reliable when it comes to her, so I hit up the only other poli sci ood friend of le ex I’m not friends with

Me: What do u know about Sabrina Jaht ahich tells ht, or she partied so hard she never went to bed

Her: Ugh Hate her

I frown at the screen

Me: Why?

Her: b/c she’s hotter than me Bitch
