Tristan’s father’s car is a red five-seat Audi convertible. When he pulls it out of the garage, Ginny feels no surprise or excitement. She feels nothing really, having just eaten four of the pastries he ordered and thrown them all up afterward.

No one was in the kitchen when she found the box. The boys were all off showering, shaving, or otherwise getting ready for the day. She intended to eat only one. Only half of one, actually. But, similar to what happened the night before, the second that chocolate croissant hit her tongue, she couldn’t stop.

She polished off the croissant. Then she moved on to a muffin. Then she cleared away a coffee cake. Only when the final pastry, a sort of cream-filled roll, was gone and the box was empty could she cease chewing. She shut the box, shoved it into the garbage, and ran straight up to her bathroom.

Now all she feels is the cool, even buzz that follows a good purge.

They pile into the car, Clay in shotgun, Ginny squished between Adrian and Finch.

Great.

As the car crunches down the driveway and out the front gate, Ginny shifts closer to Adrian, careful to ensure her thigh doesn’t touch one slice of Finch’s bare skin. She might imagine it, but she thinks that Adrian scoots closer to her, too. Up front, Clay plugs in his phone and puts on something called Friday Beers Tasty Licks playlist. The convertible rolls down a road called Béla király út, passing one gated mansion after another until they round a bend and the houses disappear altogether. They’re left with an open view of Budapest, all the way from one side of the Danube to the other.

Clay whistles.

“The view is even better when you fly in on a helicopter,” Tristan says.

“Shut up, Tristan,” says the rest of the car.
