I found Estelle hiding in her bedroom, and my heart felt like it was splitting open at the sight of her curled up with her pillow. When the door clicked behind me, she sat up. Her eyes were a little red and puffy.

“The universe hates me,” she said vehemently. “Fate, destiny—whatever you want to call it—it’s a twisted bitch.”

Taking a seat next to her, I ran my thumb over the pink splotches on her cheeks. “It was just bad luck. And Peter’s kind of a dick. We know that.”

She shook her head. “Three days ago, that dildo was dead as a doornail, Emery. Dead. I couldn’t get it to work for anything. The fact that it chose that moment to have a resurrection? Un-fucking-believable.”

“I’m sorry.” I wanted to tell her it would be okay, but I didn’t want to lie. “So, the bad news is that I couldn’t get Steve to agree not to show what happened.”

“Shit.” She sniffled. “What’s the good news? Please tell me there’s good news.”

I wrapped my arms around her. “I think Greg found a home.”

A genuine smile stretched across her face. “Really? That’s great.”

“Come out and meet Marty. He was so distracted by Greg giving him a complimentary beard trim that he didn’t even notice the stuff with Peter.”

“Okay.” Drawing a deep breath, she wiped the remainder of the smudged mascara from underneath her eyes.

Standing up, I held out my hand. She linked our fingers like it was the most natural thing in the world. I kissed her knuckles before letting go.

“Do you have a copy of your contract with the show?” I asked, because no matter what Steve said, I wasn’t willing to accept defeat just yet.

She nodded. “Yeah. Why?”

“Can I have it? I’m going to have my lawyer look over it to see if we can find a loophole or something.” I smoothed my hand over her hair. “Until then, try not to worry about it.”

“It’ll be hard to think about anything else,” she said glumly.

Smirking, I touched my forehead to hers. “I bet I can help you with that.”
