The pride in his voice made me want to punch him again. “No. Because I know I’m right. And because I’m right, you’ll come back every single time. Anything to cure your boredom, really.”

I ground my teeth together as I snatched the book up from the bed. What the hell was wrong with that man? How in the fuck could the other two stand him? He didn’t know what the fuck he was talking about, and it wasn’t worth fighting with someone who always thought they were right. After all, I had never one a fucking fight with Gordon that ever ended with me being heard if he came into the conversation thinking he had already won.

And I sure as hell didn’t intend to engage in another one of those arguments.

“Stupid fuck,” I murmured as I started flipping through the pages of the book.

I found my place in the book, but I couldn’t focus. There was a bar? That I could go to? God, it sounded lovely, the idea of getting out and getting a drink. All of the time, I used to take my lunch breaks at the bar and grill across the street just to steal some time to myself. And while the book in my hand wasn’t the one still in my purse back at home, the thought of being anywhere but the fucking house pulled me off the bed.

Except, I had no money for a drink.

“Here,” Ranger said as he stuck his arm back through the door.

I watched him slap something against the dresser before he poked his head in.

“You know, in case you actually want to eat there as well instead of starving on our watch.”

I looked at the wad of cash he had left behind, almost like he had read my mind. “Thanks.”

“You’re welcome,” he grumbled as his boot steps faded down the hallway.

I waited until I couldn’t hear him. I waited until I thought he was down the steps for good, then I raced over to the tray. I scooped up the money and unfolded it, trying to organize it into some semblance of understanding. And as I counted it out, my eyes widened.

Jesus fuck, the man had given me three hundred bucks.

“This is such a bad idea,” I murmured to myself.

You know, before I stashed the money in my bra.

A smile overtook my face as I raced out of the room. I held the book tightly, making my way into the basement to try and scrounge an outfit together. Over the past few days, Dutch and Trooper had brought me some things. A pair of sweatpants. Some t-shirts. Troop brought a summer dress he thought I’d like, even though it fit me horribly. Still, they tried, and I picked through the few straggling things before I found that a comfortable set of leggings and a fresh t-shirt was perfect for a relaxing day in the corner booth of a bar.

I was going to make it a day of drinks and snacks while I read a book.
