Lily and I spend the whole car ride trying to process what just happened, but it takes that long just to share all we both learned during the conversations.

“How on earth did we find the two guys in this city who are also moonlighting as vigilantes?” I ask as I put my key in my front door. “Talk about fate.”

“It says a lot about this place and how horrific it is. Three kids from the same high school going through their own hell. But it makes sense that we were drawn to each other then and again now,” Lily says, walking in and turning to face me.

I stick my tongue out at Lily. “Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don’t rub it in that I didn’t know you all your life. You’re right. Like calls to like though, sometimes unconsciously,” I say, lost in my thoughts of how easily I am drawn to Damon. His laugh and comforting presence are like my own personal siren call.

Lily smiles at me—the first real one since we walked up to the Crimson Creed shop sign earlier. “I didn’t really know Damon well though. Sounds like you may know him better than me,” she says, winking at me.

I narrow my eyes at her. “Shut up.”

She chuckles. “Anyway, it seems all the situations were pretty intertwined. Ade’s dad was a creepy ass which got me and him on that path. You and Damon had your own shit with your respective families. D got pulled in through Ade and needing support with his mother. And you and I happened upon it that one day.”

We make our way to the kitchen, and I pull out all my takeout menus, needing some comfort food. “Well if I didn’t already think you and Ade were meant to be, I definitely do now.”

“Now you can shut up.” She smirks at me.

I’m glad they didn’t end up being traffickers like we thought. Killing my best friend’s ex may have been a bit complicated, especially when she is so clearly in love with him. But I’m happy for her.

“What about you and Damon?” I can feel her eyes boring into my face, but I bring my focus down and stare intently at the menus as I flip through them—not processing a single written word.

“There is no me and Damon,” I say, but even I don’t fully believe it.

A petite hand blocks my view and slams the menus into the granite countertop of my kitchen island. “Bitch, that is such a pile of horseshit. I’ve never seen two people click so fast. Not even Adrian and I did that. Our love stemmed from years of friendship. Yours stemmed from . . . I don’t know. Fate or whatever the fuck you said earlier.”

I grab her hand gently and move it away from the menus. “While I believe that fate brought us all together—that you and Ade are endgame, and that we can now all work together to end X— I am just happy with my best friend and two other friends I can kick ass with.
