I SHOOK OFF THE DIZZY SPELL and decided to use the time before meeting up with GM to unpack and settle into my room. There was even time to spare to send off an email to Mom and Dad. I couldn’t wait to see what they came back with about this protection business.

It had been a few days since I let my friends know via email and some Snapchats that I was kicked out of school and lost my apartment. None of them—not even Cerise—had bothered to reply. Not a peep, and some of these guys I grew up with! I was tempted to phone Cerise and give her a piece of my mind. But really, why bother? So after shooting off my email to my parents I closed my laptop. I stared at it for a minute and then put it back into its travel case and tucked it beside the desk. Maybe going off the grid for a while was a good idea anyway.

I looked at the clock and saw that GM would be expecting me for cocktails before dinner shortly. I stood up to start getting ready.

I turned the water off and reached for the towel hanging on the bar next to the tub. It was fluffy and soft on my skin when I dried off and then stepped out, pondering what to wear. I could probably get away with leggings and my long silk top with the gold earrings and bangles.

I reached for my terry robe hanging behind the door and my gaze drifted to the floor. My clothes. There was no sign of my jeans or the top I’d been wearing. My eyes opened wide and I tugged the sides of the robe tight to my chin. How dare they! Someone had come in—unannounced—while I was naked in the shower, and taken my clothes!

I ran the comb through my hair, tugging a few stray strands out in the process. A small spot in the mirror appeared from the cloud of condensation and my nostrils flared as I yanked at my hair. This was too
