TY JERKED back. “Shit!”

He sounded out of breath, although our lips hadn’t actually had a chance to connect.

Even so, I was a bit breathless myself. Enough that when he grabbed the gun and moved to the window, I wasn’t able to tell him to be careful.

He tilted the curtain about an inch to the side and peered out through the crack.

The knock came again. “Delivery!”

It didn’t sound like Stan’s voice. And it must not have been Stan, because Ty went to the door and opened it. “Thanks, man. How much do I owe you?” He reached for the pizza box and a plastic bag that held the bottle of Sprite we’d ordered.

The delivery guy took a nervous step back. “I don’t want any trouble, man. Just take the pizza. I’ll—” He gestured over his shoulder.

“Don’t be stupid.” Ty stuffed the gun into his waistband at the middle of his back and dug some bills out of his pocket. He handed them over without looking at them. “Here. Did you happen to see anyone hanging around outside?”

The guy tucked the money away without looking at it, too. His hand was shaking. “Just the people by the pool.”

“Not a tall guy with blond hair?”

The less tall guy with black hair shook his head. “Is this to do with that rapist who shot two cops and escaped earlier today?” He didn’t wait for an answer, just continued, “Cool. Just wait till I tell the guys!”

He scurried off before Ty could ask him anything else. Ty closed the door and shook his head. “Idiot.”

“At least he didn’t see anybody lurking outside.”

I reached for the pizza box. Ty handed it to me. “If somebody’s lurking, you don’t usually see them. That’s the point.”

“Details, details.” I put the box in the middle of the bed and opened it. “Can we risk a little bit of light, do you think? It’s going to be hard to eat without it.” Not to mention drink.

He hesitated. “If we sit on the floor.”

The hard tile floor.

“Why?”

“Because he’ll assume we’re sitting on the bed or in the chairs,” Ty said. “So he’ll aim higher. If we’re sitting on the floor, we might be below his target range.”

“Or he might shoot us in the head. I feel safer up here.” Not to mention that my butt was more comfortable. “I’ll do without the light, thank you.”

Ty sighed. “I’ll turn on the light in the bathroom and crack the door a tiny bit. Just enough so we can see.”

“Thank you. Do we have cups?”

“No,” Ty said. “We’ll have to share the bottle.”

Wonderful. And we didn’t have plates, so we’d have to eat the pizza straight out of the box. But at least that didn’t continually involve putting my lips where Ty’s had been, and vice versa.

He turned the bathroom light on and pulled the door shut until there was a tiny sliver of light coming through the crack, just enough to see what we were doing.

“You know, Cassie,” he told me when he came back toward the bed, which was only about three steps away, “we’ve swapped saliva before.
