MICHAEL SCRAMBLED EGGS on the stove while I stood at the back door staring out the window at the birds building a nest in a tree a few doors down. I could feel his eyes on me now and then, but he didn’t speak. Didn’t ask me if I was okay. I wasn’t, and he knew it.

Asya was my roommate and only friend for several years. Did she know her boyfriend was out to kill me? The thought had been laughable. I didn’t believe Michael at first. Why would Dean go through all of that? Get a rival club to harass me, only for him to kill me himself? Michael tried to explain that if he succeeded, having the harassment coming from somewhere else would take the heat off of him. Besides, why would anyone suspect my roommate's boyfriend?

Even if Dean were involved, I didn’t think Asya would go along with it. Until my phone rang that morning, waking us both up from a fitful sleep. I had left my phone on the dresser, completely out of reach, so by the time I got to it, the call had gone to voicemail. It was Asya. Not wondering if I was okay, or where I was—because it had been a few days since she’d seen me—but to ask if I’d come by the apartment that afternoon. Alone. She needed some girl time she said.

Michael asked me if she’d ever done that before, and I could only shake my head. Asya and I led pretty separate lives outside our apartment. We were close friends for roommates, but rarely did we go out together. Mostly because of my schedule and because she worked into the early morning hours.

“Breakfast is ready.”

The plates sliding onto the table echoed in my mind. Everything seemed louder that morning. It was Sunday. I should have been studying. Instead I would be spending the day with Michael working on not getting myself killed.

“Thanks.” I turned from the door and took the seat he held out for me. He’d made me toast, too. Butter and jelly—the man remembered so much about me from so long ago. So many things had taken our lives in jagged turns; the fact that we were sitting at the same breakfast table still astounded me.

“Lauren.” His fork lay still on his plate. “It’s going to be all right. Nothing’s going to happen to you. I won’t let it. And now that we’ll have the protection of the club, I at least have somewhere safe to stash you while I go meet Asya at your apartment.”

I dropped my fork. “No. I don’t want you going back into the club, and I don’t want you to handle Asya. I will take care of this. It’s my own stupidity that got me in this mess, I’ll get myself out. I can’t keep depending on you to be my savior and my bodyguard.”

He reached over and held my hand, keeping silent until I looked up at him. His jaw clenched and his eyes narrowed.
