It was way past midnight when Emory and I went to bed after I’d gone to her AirBnB, grabbed her shit, and argued with the renter to get her money back. It ended with me being two-hundred dollars richer and he got himself a broken nose.

We were in bed, but unlike the other night, Emory wasn’t so near the edge she almost fell off. She curled into her sheets on the other side while I lied cross-legged in a pair of gray sweats, reading my book. Emory kept glancing over, and maybe it had something to do with my bare chest. She thought she was discreet, but she wasn’t.

Maybe if I were blind I wouldn’t have caught her staring.

I cleared my throat, causing her eyes to dart to mine. “Why are you staring?”

“I’m just wondering what book you’re reading,” she lied. She was like me, she lied too easily.

“Uh-huh.” I smirked but didn’t look up from the book. “It’s called The Lucifer Effect.”

From the corner of my eye, I saw Emory bite her lip and sink further into the mattress. “Is it any good?”

A little chuckle escaped my lips and her brows drew together.

“Sure,” I said, my lips fighting the smile, “if you’re into psychology.”

Emory looked away from me. “Uhm, so what do we do when we get home? We still have to plan Founders’ Day, and today’s meetings were only the beginning.”

“We’ve been together for almost three days and we haven’t killed each other yet. We’ll manage.”

If I believed my own words, I wasn’t sure. There was still a seventy-thirty chance we’d end up on the floor in a pile of blood.

I’d spilled a few things too many tonight during dinner, but I knew Emory wouldn’t speak. Not because she cared a lot about me or my secrets, but because of who she was.

She was a good person, even if she pretended not to care.

Emory went silent and I finished the chapter before putting my book down and turning the bedside lamp off. Darkness coated the room, and the only light came from the cracks of the door leading to the bathroom.

I turned my head to the side to find Emory seemingly asleep on her pillow. She hugged the pillow under her head, and her eyelids were closed. But then they fluttered open and she looked right at me.

Shivers ran down my spine, because it was as if she saw right through my mask, my walls.

She saw me… maybe in a way no one ever had.

And it scared the hell out of me.

Yeah, whatever might have gone down the other night, and no matter how much she turned me on, I needed to forget about it. There was no doubt in my mind that Emory and I would crash and burn together, but we weren’t the only ones who would get burned.

We’d take the whole city down with us.

But for some reason, we seemed inevitable.

And maybe we were.
