“So he asked you basically nothing about yourself?” Danny asked in my ear, but he was definitely looking for confirmation rather than denial.

Once back at the hotel, I had gotten my mom up to the room where she managed to get herself stripped and into her pajamas, washed her face, swallowed the water and ibuprofen I shoved at her, and then passed out face first into the fluffy white pillows on the bed.

Considering her degree of drunkenness, I was really proud of her mastery of basic motor skills.

I followed suit, divested myself of my “going out” clothes, tied my hair back, washed my face, and then settled on the in-room wing chair to do my obligatory (Right.) phone call to Danny.

“Well, technically that’s true. But he was there, on the outskirts while we were talking directly to other people. It was really a group conversation, so while he may not have asked me directly, he heard me talking to other people,” I answered, trying to explain away his worries and kind of butchering the delivery. “Plus, that’s what a first date is for—getting to know someone. Duh.”

Danny heaved a weighty sigh, clearly tiring of the subject.

“I don’t have to talk about this stuff with you, Dan-o,” I said in deference to his obvious unease.

“Yes, you do, Hales. Don’t you dare start keeping any of this shit from me,” he answered softly. But there was a little gravel in his voice, giving away the strength of his conviction.

“Oh..kay,” I answered, not really sure where to go from there.

Another deep sigh from Danny later, he started talking again, the once present tension gone from his silky deep timber. “So what else happened? I know that the night had to be more eventful than scoring a date.”

I couldn’t even muster up any fake bristle at his implication because, frankly, he was right. The night had been eventful. “Well, Allison officially took the title of troublemaker for the night. While I was a perfect lady, she got completely shit-faced.”

My ear practically rang thanks to the volume of his scoff. “Hales, I highly doubt you were a perfect lady.”

Outraged, I protested, “Hah! I most certainly was a perfect—”

“Hales,” he cut me off.

“Fine,” I grumbled, fully aware that classy ladies didn’t say the f-word all the time. “What did you do tonight?” I asked, adding, “You fucking Know It All,” at a substantially muted volume.

“I fear the two of you in Vegas,” he said instead of answering, either not hearing the use of my creative nickname license or just ignoring it.

“Just let it go, you little girl. We’ll be fine,” I told him, my eyes drifting over a passed out Allison.

He barked his disbelieving laughter directly into my eardrum before giving it up and moving on. “I told you what I was going to do tonight.”

Wait. He said he was going to read. “You started reading? The first Rock Chick?” I asked for confirmation.

“Sure did. Indy sounds hot, but she’s also fucking crazy.”

“Oh, what, and Lee’s not?” I protested.
