AFTER CATHRYN WENT upstairs, I stalked the room, pacing from one corner to the other. Joss sat quietly, her eyes never leaving me. I saw pain and sympathy, but she didn’t speak. And I was grateful.

A few minutes passed, and then I felt Tasmyn moving. She was getting closer, and my heart pounded as I thought maybe—maybe—she had found out I was here, too, and she was coming down to find me. I almost went to the door, almost stood in the hallway shouting out her name like some lunatic.

But no. She was leaving. I stood at the window by the curtain, and I watched her step outside into the sunshine. This time, I got a good look at her face. She’d cut her hair, just a little, and now it swept over her shoulders. She was wearing it partly pulled back, and as she turned toward the cars, she flicked it away from her face, tilting her head. I drank it in, as I realized this could be one of the last times I would ever see her. Our paths were not likely to cross again, at least not if Cathryn and Carruthers had anything to do with it.

A few steps from the Mustang, Tasmyn stopped. She put one hand to her head in a gesture so familiar to me I almost lost it. That was her tell: she was hearing someone, or feeling something, an emotion that didn’t come from her. She turned to look back at the house, and I saw her forehead was wrinkled, her mouth tight. Questioning.

Had she felt me here? Or even heard my thoughts? I wasn’t always so consistent about blocking them—I’d become lazy since we graduated and I didn’t have to worry about hiding what I was thinking from Tas—so it was possible. I willed her to turn back around, or even to spot me at the window.

But when she began walking again, it was toward her car. And not, I reminded myself, her car. That was Michael’s car. Which only served to let me know how close they still were: she might be working for Carruthers, but she was going to school some place near by—Perriman College wasn’t far, I realized--driving Michael’s car, maybe even living with him.

Tasmyn climbed into the driver’s seat, started the engine and pulled away without another hesitation. I watched until the car disappeared around the curve of the house, and then I leaned against the window.

“Are you okay?” Joss was next to me, one arm around my waist. I closed my eyes, rocked my head back.

“No, I don’t think so.” I blew out a long breath. “Joss, how much liquor do you have back at the house?”

She dug her fingers deep into my shoulders, massaging the tensed muscles there. “Not enough. But don’t worry, I’ll get more.” She patted my back. “Go home now. Don’t stop. Just keep driving until you get there. I’ll be right behind with you supplies.”
