The decision is taken out of my hands when Bodie abruptly removes his hand and rises frohly around the table, walking swiftly toward the exit door

“Get it, Bodie,” someone calls out from the table behind us Sal maybe?

I have no clue where he’s taking me, but wherever it is, I hope it’s not far We leave The Apart a left followed by an iht down the hall to The Silo

He pushes open the first door we co on a silk-covered otten started There are a few people sitting on a couch in front of the glass wall looking in, idly sipping wine and talking while the action unfolds

“Want privacy now, huh?” I ask as he turns to look at me
