“Frank?” I knock on the door to his home office. It’s cracked open a little, so I peek in.

“Ivy,” he stands up from behind the desk wearing the same clothes that he had on last night. The room smells like scotch, and he’s got a heavy five o’clock shadow. I’ve never seen him look so disheveled. “Come all the way in.” He crosses to me and wraps me in a hug. “How are you this morning?”

“I’m alright.” I squeeze him back. “Last night was really nothing new, aside from her being so vicious in front of anyone else. Usually she saves the deep cuts for when it’s just her and I in the room.”

He winces. “I feel like I’ve failed you. I didn’t realize how bad it was. How bad she is.”

“It’s not your fault. I don’t talk about it or anything,” I shrug. “I haven’t even told my dad about it. I don’t want anyone to worry when I don’t take it to heart.”

Liar.

He gives me a look that says he doesn’t entirely believe me, but he lets it go.

“Levi said you sent her into the city?”

“Yeah. I’m taking the week and working from home. We’ll have family dinners this week, just the three of us.” He gives me a slight smile.

“That sounds nice,” I manage to smile back at him. “I better get going. I’m riding with Levi today.”

“Alright, have a good day.” He goes back to the mini bar in the corner of his office and pours a couple fingers of scotch.

I’m still frowning about it when I meet Levi in the garage. Until he grabs my wrist and pushes me up against the side of his G Wagon and kisses me senseless. One hand glides up my thigh and under my skirt, while the other wraps possessively around the back of my neck. His tongue parts my lips slides across my own. I moan into his mouth when I feel his body reacting to mine. We stand there kissing for so long the light in the garage goes off so there’s just the interior light from his car.

“What was that for?” I ask breathlessly.

“I had to get it out of my system before we get to school. It sucks to watch Con and Hoodrat making out all over the place and having to keep our relationship hidden. I know why we’re doing it, but it doesn’t change the fact that it sucks ass.” He rests his forehead against mine. “I love you so much, and I just want to scream it from the roof.”

“I know,” I kiss him, “I feel the same way.”

Sure enough, when we pull into his parking space Connor has Lilith up against his car. They aren’t actually kissing, but they’re pressed against each other smiling. I put on my happy mask and act like my mom didn’t tear me apart last night.

“Hey girl,” I grab Lilith’s hand and yank her away from Con who, of course, growls at me. I give him the middle finger and walk off arm in arm with her toward our lockers.
