Gabby was absolutely one hundred percent certain she didn’t want to tell Hunter’s friends about what they’d done last night. But that entire idea flew out the window the second she opened her apartment door and Toni gave her a knowing smile. She didn’t get it. Was she giving off some vibe saying that she’d had the best sex of her life last night? Had the five times she’d brushed her hair somehow not managed to get all the sex hair tangles out? What had Toni seen that had tipped her off?

But in the long run, it really didn’t matter. She stepped aside to let Toni in, and the woman stared curiously around Gabby’s apartment.

“Good morning,” said Gabby cautiously. Toni was a hard one to read, and from the stories she’d told Gabby, she was a good friend to have, and a worse enemy.

“Good morning,” said Toni cheerfully. She circled Gabby’s apartment, carefully looking over every detail.

“Can I help you find something?” asked Gabby.

Toni shook her head even while she wasn’t looking at Gabby. “I’m just curious about you. It’s always interesting to see someone’s home for the first time. It tells you a lot about the person.”

“Well, I don’t feel uncomfortable at all,” said Gabby.

Toni snorted. “Don’t feel too weird about it. If it helps, I don’t have a home at all. Scott and I kind of bounce around the country, going where we’re needed. I bet you that tells you more about me than anything I’ll learn about you in this apartment.”

Gabby didn’t know whether that was right or not, but she didn’t reply. She couldn’t think of anything good to say.

Toni paused and picked up one of the few pictures Gabby had strewn about the apartment. “Is this your family?”

Gabby swallowed uncomfortably. Of course Toni would narrow in on that picture. “It is. I keep on feeling like I should put it away, but it seems strange to not have any pictures of family out. No matter how weird the family is, you know?”

“As someone with an epically odd family, I do know. You look happy.”

Gabby took the picture from Toni’s hand and studied it. “Yeah, I was happy back then.” The picture showed her when she was about ten years old, wearing a pink frilly dress alongside her parents, who were both dressed up. She didn’t remember where the picture was from. Her dad had so many political events, she’d dressed up like that countless times. But this picture was a little different because all three of them were smiling. Knowing what she knew now, her parents’ smiles were fake, but hers wasn’t. She’d been a happy kid, spoiled by her parents and blind to all the dysfunction. This was from before her mom had run out, and her dad looked the same as he did when he’d been arrested. A chubby man with a beard that made him appear more cheerful than he ever actually was.

“I’ve been looking into your father,” said Toni.

Gabby stiffened. “Why?”

“Because Hunter made a good point.
