“Which one is Morris again?” Tamara asks as we sit at lunch, trying to find more energy to keep shopping.

We’ve managed to buy almost everything I need for the kitchen, which isn’t much because, like my mother, I suck at cooking. We bought pillows, bedding, towels, and just enough other things to make the place livable and as comfortable as a dorm room. In time, I’ll make it more of a home, but for now, it would do.

“He’s a guy in the Disciples. One of Pike’s good friends.”

Her dark brown eyebrows wrinkle as she studies me over her double burger. “So, he shot Pike in the shoulder, but they’re friends?”

I know what she’s thinking. It’s bananas and something I’ll never understand about men.

“Yep,” I snap the P.

“If a bitch even looks at me sideways, I’m never going to be her friend. If she shoots me…” She shakes her head, that pile of brown hair moving with her, still not comprehending the way a man’s brain works. “I’d kill her.”

I shrug, shifting through my fries to find a crunchy little one. “I don’t understand it, Tam, but he’s really a nice guy.”

She blinks at me, dropping her chin. “He’s a nice guy?”

I nod. “He’s super sweet and funny.”

“He shot Pike,” she reminds me as if I didn’t just tell her that five seconds ago.

“I know, but it was on accident.”

She blinks those hazel eyes again, placing her burger back on the plate. “You sound like him now. He shot Pike, but it’s okay because it wasn’t on purpose and he’s nice.”

“Uh, yeah,” I say like duh.

“Where’s my cousin, and what have you done with her?”

I snort, knowing I sound like a complete psycho. “Stop it.” I throw a fry in her direction, one that’s limp and wasn’t going in my mouth anyway. “I’m just telling you what happened.”

“Is Morris hot?” She lifts an eyebrow, her old-man radar going off. “’Cause he sounds badass.”

“Are you out of your freaking mind?” I gawk at her.

She smirks. “You said he’s funny and sweet. Plus, if he’s any kind of a badass biker dude like Pike, I’m all in, baby.”

I reach up and rub my temples, instantly regretting it when my greasy fingers slide across my skin. “Morris is old enough to be your father.”

She grimaces but quickly rebounds. “Does he have a son?” she asks in a super chipper tone. “Because if he does—” she waggles her eyebrows “—I want to meet him.”

“What is wrong with you?” I ask her, going back to pushing around my French fries.

“I need to move on with my life. What was it that Mallory told you?” She lifts a finger, staring upward, recalling those words from almost two years ago. “The best way to get over someone is to get under someone else. Maybe we can go over to the compound one night for a party.”

I drop the fry from my fingers and push my entire plate to the side. Leaning forward, I whisper, “Are you out of your fucking mind?”

“No,” she insists calmly.
