“I’ down the bar nervously “I haven’t said anything to anyone, because I prefer my privacy”

“Right,” I spat

“It didn’t work out,” she said through her teeth “There’s no victi a colossal dick Go home, Mack”

I laughed, irritated as hell that I couldn’t get a rise out of her I wanted—needed—son that she was as fucked up over all this as I was I’d given her time to think shit over, and I’d kept my distance, but this was complete bullshit

“You’re seriously throwin’ it all away,” I said flatly “Because I don’t want ured you were more mature than that”

“From what I can see, the only immature one here is you,” she replied “Finish your drinks They’re on the house Then get the fuck out”

She walked away before I could say anything else It was then that I started to feel stupid as fuck Jesus Christ, rong with me?

I threw a couple of twenties on the bar and left, not bothering to finish anything

When I got ho on our front porch

“Shit, sorry,” I called as I shut my bike off

“No probleot here”

“You got your key?” I asked Kara

“She already put her stuff inside,” Farrah answered “But she wasn’t sure if she was supposed to have company inside”

I looked at Kara in surprise

“Alright,” Farrah said “I wasn’t sure if you wanted us in your house when you weren’t there No big deal”

“For future reference,” I said as I reached theo inside, or she can stay on her own”

“I can?” Kara asked excitedly

“When I know you’re comin’ home and I’m on my way?” I replied “Sure”

I ignored the way Kara rolled her eyes

“I’d love a cup of coffee, thanks,” Farrah said as she got to her feet

“I didn’t ask,” I said as I opened the front door

“Could’ve sworn I’d heard you,” she said easily, following me inside

The girls i led as Iat me Farrah was tiny, closer to Kara’s size than Rose, but shewo to do The only thing that gave un she liked to pull out when shit got rowdy at the clubhouse

“What’d you do?” she finally asked as I set a cup of coffee down in front of her

“Why does everyone think I did somethin’?” I asked in frustration “Why don’t you ask your niece what happened?”

“She’s not talking”

“Then why don’t you respect that?”

Farrah laughed “Not the way it works, kid”

“I’er than you”

“You’ll always be thata sip of her coffee “Even if ere the sae—which we aren’t Not even close”
