Chapter 10

Perched on the side of his bed a week after his lunch with Brett and Ethan, Sam eyed the cell phone in his hand with trepidation. He knew he had a call to make, a very important one, but he didn’t particularly want to. Hell, he’d been putting this call off for seven days now. And he was running out of time. Brooklyn wasn’t a patient woman. If he didn’t dial her number soon, she’d likely come after his ass. And a mad Brooklyn was a scary Brooklyn.

Sam took a deep breath. He could take the coward’s way out and avoid the conversation altogether. He could just lay down his phone and go into the living room with Tate and Benjamin Black. From the sound of it, his roommate and the famous musician were doing a fine job writing songs. Or he could make a quick run to Schroeder’s Theater where they were playing a comedy flick he’d been waiting to see. He could even swing by The Book Nook for Open Mic Night. Even better, he could go visit Brett and Ethan at the Paisley House.

Sam grinned. He really liked the last idea. But his smile quickly faded when he realized it might look conspicuous for him to just show up at the Bed and Breakfast they were staying at, especially considering they’d just left here ten minutes ago.

Or I could just put on my big boys pants and call Brooklyn. She’s not a psycho, just a psychic. Sam laughed at his bad attempt at a pun then unlocked his iPhone before he could change his mind. He jabbed the bright green icon with the white telephone receiver on it and dialed the number he knew by heart. He clicked Call and waited.

One ring didn’t even slip by before Brooklyn’s brusque greeting came over the line. “Hello, Sam.”

A reflexive smirk split Sam’s face. Of course, she expected it to be him. Knowing her, she had her cell phone in hand before he’d called. “Hi, Brooklyn. Long time. No talk.” He tried his best to be cool and pretend that nothing was wrong.

But Brooklyn wasn’t playing along. “Yes. Long time. No talk.”

Sam tried again. “How’ve you been?”

“Fine.”

He sighed. “Brooklyn…”

“Sam,” she countered, her tone sounding more distant by the second.

Giving up, Sam apologized. “I’m sorry.”

“For?” Brooklyn asked. She was apparently going to make him squirm before forgiving him, which wasn’t like her. She must really have been pissed at him. Then again, he supposed he deserved her anger. He’d been a royal pain in the ass to her lately—baiting her into arguing over Aly and avoiding her calls.

In his defense, though, she had been behind Aly’s sudden discovery of his whereabouts, and she had ratted him out to Brett and Ethan. Not only that, she’d told the two men about his attack and subsequent hospital visit, which hurt them. And that had been the last straw for Sam, so he’d stopped talking to her. Like an ungrateful bastard.

Frustrated, Sam flopped back on his bed with an ooph then muttered, “For everything.
