I’m on a plush chaise lounge when I wake up to sunlight streaking across my face. I blink several times, trying to get the harsh light from burning my eyes. Whose fucking idea was it to have the sun?

I try sitting up and I groan loudly.

Hungover. And not only that, my entire body aches.

“You’re awake,” a voice says lightly. One that makes me freeze where I am. I look up to see Cat standing there, this time fully dressed in a striped skirt and a black t-shirt. Much to my disappointment.

She smiles softly at me. “Good morning.”

“Fuck, what happened last night?” I rub my eyes with the palms of my hands, trying to get the burned retina effect out of my vision.

“Well, I don’t know what happened before you showed up on the Palais Dubrevs’s doorstep,” Cat says, sitting on the sofa across from me. “But I do know that you showed up here like a drunk idiot wanting to talk to me.”

I freeze. “Did we talk?”

She gives me a strange look. “No, you passed out. Doorman McDoorman, as you called him, had to cry you up to my room.”

So, she didn’t just leave me out on the street. Something about that makes me feel that maybe she doesn’t consider me a lost cause. I rub the plush couch, and it grounds me here. I’m really in Cat’s room. She cares enough about me to not abandon me.

“Here, drink this,” she says, handing me a Bloody Mary.

“Thanks,” I say, taking a tentative sip. “This is good.”

She grins. “Jessica says the same thing. I think that’s the real reason she wants to hire me again.” She watches as I take another sip. “It’s my dad’s recipe. It’s supposed to help cure any hangover.”

Even now, hearing the D-word makes me shiver. She has a dad. And I’ll soon be a dad.

“What did you want to talk about last night?” she asks softly, and I look at her, silhouetted against the morning sun.

“I wanted to apologize.”

She snorts derisively. “You said that on the doorstep. And that couldn’t wait for a phone call this morning? Or something.”

I shake my head, but immediately regret it. “No.” I comb a hand through my greasy hair, and I hope I don’t look as disgusting as I feel. “Because that’s something that I have to say in person. And I didn’t want you suffering, thinking that I’m an idiot. That you’re carrying the baby of an idiot like me.”

She regards me silently. “Well, you are kind of an idiot.”

I give a short laugh. “You’re always so honest.”

She gives a half-hearted shrug. “I work with truth in the news. I’m blunter than I need to be, sometimes.”

“Don’t ever lose that.”

She shakes her head with a laugh.

I clear my throat. “I went to the bar last night,” I tell her, the words tumbling out of my mouth so quickly, I wonder if I’m still drunk. “I drank until I was nearly cut off. There was this blond there, this sheila named…” I frown.
