Chapter 13

I didn’t stick around the club for much longer after that. I cleaned up the place a bit, moved the broken furniture off to the side. Picked up the broken glass without injuring myself this time. Go me.

I got Lenny and Janie to drive me to Thierry’s townhome, but he wasn’t there.

No sign of Gideon Chase all day. Maybe he wasn’t as interested in the Slayer of Slayers as Nicolai had been led to believe. Or maybe the news was already spreading that I was nobody to be afraid of.

I decided to think about it tomorrow.

Then, feeling like a big pile of crap who’d just destroyed everything she cared about in the world, I had them drop me back off at George’s place to mope and feel sorry for myself.

Well, our place. I guess. It would only be a matter of time before he started charging me rent. Which, since I was broke, would probably end badly.

I didn’t want to think about what had just happened. Quinn probably hated me now. I didn’t even want to know what Thierry thought about the situation. I wanted to put it all out of my mind. Was that possible? Unlikely, but here’s hoping.

I didn’t have a key, so I knocked on the door. After a moment it swung open and Amy looked out at me with red-rimmed eyes.

“My marriage is over,” she announced. “Want to get really, really drunk?”

I took a deep breath. “What the hell are you doing here?”

She held the door open and I brushed past her. Barkley came bounding over to me and I let him jump up and lick my face. If he really was a werewolf I was going to kick his butt someday, but if he was just a dog, it was a nice way to be greeted after a lousy day.

George emerged from the kitchen. “We’re eating ice cream. Amy brought it over.”

She nodded. “I did. Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey. Want some?”

I shook my head. “Remember I’m the one who can’t eat solid food anymore? But thanks for rubbing it in.”

She promptly burst into tears. “I’m sorry! I forgot!” She grabbed me and hugged me hard to sob against my shoulder. I patted her back.

“It’s okay. So what’s going on? Did you leave Barry?”

After a moment, she pulled away. “I know you’ve had a terrible week and I hate to unload on you like I have been. But yes. He doesn’t know it yet, but I’m gone. I confronted him about my suspicions but he didn’t say anything to make me think he’s not cheating. In fact, I think the other woman was there this afternoon.”

I raised an eyebrow. “Why do you think that?”

“Because he wouldn’t let me go into the den. He has it barricaded. She was probably hiding in there like a cheap, hiding whore.”

Or more likely it was all of the birthday party paraphernalia he was trying to hide. I didn’t know why Barry insisted on throwing Amy a surprise birthday party.
