“That Damned Hair Like Honey.”

JOEL

I’d recognized her hair the second I’d laid eyes on her. That damned hair like flowing honey that I wanted to wrap my hands in. I needed for that girl to be her. She had the biggest eyes I’d ever seen, even hidden behind all those ridiculous layers of makeup. I prayed that it was her. Then she laughed over something I’d said. I had no idea what—I had been too lost in her gaze—and those chimes I’d heard over the phone were in her hushed laughter.

She’d surprised me.

She’d ambushed and disarmed me. I had been deliriously happy when she appeared next to my chair, tiny little thing with a body that could set Hell on fire. When she kissed me, I was ash in her hands. Her tongue on my tongue. Her hair falling like a curtain, blocking us from the rest of the world. I played along, kissed her back, and then let her run away to keep her secret.

That was last night. This morning was a different story.

“Check out that rack!” I said on a whistle as I walked into Levi’s room without knocking.

He swiped screens immediately, and I could have sworn he was blushing beneath all the beard.

“So who’s the vixen and what the hell kind of complicated costume was that?”

“She’s this . . . cosplayer I know. It isn’t exactly a costume. Never mind. You need anything?”

My friend was grumpier than usual.

“Yeah, I cave. I want everything you can get me on my Text Girl.”

He grinned.

“Make coffee and let’s play!”

In the next couple of hours, I found out Leonie Marsh had a full scholarship, which she had earned through consistently excellent, meritorious hard work. In her free time, she worked with children and cut hair at a campus barbershop. I’d never been so impressed with anyone, ever. I saw Theresa Marsh’s hospital records and medicine bills and the articles about the accident Leonie’s parents were in. I saw prom pictures with her and an asshole who I’d seen on campus a few times. She was smiling in the picture, but it wasn’t a smile that reached her eyes. This girl wasn’t happy there. Smile on her mouth but no twinkle in her eyes. It wasn’t the smile she gave me last night, and it wasn’t the smile I would see tomorrow when I stopped in to get my hair cut.
