Chapter 16

Sasha continued dancing with Artie, but her thoughts were already following Dare. He seemed as though he were genuinely trying to help her. He’d used bumping into Artie as an excuse to check his thoughts, and then he’d let her know silently that things were okay now.

But somehow, without Dare there, they weren’t.

Artie seemed like a nice enough guy after talking to him, but it just wasn’t the same as being with Dare.

She missed his flashing blue eyes, his volatile expressions, his insistence that he was a monster while he was obsessed with keeping everyone safe.

People he cared about, at least, which was admittedly few in number.

He’d had an odd look in his eye when he’d told them he was going outside for a second, and she wasn’t sure she liked it at all.

Just where was he going right now? He wouldn’t have left her if he didn’t think she was safe, but was he going to be safe at the moment?

She looked up at Artie, who seemed to be guessing her thoughts.

“Do you want to go check on your friend?” Artie said, stepping back and releasing her. “You look worried.”

He really was a nice guy. A computer engineer who lived nearby and loved board gaming. Tall, at least for a human guy, lanky but in an adorable way. She could tell he worked out, and he genuinely seemed attracted to her.

All in all, this was the kind of guy she should want.

Yet… her heart wanted to be where Dare was. Difficult, frustrating, stubborn-to-the-end Dare.

“I get it,” Artie said. “Can I at least give you my number so you can call if you want to?” He looked in the direction Dare went. “If things don’t work out with your… friend, I mean.”

Sasha nodded eagerly, handing him her phone. “I’m sorry, really. I just want to make sure he’s okay.”

Artie put his number in her phone and hers in his and then sighed, shoving his hands in his pockets. “All the good ones are taken, right?”

She laughed. “I don’t think so. You’re single, right?” She gestured to the room. “Plenty of fish in the sea.”

He smiled at her wistfully, but she simply turned and began to make her way to the exit, already desperate to know what was going on with Dare.

She’d seen sadness in his eyes when he first left her with Artie, and she knew she shouldn’t care since he’d already said it was impossible for them to be together.

She knew she was just going to get hurt over this, but she couldn’t seem to help wanting to get near him. Wanting to connect.

So she decided she would go after him and just let the chips fall where they may.

When she reached the door that led outside, she grabbed the handle tentatively before pushing it slowly open.

It took a second for her eyes to adjust to the darkness, with only a few dim streetlamps overhead and cement walls on all sides, a few dumpsters dead ahead.

She heard odd
